Hey guys, I am looking at my different possibilities at careers. I have a B.S. in Criminal Justice. I am currently a facilities engineer at an internet company at the Data Center. Its just so damn boring and I want to make more money and don't see this company expanding any time soon. What do you guys do/want to do? I am just looking for some ideas.:xyxthumbs:

Family business....we use to pump/finish concrete but we moved more into the sales end of things and now we sell concrete/construction equipment. Good coin for sure

Honestly i did it for awhile (different company though) but since i've been in the family biz we have been an equipment dealer...I started out in the production end of things mounting equip then moved into sales about 3 years ago or so... but ya i started out working for a local guy placing and doing some finishing. Concrete is good money...do you enjoy it?

sometimes i think i should buy a line pump and just work my ass off....could make a killing

I'm a handyman although my official title is "Building Engineer". I work maintenance at a hospital. I'm currently studying law and hoping to combine that with previous studies to work in environmental law and policy making. I'm a greeny who want to be rich!

Good thread Pimpin I was gonna make something like this but never did. I dont work right now but have an interview at the rec and as a bank teller (major is finance). After college My career will either be a junior stock broker or investment banker or possibly some kind of junior analyst for a company. I think these jobs will put a damper on my bodybuilding but the money is ridiculous.

Its all good I guess. If the assignments are longer then a couple of days/weeks its just like a normal job. You get a task, and you leave when its done.

Man concrete work has to be the hardest job on the earth hands down. Beau you know what i meen. Pulling a come a long while pouring 500 yards in the summer with no break until you are poured out is a straight BITCH! Im glad i started my own thing. Of course i enjoy it! On a decent week i can bring in 1000 n a few days and if i book work for the whole week its closer to 2000 or more depending on the type of work. I did a patch job and made 500 n a few hours. Not too shabby.

Nice thread. I'm starting University on the 22nd of September and will be studying Applied sports science. Wanting to be a Nutritionist at the end of it and hoping to become a Professional Bodybuilder. In the mean time i work part time at a local supermarket stacking shelves.
