How Do You Earn Money?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Bumping, because I just started a new job with Collins Areospace, which is now a subsidiary of Raytheon.

I utilize a multiplicity of Collins products; if you could work on improving their customer service hotlines, I would be most appreciative. :pray: :pray:

I’ve been working as a scientist for engineering firms for the past few years and can confirm that engineers in general are a “fascinating bunch” :lol: they’re either egotistical cretins or the nicest people you’ll ever meet, there’s no in-between. Throw a little bit of social awkwardness in for good measure and you have some weird company parties.

I should’ve been a mailman.

i work in corporate communications for a development finance institution in the hague, it's quite a corporate setting which isn't what i expected i'd get into after university, but it's been almost 3 years so far and it's alright.

Looking back on this, I could say a lot more. I also get the opportunity to watch other departments like garden center and electronics. I also fix displays, push carts, and run merchandise.
