Hey All

I`m an Auto Tech at a High Volume A/C Shop,we do alot of costom work on Older Car`s and Truck`s,and we get to see some very nice work that the Owner`s have done to these older auto`s. Doing this kinda work,I`ve been behind the wheel of just about every auto that you can think of,from the 944,to a Pantera........but I`m a sucker for the Old Truck`s

Here is the latest one to make me Slobber all over myself.......72 Ford Ranger XLT, Camper Special

I love my job,and I look foward to going to work everyday

How Bout You ?

I work at a Ford Dealership here in Birmingham.  Is my job rewarding?  I guess it gives me a paycheck!  I'm less than stoked to come to work everyday and stare at a brick wall across an alley.  I sell parts at the service counter, I deal with techs all day, and if there is no work, it's very boring.  I do however enjoy everyone I work with.  My boss lives on Lake Logan Martin, and shares the same passion for fishing that I do.  It's pretty easy to sneak out early to go fish, because he usually is to.  I would love to get a job in the fishing/marine industry.  They're puting up a new Bass Pro about 20 minutes from my house, so I will apply there and see what I can get into.

I don't hate my job, I definitely have some fun here, but I don't love it either!

Sorry to hear that Josh,I`ve had plenty of those type of job`s,but it has taken me 20 Some-Odd Year`s for me to finaly decide what area of the Auto Industry I wanted to Speacialize in...........I thought about Marine Motor Work,so I could stay near the water, but Auto A/C it my true calling......and it`s one or the few things folk`s here in Fla. refuse to live without :

Food

Fuel

And Freon

Find what you do best.....And if it keep`s you Intrested and Learning every day....Grab it,and run like heck...not many of those around

Good Luck with the BPS Job

What do I find rewarding about my job? Well the tax prep industry is good to me...

But I take a certain liking to legally #$^&ing the IRS at their own game, by their own rules...

I got into this industry to make sure the IRS doesn't get one red cent that it's not due, and my clients recieve the proper deductions and credits they can claim, so that they get the full refund they are legally owed.

I've also been doing some research, and should the owners of the franchise i currently work for sell, then I'll be starting my own income tax service, as I have my own client base.

Oh, and im delving into bookkeeping now year-round work as well.
