Well first and foremost, Thanks to everyone who has responded and who has yet to respond. It is nice to know where to turn in order to ask a question about a specific area. Some of you guys have some serious titles! Well I just hopes this helps everyone out with future problems and it wasn't intended to show who makes more money than everyone else. Rather to make us closer as a group and to help us stick together. Would be nice if we could make this a permanent post tho...

22, been doing web and graphics design for many years, and I am also a certified technician. Everything I do ranges from building websites, to setting up networks, to running servers, to fixing computers, to upgrading computers, to wholesale parts distribution. Though I can't fly off to europe and retire yet, it does pay the bills and I've always enjoyed doing it. Especially since a lot of it involves my other passions such as aviation and electronic music.

27 single , no kids, Full time Dope dealer . No really. I am doing nothing but side jobs right now till next month when I go off back to school. I am going to mechanic's school and taking the Mercedes portion. This week I started working for my buddy that works on and builds dirt track cars. I have built some 6 point cages a camaro and a monte carlo this week. I wish I could do this full time and make good money at it. Maybe one day. Before all this I was a Broker for a couple of trucking companies

Ive been on the page for over a year its nice to see that everyone here is more then just a screen name. Ya I dont make that much money doing what Im doing, but I have fun doing it and Im doing the right thing. Once I graduate I will be making good money and still having fun doing it. I have to admit Ive had a good life so far. and if everything goes to acording to plan its only going to get beter.
