currently in school but in my off time I work with a small company
pretty much my boss, his wife and 2 other guys.
We do everything from access control to alarm systems, to CCTV, and networking
anything technical we can do (for the most part)
its a pretty interestin gjob if you like that sorta thing, can be really creative sometimes, and others is kinda repetitive like doing rough ins for new houses etc

I work for an executive flight management company/ Fixed base operator. I handle private and executive jets... I bring them in and out of the hangar, prepare them for flight like refuelling, ground power ect ect along with a million other things corrsponding with arrivals/ departures. Basically do everything behind the scenes that the owner doesnt see.
I basically create a feeling of hopping in the airplane and going whenever he/ she needs. kinda like you getting a valet service with your car every day without worring about maintnence ect... just hop in and go. except an 50 million dollar Global Express needs allot more attention to the details than a car... I.E a full time job for me and the other 10 guys here
Its an awsome job if you love aviation, it can be very exciting, every day is different, every day is a new learning experience. I meet lots of celebritys and many many enormously wealthy people that have been everywhere done everything with endless storys to tell. We also have lots of downtime like a fireman... TV, internet, read books ect...
I picked it because its the next best thing to my next stage in life, being a commercial pilot...gotta pay for my flight time/ lessons somehow. And the contacts and bridges are endless.

Hydro-excavation. Wanted to get into the trades one way or another, and this was the best thing I was able to get in on at the time. A family friend hooked me up, and I love working for this company. Bosses are all chill people, and the crews are all good.
Get to be around tonnes of construction, work with some huge companies, and meet a lot of important foreman and workers along the way.
