Been doing automatics since..........1985 ?
I have been the owner of my transmission/exhaust shop for the past eight years.

Well educated !? - maybe
But that doesn't mean making a lot of money (at least here in germany) ...

In my school and education time I have also a lot of jobs :
- car washer
- filling station attendant
- filling station cashier

And later bridgeover between 2 jobs :
- warehouseman at a metall stock
- laboratory assistant at a papermill

But now I have found my job (only when I emigrate I search a new job )

Don't want to raise up any bad feelings, but what's been the problem with the mechanic's license? They were ready to give me ASE cert just for writing stuff, and I know you know a huge amount more than I do.

I own a pet boarding faility called "Pet Pleasers".  I kept the name that the previous owner had as the business was already established.  Our Corporation name is Bow Wow 'n Meow, Ltd.  I care for pets while their owners are on vacation or unable to do so themselves.  I can hold 70+ dogs and a dozen or so cats at a time.  Summer is the busiest for us, along with Holidays and school recess.  It is a very demanding job, but i wouldn't change what I do for anything!
