I ask money from my parents. Woot!

I'm still studying so I am totally dependent from my parents. But I sometimes do tutorials to friends.

I'm in college and dependent on my parents also. I have never had a job or earned a dollar in my life.

Currently I am a transporter for a rental car company, I have my associates degree in Automotive (I absolutely LOVE working on cars). Once my husband and I move back to Kentucky (when he's out of the military) I will probably get my old job back where I designed cable networking through a company that worked for Time Warner and Comcast, I enjoyed doing what I did there because 1) I felt so smart when I would complete a project and it would come out great, especially if it was a new area that had to be completely built from scratch and 2) my job wasn't really rushed, I mean we weren't allowed to talk all that much, and we did have deadlines of 2-3 day turn-arounds, but I would get my projects done within the same day I got them typically. To better explain what I did would be to put it like this and HOPE that it's understandable :) Lets say you move into a new house in the country and you'd like cable t.v. installed, so the cable t.v. company contacts the company I work for and lets them know what they need; next, I am given the job of routing cable from the previous cable pole closest to the location of your new house, and routing it all the way until you're house efficiently (making sure you won't lose any signal no matter how far away you are). After that is completed, I send it to the cable company/coordinator and they approve or disapprove it (if they disapprove they typically tell us what they want fixed because sometimes certain routes aren't possible), and then the cable company sends out their people to put up the cable poles or underground cable route and place it according to my design to get it to your house... and then you have cable :)
