OldSlowReliable Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I used to work as a veterinary surgeon assistant, and get the occasional kickback for repairing my family's cars (I usually get 50% the cost of parts, or 50% what labor was quoted at the shop) For a while I was doing graphic design, as well as the occasional photography gig...made a fair buck doin that....but its been a while since I've done regular designing due to other priorities. Now I'm a college bum...just about poor, and jobless, but gonna hopefully find a job on the stretch of road where theres about 10 dealerships, 6 quick oil changes, and 5 auto parts stores right outside of campus for the spring/summer.

5523Pathfinder Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Oh man, nice topic!! Im a Infiniti Master Technician, ASE Master Technician. I currently work at a Infiniti dealer in Tacoma Washington. I started back in 1995 at ABC Nissan in Phoenix after attending Universal Technical Institute. I have had almost every nissan from the early to mid 90's to now, taken apart and put back toghether in some fashion. I made the move to Infiniti almost 4 years ago. I was more of a sports car guy(mustang, 300zx) until I needed something a little more utility. I do some small customizing at home and work(acessories and stuff). Not sure if it has anything to do with Pathfinders either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lint Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'm a tech-ed (shop) teacher for high school. Before teaching, I was trained in Joinery (cabinetmaking) and worked in Vancouver's film industry as a carpenter, building sets. In my spare time, I restore vintage motorscooters from the '50s and '60s. I really like making my old Lambretta (I have several) scooters go fast. Like 75-85 mph fast. I teach woodworking, metal work & fabrication, CAD drafting and CNC machining, small engines, automotive and also electronics. This is my first Pathfinder (and Nissan), but I must say, I'm converted! The 'finder is a brillant machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9sar Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 ... you work with Boeing or Lockheed? i need to get back out to CA and I think aerospace is gonna be my only ticket besides Tesla motors... Yes. And if you get a job with Tesla, let me know if you get an employee discount. I could use a good deal on a Model S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyP503 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I was an electrician in the Navy for six years, just graduated with a BS in mechanical engineering.

Methfinder Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I'm working toward my bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering. I work as a factory technician at Off-Road Innovations 5 months out of the year when I'm not in school. (ORI Struts) This explains why I'm attempting to mount them to my 1999.5 pathy. It's pretty fun. I get alot of work experience that applies directly to my engineering major. Messing with the IFS on the Pathfinders kinda makes me want to get into automotive engineering so I can know what the hell I'm doing. I'm not completely clueless though.

MallCrawler99 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Interesting topic! I create building (residential and non-residential) energy models to analyze their energy usages, provide recommendations for potential energy savings and to participate in California's Savings By Design incentive programs, LEED certification as well as meet the minimum California Energy Building Standards. Not much to do with pathfinders, but I love my pathy! I'm a treehugger and drive a Pathy. Deal with it... K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
