You are a gem among the young!

Think about this... When I was young I had to get all my info from the LIBRARY! I'm only 32 and incan definitely remember when there was no Internet! No forums to quickly share info, no online retailers of fabulous stuff. We had to get our animals from mail order lists like glades herps and pray we could find books about the animals we were successfully trying to keep

I work as the office manager for the SS Lane Victory. It is a WWII Victory ship/museum in San Pedro. I work Mon-Sat maybe 9am-2pm, 10am-1pm, 11am-3pm, whatever I need to be there to get the job done. VERY flexible schedule which is needed. I also care for my 90 year old father. That's my #1 priority. So, I guess I really have 2 jobs. Part-time and full-time. It works for me.

I am a medical clerk. Day shift. I hate it!

You're a good man, that's one of the most difficult and admirable jobs around.

Thank you. It is just what I "do". It does get trying at times. BUT...It's what family is for.

I caption phone calls for the hearing impaired. It's called CapTel. I used to do graphic design (then I moved). Now I'm finishing my bachelor's in graphic design so I can find a new/better job. Given my busy schedule, I just work whatever random hours I can..

ohh! electric! I love it, and I hate it, like to do it, but always afraid I will kill myself! Must be hard work!

no mistakes allowed, lol. 480 volts hurt but 12,000 there is no oops. Not hard as long as you dont get comfortable.

[ShieldMantid1997]

Highschool student, and my siblings call me my houses "maid". Does not make me happy but since I'm the only in my house who likes everything clean and in order, i guess i gotta do what i gotta do.as for what Agent A was saying, we (the young relatively new ones) will some day be the "yen_saw's" and the "Hibiscusmile's" helping the newbies. We have to absorb all the knowledge form them to pass it on to keep the hobbie alive! Thinking about it, oh geez... :helpsmilie:

 

[hibiscusmile]

Sure are a lot of diff jobs on this forum, seems like electric comes in first for doubles, lot of night shift people too!

 

[StevieHification]

Use to be a tower hand but got laid off two months ago... due to the economy. So I'm going back to school next Spring to learn how to be an aircraft mechanic.

Hey so would you know how would I go about making something better then what it already is but making it my own? Do you get what I'm saying? Is it possible?

 

[rs4guy]

Are you talking patentability on an improved, already introduced to the market kinda product?

 

[yen_saw]

My back ground is petroleum engineering but currently working in oil and gas sector as consultant engineer for offshore deepwater flowline. Offshore life may sound interesting but it is tough work as decision needs to be made anytime in 24 hours. I am happy to do my work from the office as it gives me more free time which is how I pick up this hobby

 

[minard734]

I think that everyone here who is very young, under 20, should start their own topic, we r the new generation of hobbyists and there's quite a few of us

Me, Ryan, shieldmantid, sinisha, sinensispsyched, gripen, and a few more im sure

Just a thought students, unite!!!

I only hope to be as good as Yen, Rebecca, Precarious, etc. one day. It's a funny thought. Where will the hobby of mantid breeding/keeping be 20 years from now or even 40? Who will be the "Yens" and "Hibiscusmiles"? I also wonder who is still gonna be in the hobby? I wonder about myself as well. Hahaha!
