      I work for Du Pont Chemical. I'm a control room board operator. Basically, I sit and push buttons and watch little pretty lights on 12 computer screens. Exciting, I know! My wife says I have the same job as Homer Simpson. But hey, it pays real well and I don't see her complaining, huh?

      Petrified....my wife is a teacher too. She teaches 3rd grade. What does yours teach?

      Oscare003....that's a good move if you're looking for a maint job at a plant like mine. Our maintenance guys here make as much as we do ($36/hour) plus more since they are always getting call outs with overtime.

      Hi everybody, I'm new here. Unlike many of you, while I love the Aveo, I don't "Love the Aveo"... it's the wife's car. I picked it from a field including pontiac, suzuki, and toyota, and picked it as the best value. I do not drive it all that much, because I cannot get her out of it. I nirmally drive the GMC Doolie, or the Silverado 4X4, or ride the bike... 2000 LC1500.

      We bought it new in late 2004, and have about 107K on the clock. We did the timing belt replacement around 60K (yeah, coming up on another by spring), and around 100K I replaced the plugs and wires, and knocked the bugs out of the K&N.

      I am a Marine Corps Veteran, US Navy Retired, DAV for life, and work as a freelance computer consultant.In 2008 I traveled all over the country (like 47K miles in 34 states in 10 months) on a contract performing computer upgrades of paint mixing systems. Since that contract ended, I have been job hunting, with a little work here, a little work there.

      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      I am a help desk technician in downtown LA. I finally have a job so that I can start modding my Aveo again (which will happen very soon!)

      I don't have a job yet, but I'm looking for a decent paying job so I can enroll into Shoreline Community College here in Washington. They have a really great program for automotive. Working on cars is something that I've seriously considered for the last few years since my sophomore year in high school, as well as watching my dad change his stereo system on his cars years ago, to him upping the performance on his current car in recent months.

      I currently have two jobs I'm working right now, roughly 45 to 50 hours a week.

      The first is shift manager at the Pizza Hut near the malls in my city. I'm pretty sure we are the only Pizza Hut in Canada that does not have delivery. Delivery was moved to a Delco nearby and we run strictly as takeout and dine-in. I have a love/hate relationship with that place.

      I work at Mark's Work Wearhouse, a Canadian clothing chain on the side as well. I'm basically just an employee there, helping people find items, answering questions ordering items ect. My primary area is mens denim. I love it there, laid back, good customers and when they aren't my managers don't take ****, we actually threw someone out yesterday for yelling at a staff member because we cannot get an item here for Christmas.

      I'm looking to get back into the movie theatre industry though, I worked at one for 6 years and then decided to move on and try something else and for other personal reasons. I actually have an interview for a projectionist position at one of the other theatres here in my city on Christmas day. Can't say that was the ideal situation but the owner wants to see me and that is the only time he could. Only took them 3 days to get back to me after dropping off my resume caught me off guard.

      Oh and I'm hoping to go back to school as well next year taking Network Systems Technician. I took Animation Computer Arts (3D Animation) but the industry tanked the year I graduated and haven't been able to find a job. I figured networking is something that will always be needed.

      Wow having written that I have a **** ton going on and planned in my life for the next 2 years.
