Draw and work on cars for fun

Hey fag why won't my car start? Engine cranks but doesn't turn over. Lights and stuff work fine. It needs oil and the battery is old and needs to be replaced, but it just stopped working the other day. Tried to jump it and it didn't work. Might have made it worse actually.

It's coffee you silly.

Kek i love how wife is one of your hobbies. Pretty good cash you've been there a while or you can make that anywhere with your degree?

Woopsie, the guy works at starbucks?

He works at a body shop, dude- but anyways, it's your battery. Should probably get your alternator checked at some point as well just to be safe.

My wife is one of the things I do in my freetime...

I graduated in 2012 with a math degree, then spent 2 years kind of floating and took a QA position in 2014, then transitioned to dev. I'm a engineer 2, and there are 3, 4, 5s as well. I'm hoping to get about a 25k bump to 3 in about 2 years, then another 25k bump to 4 3-5 years after that.

>used car salesman/asst manager

that is a terrible plan, leave your job after 2 years for a bigger bump than waiting 6 to 8 years for 50k

But I just tried to jump it and it had more problems starting than before.

How does it feel that a country in middle of yurop is taking your jobs with a salary about 25 000 (before tax)? - and thats considered real good salary?

There's a lot of factors to consider- the age of the battery, if the vehicle had been used for short trips, if any accessories use power from the battery even when the vehicle isn't running, you may have a bad connection on the leads, you may have hooked the leads up wrong, you may have bad jump cables- but I can pretty much guarantee you'll need a new battery, and like I said- get your alternator checked. Getting a trickle charger wouldn't be a bad idea, either- jump tarting a car is kind of like putting on a donut if you get a flat or carrying a spare gallon of gas in your trunk- it will get the car to start most of the time, but the battery will still need to be fully charged or it can become damaged over time.

you're only half right. Yes making shitty websites is pretty much entirely outsourced. High skill labor is not.

Honestly with my experience with off shore teams, which is have a lot of, I have found they are very able to replicate. If you provide an example of an existing web page, they can build you another one like it. They however are not able to innovate.

Everything I've been reading about engine cranking but no turn over (forgot to mention that it would start the first day it happened if I held the ignition down for a second or two) is related to fuel pressure.

I hooked the leads up correctly. Good connection I don't know but it seemed like it was connected well enough. Don't know if the charge pack had enough power though.

Nah, shitty websites and basic QA gets outsourced to philippines even here. Just in my company branch we completely took over with most of infrastructure, everything from custom CMS to parael computing software for analysts. All business systems, from bottom up. Sole reason for this was, and thats what even boss says - here it was better, and way, way cheaper.

Is everywhere I look around, not just my company. In last 5 years it just exploded.

Even fucking finland is building there research centers and italians, spainish and greeks IT profesionals are coming here for work... its crazy.

And although in 10-15 years we might meet the same fate when it moves to AI or Bangladesh, it sucks to be you.

Also trips...

How do you live on that kind of money? I'm asking about quality of life, do you have to live with anyone/ what kind of car do you drive?

Only asking since I'm looking at that kind of salary soon

Trips dont lie bro. I posted in in another thread, thats true. Pig police are you 'murica police. Here we are much more cooler. Unless you are gipsy, then you get a beating.

If he's anything like the firefighters/EMTs here, he drives a jacked up diesel truck that takes >50% of his monthly income to own and operate.

That's pretty interesting, what state area you in? I'm in AZ but am interested in dope shit as a career.

I would do auto body, but either they want old guys with crazy experience, or won't pay young guys. I graduated with auto body tech degree, if I want to make 9 an hour I can do valet tf

What industry?

what's the biz, bro?

Well here its something normal prostitutes (the more high-class like) to "bail" themselves by giving some officer a bj or a quick fuck. My shift buddy send the fag to a guy probably 18 or 19 you know fresh out rookie. Told him he can fuck "her". The guy was ready to do it but in the end we told him. The fag was a class A though, even had a boobjob done. I get the guy in the car if I was in a bar and that thing came and talked to me I wouldnt turn my back. Blond hair, boobjob and a good one too, long legs. Too bad he had too much dick and not enough pussy.

Do your dash lights look like they're having a seizure when attempting to turn over the engine? If so, get a new battery.
Does anything happen at all when you try to start the car? Take the battery to a mechanic or a friend with a battery charger. Might just be flat. The alternator should keep the battery topped up but it's terrible for charging a low battery.

And jump starting a car can take a while. Just a friendly FYI.

Was on a road trip in the states and I got stopped six times to boost dead cars. All of them gave up within the first five minutes because it wouldn't start up right away. All the while attempting to turn over the engine without letting the battery charge enough.
One idiot /insisted/ on hooking up the cables on his own because "muh precious car" and didn't even ground the neutral on his car. But whatever, all six have me $20 for my troubles. Dumb people are dumb.

I sell used cars i germany - newer Volkswagen. I make around 50k €. Sell arouns 200 cars a year. How would i do in murrica?

Why do software jobs pay so much better in America than in Britain FUCK

PhD in what? Bc PhD isn't a job

$53,000 USD isn't too bad, but should be more for 200 cars a year. Should go into business yourself & sell them, you could double your salary.

Lol, faggot is playing russian roulette fucking with guys over there.

You guys have a lot of junkies there?

Probably they are better paid in US (if you are from US). Anyway thanks for the info, will apply here for a PostDoc which is even well paid

He's probably some 14yo kid that thought PhD sounds like a cool "job" to impress Sup Forums

body man here. forty years in.

I know right

Don't want to tell, anyway it is STEM stuff.
I also believe it is not job, but for me any job which is different from a manual one is not a job.

Come paint the bumper on my Gallardo... I hit a parking block at the mall

I worked in a bodyshop when i was younger but never got qualified, how did you go about it if you are? Id love to make a career out of it

Yeah thought about starting a business. I flip cars on the side - when clients want to swap their cars i buy them directly from them lol.

My problem is - i easily work around 50hours and more a week. And the company i work for is so shitty. Also this whole volkswagen diesel shit isnt helping a salesman. 25, male with a hot gf and i cant even get my dick up because this job is fucking with my head

Not really. Mostly people smoking weed or taking extazy. Its a great job to be a police officer here.

could probably make up to 60-70k w more overtime but im on no over time list

how tf do u make only 40k as a mechanical engineer, i make 43k my 3rd year at the usps

Maybe in the US i guess. I know Kia is pretty good with 7 years warranty etc (in germany at least - dont how it is in the states) but in germany you are only able to earn money when you sell Benz Audi BMW or VW. I know some audi salesmen who earn up to 100k/year but they dont have any freetime. What brand do you sell?

Kia & Hyundai have a 10 year/100k mile warranty in the US. I don't sell anymore, but used to work at my family's dealership in my teens & 20's

just because you get a degree doesnt mean you land some 6 digit job. i have aerospace engineering degree and the average starting pay for my field is 65-75k
a lot of it depends on who you work for, good companies pay good but its not like they are always hiring

Anything over $50k is good starting out... but with a degree from a good school, you should easily get over $100k in a few years
