Shipping and receiving in the parts trade. I mostly work independently and mostly just deal with couriers. Part techs, and mechanics. They seem to either ignore my quirks or just don't notice. The only thing I need to do is ensure my job is done in a timely manner and my warehouse is organized. I do use the computer a lot and have the option of communication via email as well as doing automated courier calls online such as UPS and FedEx online. I schedule the pickups online electronically.


Do you find buying faulty pc's and laptops from ebay then stripping and selling as parts works out well?


No. Most people would rather spend $400 for a brand new laptop than $200 for the part and then pay someone to install it. You'd have to do it in vast quantities and get them extremely cheap to make a living doing that.

CAD technician is a pretty good one.


That is a good one, indeed. Prior to choosing to go back to school and take upper-division undergraduate accounting classes, I worked for a subcontractor as a cost estimator. Part of my responsibilities involved CAD-related stuff like drawing door and frame submittals, etc. Was probably one of my more favorite parts of that job from what I recall because of the technical nature of things and my ability to visualize things. Could be creative.


I use CAD as part of my job. Can sit for hours and just draw.
