if you happen to be in Denver in the next month and a half, or Park City sometime in the next half year, I will pay you to help me rewire my bike.

My job is the best. I hang out with a bunch of actors and show rich drunk people where to sit. I work for a shakespeare company that performs their plays at this killer location. I should be going to work actually.

I start work at 4 :P

fuck yeah. I just want to rip out the entire harness and go to a super basic headlight-taillight-alternator-kill switch dry cell battery setup. I just have never messed with electrical before aside from replacing a stator, and know I'd screw something up.

Whats the point of learning shit on your own?

nobody will hire you unless you have a degree, so learn at school or don't learn at all.

Where in the UK do you leave a tip? And that is the worst rule I have ever heard. In no way does a boss deserve tips. I hope they pay you well.

I'm a massage therapist but I can't find work in the town that I'm living in currently.. so I am working as a slot attendant at a casino.

but ideally i'd be teaching skiing/snowboarding and massaging.

Plenty of room to grow in the company if I choose a field and go with it. It sucks I only make $11 an hour and its as if I am expected to know 110$ an hour worth of shit.

you've got to get all of your certifications first and have a lot of dive time on your logs. you also have to have all of the gear to get the jobs done. we run our own blackwater dive business doing everything from fixing drain pipes in farming ponds, fixing props on yachts that are too big to pull out of the river, raising sunken boats, etc. since there is no police/fire dive team in the area, and since we are certified and experienced in that area, we basically get contracted through all of the cities/towns in the area to go in and pull bodies, cars, etc. out when they go in. pays damn well.

I would prefer to work in areas where there is more visibility.

On top of that if I were working under a huge boat repairing something I would be just a little bit nervous knowing there is a gigantic boat above me and no visibility.

well, of course the ideal scenario is 100 ft. of visibility. but that's why we get paid....because most people can't do it.
