i work in production at Gallo Glass Co. (yes the same thing as gallo winery and gallo family wines just not having anything to do with alcohol, just the making of the bottles and cases....lol) while attending school to get a degree in administration of justice to someday soon become a police officer. dont spend too much on rc stuff unless i work some overtime and have my bills paid for the month so i try my hardest not to break anything when i run it (by the way i run an HPI Hellfire)

I am a tech support supervisor for a nation wide fire/burglar alarm company in their corporate office. It pays very well for just sitting most of the day, and answering very stupid questions. If it wasn't for dumb people I wouldn't have a job!

I go to school full time and work as a lunch lady in the dorms for 20-30 hours a week. I have a lot of hobbies so only a portion of my checks get to go to my 2 RCs, that is after the bills are paid.[:'(]

RE: How do you support your habit?
Was first into RC back in the early/mid 80's & am recently back into it! I am a business owner, buy & sell almost anything - most sales online. Was a graphic designer/photographer for many years prior but got sick & tired of working for someone... Now I work at home, make money, & can make my own schedule which makes my partner/girlfriend & I very happy! More time to PLAY! (and she lets me buy toys!)

RE: How do you support your habit?
I collect disability. I suffered from "stress" while working for the government so I sued and now I collect a fat retirement for doing nothing. Life is good. I also get payed for protesting at events and handing out material for the green party, communist party, and the democratic party. The events pay well for me to cause a scene (burning the flag, spitting at soildiers and calling them murderes, chaining myself to others forming a circle, etc.) and they are fun. I like to think the work I do matters, that it makes a differance in changing young minds. I found that education and hard work will make you stressed and unhappy. The key to happiness is to get an government union job and do as little work as possible just enough to keep your job. Or do as I and fiegn injury or discrimation and sue em Thats cool that the rest of you guys work, I appretiate the taxes and products you guys provide for me. People with jobs are the real heros. Thank you and keep up the good work[8D]

Im a full time student at the University of Oregon. I support my habit by tax returns and the extra money i have from my student loans. Cant wait for the summer when I will actually have some money to spend on my trucks.

I'm a production technician at Richardson Electronics. I put together a lot of different high power electronic stuff. I've worked on what I consider to some of the biggest ESCs in the world. Huge units with big, copper heatsinks. A complete unit weights in at about 1,000 lbs.
