    I am a mobile mechanic. Servicing and repairing trucks in parking lots as much as possible and only sending stuff to our shop when I can't or refuse to do it at a customers lot. They did give me a brand new truck this year

    The big annual trade show / industry circle jerk is in two weeks. We're rolling out some crazy new ideas that have been stewing in the scary room (our R&D Department) for a few years now. We're either going to be roasted over it, or lauded for doing the impossible and unthinkable - again. You should come walk the show. It'll be fun.

    I dont know any trade around here that works that way. Ive worked at non-union shops that took breaks every 2 hours. They were all fat-as-shit from so many breaks and the jobs took 4 times too long to finish,and the day actually seemed longer.Its part of the same reason I refuse to work for the Smithsonian/Govt shops.

    You speak truth! Funny all of the misconceptions we encounter with regards to dopamine, even in neuroscience communities outside the direct dopamine community.

    If your job is like I think it is, the worst part is all the stupid little rules. I worked in a couple different factory settings when I was young, and I HATED the time clock. I couldn't do it. I need some flexibility.

    My daughter has been watching a bunch of that on TV, she is a senior in college, studying nursing. She asked me if we should go into that together after she graduates. I unfortunately, don't know anything about that business, but it seems like it could be an interesting way to make a living. Like many things, I'm sure the education can be quite expensive.

    Dude, that's cool. I love it when people do something like this with their life, that can really benefit all of us over time.

    I was initially a computer programmer and then moved into computer software sales for 20 years. Got the bright idea I wanted to be an entrepreneur.

    2005 I bought a forklift company, so I manage the place and try to do the right thing. I worked less and made more money working in software for someone else, but I now have job security.
