BDW Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I support software for an engineering company. Basically the company I work for has design software for wood and steel trusses, wall panels and other engineered wood products.I currently cover all customers in MI, OH, some in IN, and PA. I go onsite for training and troubleshooting our software along with customizing reports and other output.What sucks is I am somewhat considered IT, but not enough to get into a real IT position. I also know a bit of coding and report writing but not enough to be a programmer. At this point I don't think I am going to be able to find a job making what I do now.

Fonzie Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I feel 'ya BDW. Left the railroad last fall after 3 1/2 year stint puttin' my wife through school while she finished up her BA & MA. I've got 8 years of banking, investment, & lending experience before I hit the rail. I'm just lookin' for somethin' with regular weekday hours now, so I don't miss any more of my kids' activities.....and you'd think I was askin' for the Hope Diamond.Live in a town of about 40,000, & unless I wanna be a truck driver, RN or bartender.......There aint much in our want ads. Just stayin' home now takin' care of our 2 year old......and loooookinGood luck.....Hope everything works out for you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2insanezx10r Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Good luck to ya BDW. It'll get better for ya. Would like to have that 600 though. HA HA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDW Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Things are looking up again! As I stated before, they offered me another position that would require me to move to FL. Using my phenomenal negotiating skills, I convinced them to let move back to St. Louis, MO to where all my family and friends are. (I should be a salesman) I really hate to leave the house that my wife and I have right now, because it’s exactly what we wanted in a house. I think in the long run though, it will be much better to be around family when we decide to have children. I’m not quite sure when I want to move yet, so I hope to find some time to meet up with more of you to ride before I go. Hands off the bike, she isn't going anywhere!
