$17hr?....you can get twice that much here in Houston
again...what do you do?...skills?
More like what I can do cuz of my ailments, bad back and hands. I am supposed to be on disabilty but have refused to do so, so far. But I prolly oughta do it soon. I'd like to be able to work a little while longer rat hole some money. Get a couple of my projects close to complete, get the house modernized, carpet, countertops etc. Then build my 30x40 building in the backyard like I intended to do when I bought this house 12 years ago and have me an at home trans shop in the backyard doing bench jobs. No R&R. My ailments won't allow me to do that on a daily basis anymore, but I can do bench jobs if I had a hoist system to move them around.
Not much I haven't done in my life, but I did not stay with any one thing for more than 5 or 6 years. Got bored easy and changed careers to often. I have built skyscrapers, houses, cars, trucks, motors, transmisisons, applance repair, alignment tech, delivery driver, shuttle bus driver, real estate agent, car salesman, mortgage and personal loan officer, commerical metal stud framing and drywall, computer tech, self employed eBay business, yada yada yada !!! Whudda you want done, I am sure I can do it and if not, I am smart enough to find the resources to get it done. Also been in management with about every job I ever had. I'd like to work in an auto machine shop and learn that side of the auto's. Never got to do that yet. Oh and repoed cars for awhile too, and also worked for a used car lot picking up cars with a tow truck and getting them make ready to put on the lot in the younger days. I better quit typeing cuz I am sure I can think of other thngs I have done too, like worked for Southland Corp in So Cal repairing all the 7-11's with whatever they needed done from tile to roof, to asphault in the parking lot, crash poles, car stops, line stripping painting etc. Also built a couple Drug Emporiums, Marriott Hotels.
