Automation Engineer/Systems engineer etc whatever you'd like to call it.
27 years old.

Live and work in Sweden.

Say like this, if I would live in the US I'd make more than double what I do now. Engineers are grossly underpaid here unfortunately. It's still pretty decent pay, but doesn't feel like anywhere close to what they get in the US.

It amazes me some of the jobs people have/had at such a young age, thats all. Unless operations manager is a fancy way to describe another position. That means you were 19-20 running operations for a company, which is impressive af, but also leads me to the question of HTF do you get a position like that at that age? Operation managers I know here make 60-80k a year, I couldn't imagine making that at 19 lol.

Honestly me being younger has always benefited me. At 27 I was an Area Operations Manager for an oil company.

The reason they gave me the position was because I was young and they wanted to “ mold me” their way. Instead of someone who was 20 years set in their ways.

It usually backfires though.. as they grow someone and other companies take note of the 2 years later 29 year old who ran an area.. and then they want him

Born in AZ, grew up some in Illinois.

I invest in businesses...right now I own a company that prints on tape and velcro. If your company ships or buys printed tape I'll hook you up.

I also own a second company that trains athletes for a certain sport.

Im interested in some tape prices. I got through a tone, and will be going through even more once i get my other side project launched

I just PM'd you my email. Send me over the logos and things you want printed on your tape in a vector file, the type of tape you need, the weight of the tape (if you know it), any PMS numbers for the colors you need, and your usage projections and I'll get back to you with what I can do for you.

From my experience, my age has always hurt me.

I.e. i was working at a Ford Dealer at 18 at parts counter, and later service. Both the parts and service managers told me ‘i don’t need to make a lot because I’m young’ so i would get paid less than the 40 year old guys that would miss a day a week.

Always how it’s been. **** me for being an atypical young person, eh?

I just stopped telling people my age. And when they meet me they’re usually surprised how young i am.

Near Sparks, NV in the hills. I am the safety manager for a small transportation company. Decent salary of $75K for only 50 hours a week.

I find out who boo boo’d, figure out who was at fault, and assist our insurance company with claims. I get to fire bozos that can’t drive our trucks properly. We have everything from fleet pickups, to trucks with utility bodies, dump trucks w/ snow plows to big rigs with flatbeds.
