Country:  | What do you do for a living?
Hey all
I don't know if this has already been done but just to find out a bit more about you guys I thought I would create a thread about what we do for a living. I work part time at Hungry Jacks (Australian version of Burer King) and during the week I am a school based apprentice boilermaker. I am a 1st year apprentice.
So, what do you do for a living?

Chruch Janitor
Personal assistant for a elderly couple (Shopping cleaning and anything else that needs done)
That's three part time jobs that pays the same as one full time and gives me my weekends and flexible time to do what I need to during the week.

Country:  | Well I am an A&P aircraft mechanic who is currently not working as an A&P mechanic because it is ****ing hard to get a job here in Europe. Hopefully one of the litterally hundreds of resumes I sent out to litterally hundreds of companies here in Europe will pick me up in the next few weeks.
If anyone has any friends inside some of these companies here in Europe please let me know. I would be greatful.
Currently while I wait to get hired working on aircraft I work in a warehouse at the military airfield that I worked at when I was in the Army.

Country: | Yes, well, RFLP is a little passe, as SNP's are more high throughput. We still use Caps markers for research purposes, some people call them RFLP as well. Not sure if you mean that?
