    I'm just a firefighter. I really wanted to be a rock star but that didn't work out so now I run into burning buildings while people are running out. Here's a picture of my other garage. When my Tacoma gets stuck...my Hummer pulls it out.IMG_0157.jpg

    I guess some things never change. That's where my father trained in aircraft electronics on the early 1950s.

    Sorry, not trying to hijack this thread, but I have a question related to this in a way.

    Is anyone in here a "resume expert" that works on putting them together for people?! Wondering if there is anyone like that, that I could ask to update and spice up mine. Time to update it and look at what's out there due to some recent events at my current job.

    I'm willing to throw in some type of "donation" as well. :thumbsup:

    I know my old college has job fairs where they do resume workshops, so I assume there is a service like this out there.

    Maybe check a local Junior College/University/College and see if they offer services like that?

    Currently a student for another month or so. I served 3 years in the US Army infantry, got out and I am finishing up my BS in wildlife and fisheries management and biology. I have mostly worked with the Wyoming toad in the summers and a few small jobs with grad students.

    I am going to be working as a biologist when I graduate. Waiting for more info on the hiring freeze but I will be doing one of the following two jobs.

    Idaho: Fish biologist working with chinook, sockeye, steelhead, bull trout, pacific lamprey and some other fish species.

    Wyoming: Biological technician working with grizzlies, wolves, swift foxes, burbot and some native trout.

    I am pretty stoked about what the future brings.

    If you have a tool and die backround you can easily roll that experience into machining for any of a number of manufactures. The top rate pay for CNC machinist at my job is $31 an hour. You won't be rich but you can support a family with it and usually the benefits are good. Depending the the company your with. Like any job you have to work your way up though. And many provide paid training/schooling for related positions in the company.
