Nothing currently, trying to get a mechanical engineering degree is tough enough as it is for me without a job. I will try to get one this summer though.

I have not currently. I will start looking for internships though, as I have heard that they help greatly.

Ive been looking for a job that involves driving, like a valet or a porter. Where I live here in the suburbs of Detroit there are multiple dealerships on every main road :lol:

Really Im just getting bored at my current job and want to look for something different.

Did you like the valet job? Did you make good tips?

I'm a production manager for an electrical control panel shop. We build systems that automate industrial machinery of all flavors, but our specialty is ride control for water parks. Particularly, we run all the electronics associated with this badass new category of waterslide known as a water-coaster. It's like any other raft-in-a-tube ride, except we use giant linear induction motors to fling you around corners and up hills.
