kitbash1 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'm a Culinary Arts student, who was a printer for 30 years until the bottom fell out of the printing industry back in 2010. Since I'm in school, my disposable income is near zero and my kit buying is down to one every 4 or 5 months. Once school is finished in January, and I find a job I'm going to go on a kit binge with my first pay cheque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misha Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I've made living as a professional stage designer for theatre, completed a BFA and MFA and went on to be a professor teaching at a variety of western Canadian universities. One of the joys of my profession is the construction, usually in 1/48 scale, of a model of the design, in addition to the draftings, and colour renderings. Having built models my entire life, okay, from the age of eight, this came very easily to me. With my students I always stressed the notion of learning to look at things in scale, to see how an object could be utililized in a different scale to represent some other item. Model construction to many was difficult, especially since it is usually all scratch built. I was able to surprise a lot of my colleagues, who were used to using matte board for construction, with the introduction of Plastic! Using plastic sheets and extruded shapes made a world of difference in the final product. Overall it was always a bonus to include my passion for modelling with my profession.

Agent G Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Remind me not to come where you work and try and count cards lol Counting cards is not against any law in Nevada. You will only be asked to leave the casino. Don't try it next door at another property, they already know about you before you get there. Bending cards, marking cards, switching cards etc. is a crime. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I do Facility Planning for pharmaceutical companies. I work with the organization, their growth and expansion plans, and make sure they have proper real estate to do so. I am currently looking for a new gig because the company that hired me to find a location and build a new headquarters building for them got a new CEO who squashed that project. I interview next Monday with another small pharma that wishes to do the very same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The70judgeman Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Temp to hire 2nd shift, with odd start time, bagger, forklift operator, stocker, and loader at a nationally known pre-mix bagged/bulk concrete/mortar facility...for now. Hopefully, I'll get hired on permanent and get all the OT I'm missing. I could have doubled what I've already made so far, but I can't even consider buying any models right now. Hey, you take what you can get sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD528 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Mechanical designer 20+yrs (HVAC and piping systems) and mechanical engineering student for a second time around so I can actually finish! Never chased my automotive engineering dreams fully and now is the time, life is short. Performance engineering/tuning/fabrication is where I'd like to be someday, but until then model building keeps me in that dreamy state!
