    or any profession..doesn't really have to be yours..

    mechanical engineer..

    i rest my case at this:
    http://stagevu.com

    that site is awesome by the way..high definition - easily downloadable videos - (including full featured movies, this is not spam, and i don't think that site is illegal(i hope))

    i just hope you don't get busy surfing it to tell us why your profession is best..

    You have a strange idea of what mechanical engineering does if you think that's a defence of the profession.

    I'm sorry but I do not have a "profession" , I have a "trade". I do not need to defend them for they are already looked upon as a needed part of the society I live in and are well respected for what they do.

    No, I hold a masters license in two trades, I did have my own company for many years which I was the sole proprietor of. A trade is carpenter, electrician, mechanic or plumber as examples.

    LOL! Not really, all you need is to be mechanically inclined and have some business sense about things. Not really the best of the best but just being able to know what the rules and regulations are as well as how to fix, repair or design things.

    (sight)..sounds like a quite yet successful.. simple yet intelligent way to live...nowadays we associate success with big companies and 18 hours of work on billions of dollars invested in state of the art- world changing fields..

    a life like yours is very tempting..but i believe i'll go with life the hard way..some REAL dirty things in this world which just have to be done..and i love a challenge..

    WELL??

    anyone else who has a job he wants to share??

    i think i shoul've made it "curse your profession"

    I'm underpaid, overworked, and I love every fucking minute of it. I've worked manual labor since I was 14 and now that I'm on the pathway to a career that not only will I love, but I will be able to change ppl's lives and help them. Fuck yeah. I never fail at the things I truly want.

    Computer stuffs. I actually like it, I'm just messing around.
    I did get woken up at 6am today for some crap that isn't even important and that made me kind of pissed.
    Ah well, at least I get to do it in my pajamas.

    As for me, I'm a college student. I don't work a part-time job because I've hypothesized that uneducated jobs will de-educate a person. That's just my opinion though. I'll save the blue collar jobs for the uneducated, because I sure as hell can't afford to lose precious mnemomically preserved scientific facts
