TROD23 Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 I started my career shortly after high school in the United States Air Force. There I was a Senior Airman in the Civil Engineering Squadron where I did AutoCAD drafting, land surveying, and construction management. After almost five years and serving at F.E. Warren in Wyoming, Osan Air Base in South Korea, and Beale Air Force Base in Northern California, I discharged from the Air Force in order to start college. After the Air Force, I became a weekend warrior for the National Guard in Northern California as a heavy diesel mechanic where I met my wonderful husband. I discharged the National Guard in August of 2001. One month before September 11th. My Husband on the other hand was called up to guard the San Francisco airport. Now I am the IT / EFT manager at a credit union. I am thinking about going into the Air National Guard so I can payoff my student loans.
Lexls Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 I'm 24 and self-employed. I graduated from UW-Madison in 2002 with a degree in economics. I never really wanted to be an economist and never really liked being told what to do, so after thinking about starting my own business for a while I decided to do it. Mid 2003 I started my digital imaging business, Carl Pearson Imaging, so technically I'm a digital imaging professional. I do everything though, so I could give myself just about any title...customer service rep, salesman, CEO, shipping & receiving man, janitor..haha, technician, computer specialist, web designer.....you get my point. What I primarilily offer and do is high resolution film scanning. You can learn more about what I do on my website. I really enjoy being self-employed and am doing pretty well for only being in business for a little over a year. I work from home and must say it's wonderful. My commute is only 2 minutes, I can work in my pajamas, and I can listen to music all day. That brings me to my next sort of business venture, music. I am also a musician. I have been involved in music for most of my life. I play bass for an artist by the name of Mr. Biggins. We started playing music together in high school and currently have recorded 2 albums. You can listen to samples from those on the Biggins website which I just got up and running again a few days ago. Also, if you want to see pictures of me there are tons to see ;). The third thing I "do" is Lexls.com. Many of you already know about that. I am currently trying to think of how I could turn that into a business. If you're wondering how much I work, the answer is nearly all the time. amf1932, I would be interested to hear more about what you used to do. You should shoot me a PM or email. dcfish, I'm in Miniapp too. You and any other fellow Minnesotans should join our Minnesota Lexus Club (MNLC). Right now we've got about 6 members, including myself. We meet at Lake Calhoun, but probably won't meet again until after winter.

Sadistic Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 Self Employed myself. This is my 3rd business that I've done, the first and second were basically to test the water, and more of a personal interest thing, (an online parts business, and a record label/distro ((VERY VERY Small)) but now I own Boosted Development in southern Wisconsin. I've been doing "Import Performance" since around '95-'96 and that's about it since I started. I've moved around a bit, but I always seem to find my way back home. Much nicer here, IMO. Anyways, we're a small shop for now, 5,000 sq ft. It's our first Winter as being a full service/retail place (as well as my first experience). I started out with a 300ZX TT moved to an Eclipse which was completely built by the end, got into another 300ZX TT, and now to my SC300, which (if money and time allow) will be TT'd by spring. Not really much to say.. I'm also a "practicing Chef, and Semi-active Musician. I've been playing Poker for about 4 years now, and that's about all that consumes my time.

glr Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 CPA and an Internal Audit Group Manager of a midwest bank. Micro beer money comes from a side job in personal tax preparation. I look forward to the day we can all file our tax return on the back of a post card. I’d be out of the tax business but a person shouldn’t need a beer drinking CPA to prepare their return in the first place. Car history includes a snazzy Chevy Chevette, a veritible chick magnet at Ohio Northern Univ, followed briefly by a Dodge Dart, then a favorite…a 67 Tempest, then a wonderfully reliable 94 Camry on which I put on 220K over 10 years and now an ES330…I am spoiled forever!
