Quite whining about it and go do it then. It is what you want to do, so you need to put on hold whatever it is you do and go do it.

Might as well, it is not as if there is anything better to do at allmost 0500.

1. Peacekeeper on deployment
2. Soldier on deployment
3. Computer hardware technician.

Am qualified to do all three and that is the order in which i have applied to jobs, though the priority between te first two might change after one tour, then change again after another.

wrong...

go out to your local airport, find the "FBO" and get work as a "line boy" - you will be around planes all day, its not easy work, but if they offer aircraft rental you would probably get an employee discount... many airline captains and First Officers i know started their careers right there on the business end of a fuel hose.

if i had to choose another job... i guess it would be Bar tender at a classy strip joint.

This one takes some explainign but its worth it.


In the Mall of the Americans in Minnesota they have the great LEGO store which is a huge three story wonderland of statues of dinosaurs and airplanes and space ships and whatever else all made of legos.

These creations reach high up to the ceiling, while below they have these huge tables layed out with tons and tons of random lego blocks for kids to palay with while mom has a snack in the food court.

Anyhow they have these employess hired to sit at the tables and play legos all day long with these kids while mom rests.

Thats my dream job..... I dont care if its minimum wage or not.

Too bad I dont live up there.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a navy fighter pilot, but was cursed with the family's bad eyesight in 4th grade.

Now I'd settle for Playboy centerfold photographer.....

Skydiving instructor

What could be better than throwing terrified tourists out of a small plane at 15,000 ft? Getting to jump out of the plane with them!

Anything that pays more than I get now and isn't stressful or dangerous.
