The Tomcat was bullet-proof - Grumman "Iron Works" makes a great jet - so I'm assuming you're referring to the Mad Dog. Now when it comes to airliners, Boeing builds airplanes, but McDonnell-Douglas builds character

For the past 14 years I've been a Studio Engineer / Audio Producer. Work for a group of 7 radio stations here in Dubai. 3 of them English language.

I'm the guy that makes all those jingles, sation idents, sweepers, promos and annoying radio commercials. I'm also an international voice over artist.

Previous to that I was a radio presenter for about 4 years...(then I figured out that the real money in radio is behind the scenes )

Previous to that I was an night club dj for about 8 years.

Yes, I was referring to the MD-88. At least liquor sales sky rocket in Douglas planes...

Hello Guys,

I'm aiming for either automotive engineering next year, or something in product design. So far I've only interviewed with Apple for iPod development and Continental AG for auto-related things.

I've applied to GM, Ford, Tesla, Fisker, Toyota, Nissan, Ferrari, Lamborghini, VW, Roush, and a couple other companies. I'm putting together a design portfolio as we speak that I'll be using to apply to the product design firms.

Got any openings? Haha

..but seriously [&:]

What kind of jobs have you been interviewing for?

Senior in college, mechanical engineering major. Hopefully I'll have something to contribute to this thread in a few months.
