Ok I'm doing thid for 2 jobs!
My last job, Paltronics inc. We did all the progressive equipment, t.v.'s, roulette displays, bonusing games, and pretty much all the other little chit for casinoes!
Great job for the most part. I was considered a network engineer for the company, but my true title was midwest and western service tech. I traveled everywhere, French Lick, Indiana, Denver, Las vegas, California, mississippi, Iowa, Michigan, Kentucky, and assorted other places. Job was cool as hell for the most part. I spent almost 4 months in Vegas, would fly in monday morning and fly out friday night so I could see my family and friends on the weekend most of the time.
But Every thing has it's down sides. A lot of the time if I was going to be there for a month on a job they would not send me home over the weekend. I would stay in Vegas with no friends or family of any type. I wouldn't go out on the weekends cause I was on call 24/7 which I had to carry around that stupid azz blackberry, I was getting paid $31k after taxes with full benefits paid buy the company, the downside to that is another service tech there was making $41k a year after taxes and doing half the work as me! That and when I was in town the office was in Crystal Lake. For me thats a 2 hour drive to work and a 2 1/2 hour drive home! To hell with that job!
Now I drive a forklift around for Madison warehouses! Haven't had a better job since I worked at the bowling alley! I get paid a decent salary to drive really fast and break stuff! That and I get to have fun ALL night! Come on what other job would let you drive around all night shooting people with airsoft guns!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel that if you are unhappy at with what you do, quit! Or shut up and take it! There are thousands of better jobs out there! You just have to go out and get it!!!!!!!!
