First off I want to say I have a lot of respect for the military guys/gals here.

I work as an Assistant Manager for Wal*Mart. For what little I have to do and as much as I make I guess it's not a bad gig.

i'm a technician for konica minolta, basically the same as canon or xerox, but they only do copy machines, printers, scanners. i do a lot of network stuff as well for the same products and customers' workstations.

basically i drive around all day doing anywhere from 4-8 calls per day around different parts of town. they give us a nextel and an ibm laptop with sprint cards, and pay us mileage. so basically my tc = my office. i dont have to report in to an office everyday, i just work from home in a way. its a pretty cool job, something new to troubleshoot everyday. and for training they send you to CT, chicago, cali, georgia or texas and pay your plane ticket, hotel, free food, everything. i've been to 5 classes already in the 1.5yrs ive worked for them and going to my 6th this summer. each class covers a different line of machines, my career path is color/network integrator.

Chic-fil-a. Fast food, but its making my payments while i'm still in school. Summer, I will be going to either a call center for DirectTV, or to a local automotive repair shop. If those don't work out, Wal-Mart baby!

I'm not sure what that is bro, I handle more of the fortune 500 companies that need to budget in Kiosk/OEM/Point of Sale Hardware. I'm pretty tech savvy though having to know every single thing about the **** we handle

Virtual Fitness Center, every IBM employee is allowed to use it. If you use it to log your fitness activities for a certain amount of time you get a $200 rebate in the last paycheck of the year.
