Do you have a road-related job?
I work at a traffic engineering office, mostly doing noise surveys, air quality sometimes, design street layouts in AutoCAD and conducting traffic counts for various surveys.
No job yet...hope to be a WSDOT worker or even a WSDOT secretary by age 40.
No road-related job, but I try my best to contact the local departments of transportation to keep the highways and byways upkept. Some around my way are very poorly attended to.
Be well,
Bryant
I'm unemployed, so I'm doing the AARoads shield gallery, which hopefully will bring sweet, sweet sign replica sales revenue!
I am currently a student, but I am aiming at becoming a Civil Engineer.
I work in a supermarket. Wish I were driving....

I'll put it this way: I have never edited a Wikipedia article that was in any way related to my job.
No job right now at all, and I honestly don't see myself ending up with any sort of road-related job in the future... unless being on the road all day counts.
DBA (DataBase Administrator) here...I also program in VB and am trying to learn C#.
I am a professional traffic engineer, working for a consultant in central New Jersey. I manage all traffic elements on projects, mainly, but most notably (for this site, anyway), I oversee the design of guide signing on many projects.
I'm mostly just a student at University of Wyoming majoring in Geography with an emphasis in GIS
Over the summer I work at a 5 star hotel in central Idaho managing the boat dock- big tips and good money and I get to drive really fast and expensive boats around all day. It's a great gig.
I push shopping carts, only for a couple more weeks until I start my cashier training. Then i'll be cashiering :)
Like akotchi, I am also a professional traffic engineer. Unlike akotchi, I work for a consulting company in the San Francisco Bay Area, performing traffic analyses for new developments (i.e. residential developments, shopping centers, etc.).
No road-related job here. I'm not even a professional photographer (well, yet)...I'm a pharmacy technician.
Full time college student...
Nearly professional photographer.

You have a systems of graduating from trolleys to cahiers? I started right on the cashier with very little training (they were busy), now that was one fun first shift.
I used to be an alllrounder in a major supermarket before my current job :)
I work on wall street...guess everyone hates that now a days. always been a road geek and always will be. I prefer ro be driving in places i've never seen.

Well you have to be 18 to cashier where u work, and my 18th was a month ago today, and the next cashier training programme is in the middle of feb.
I am currently self-employed as a travelling Ren-Faire vendor. :-|
Meteorologist, though I usually tell people "computer programmer" when they ask.
Well I guess im in a road-related job - I work for a car dealership - Website Manager there.
Software Engineering - kind of ironic that I'm programming trucks too :-P
I work as a CFO for a software company. Not cutting checks for new road construction, unfortunately, but I've always loved roads.

Nothing wrong with being a meteorologist [as long as you can get the forecast right] :-P
I'm still in school...I help my mother with her sushi business now and then.
Photography.
I guess you could say I have a road-related job. I am a civil enginner with a PE. I am a project manager and engineer, working in transportation. Roadway, designer, traffic engineering, traffic studies, etc, at the Atlanta branch office of a consulting engineering firm. Even some software development. I was born the same month and in the same year that the interstate system was funded, hence the "56" in my name. I remember riding on trips as these roadways were being constructed as a child, hence my early interest in this field.
I do software development for a company that handles government payments including income taxes and some BMVs. So, I'm indirectly helping finance the roads! :-D
I'm a student.
I'm in college right now. I always wanted to be a civil engineer, until I found computers at about 10 years old. Now, I want to work in helpdesk support.

Maybe you should stick to civil engineering. It pays much better.
Agreed... and that's what I'm studying to be btw.
Still a student: 8th grade :banghead: Next year its off to high school :ded:
Can't get a job till im 14 (im 13, so :D)
You can work at 14 I.C.? Odd.
I can't work here until 15...Washington state law...grr
DTP, :nod:
Hmm... most places here don't hire until you're 16, though I believe you can work at 15 with a work permit.

Really? How much better?
I also did a GIS internship last summer. I was digitizing buildings in ArcMap.

Now your actual pay would depend on a lot of things including location.
But, Civil Engineers, I think, start around $40-75K and can go into six figures (after 20 or 30 years experience.) Help desk support people will usually start at $20-30K and maybe go up to $50K.
Also, most help desk support people do not have or need 4-year college degrees.
I'm in college, but a series of bureaucratic errors and such resulting from me trying to transfer from Missouri State to some college in Oklahoma have resulted in me taking a year off from that.
My boss walked out yesterday, so I got an instant promotion. I'm an assistant manager of a restaurant now. Well...that will at least look better on a resume than a lot of things...
I work at a place in Nova Scotia called AUTOPORT.Basically its a port, where new cars arrive by ship from Europe,we ship cars across Canada on rail.There is also a paint and body dept and a service dept there.I can be doing anything ranging from driving cars out in the yard, sometimes driving ship shuttle when the ships are being offloaded.Mainly, i work in the service dept,doing anything from Wrapping cars(installing that white protection you sometimes seen on new cars)to doing quality checks on various makes.I spent a few years in the paint shop polishing cars after they were painted also.Will be 20 years for me in Aug.
