Hi Ja-moo, typical emblem costs about $30K to tool up, but we get $0.3 to $0.6 on average per emblem. Nothing cheap about that!

-Started mowing lawns at age 10. Dad let me use his mower the first summer--I managed to get 11 accounts by age 11, and was pulling in nearly 200 bucks a week. He shut that down, drove me around to garbage pick a mower and told me to get her running or pay him for using his! Lots of lessons learned at such a young age. I owe my dad so much and know my love of tinkering came from him and that experience alone. -worked as a parts runner for NAPA at age 16. -continued to mow lawns all along until present day actually...I still hold 8 regular mowing jobs!! Great parts funding there... -high end mountain bike shop mechanic -pizza hut delivery -went to CSU for a BSME -got married to my pizza hut sweet heart  -co-oped at a gas fired burner manufacturer as a process engineer -first salaried engineering job was in product development and applications engineer lab tech for Osborn Manufacturing (Brush manufacturer) -consultant engineer in mechanical, electrical, and section 8 boiler inspection work for a loss prevention insurance company FM Global -applications & technical sales engineer at an instrumentation company Meriam Instrument -project manager for an engineering company Clarke Reliance -at present project manager of the nuclear group at AT&F, supplying heavy wall components for nuclear power plants. odds & ends, I like to fabricate and do some light machining in my shop. |
