A job you enjoy?
If the salary really didn't matter, what job would you choose for a career?
Something you'd really enjoy doing 5 days a week. |

If salary didn't matter, I'd still do what I do... I'd just do it a little slower.
 BTW, I'm a self-employed residential building contractor.

I'd gladly go back to the railroad. Being an engineer was my dream throughout childhood, and I actually got to do it for about a year.
Nothing like 13,500 horsepower at your fingertips, fighting a bucking, heaving 7,000 ton train down a mountain. Britt

I kind of like this unemployment gig right now. Pay isn't all that bad.

Hmmm, wiring tube amplifiers on rainy days, rebuilding TH400s with R&R on warm dry days, then when evening comes, discussing the Gospel in bars, with beef&beer.

Seriously though, as a mechanical engineer and a former combat engineer, I'd like a job designing weapons of some sort.
That, or Jessica Alba's pool boy would be fine by me. But she'd probably have to release the restraining order first.

I wouldn't mind doing what I do now- telephone repairman. Always moving around, no real stress, hardly ever see the boss and I'm always working with my hands.

I really think my most happy times and challenging were back when I ran my Classic car repair buisness. It was word of mouth advertisiting. I also remember how proud my mentor was when I completed someone's project and got it running. I built mainly Pontiac's and lots of GTO's. I fixed them all. Over that time I did several other brands. My fortie into Buicks was fun. I owned 3 Grand Sports. I built 2 of them and both were really fun. The GS 350 is still my Favorite. With the swaybars and new bushings I could go around corners like a slot car. I built a Ford Cobrajet 428 car. It was the most challenging of them all. It took days to install the engine and the headers.
If I could go back to doing that and the thrill of hunting down the parts and building the cars. I would in a heartbeat. Maybe if I win the lottery I'll do it again. All I need is a pole barn, concret floor and tools!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
