It's a massive industry, I believe transport and logistics employ more people than any other.
What scares me is that we are so dependant on our (NA wide) consumer economy. How long can we sustain buying more than we produce? When the money runs out, the trucks will stop rolling...and so will everything else.

I'm an MECP certified Mobile Electronics Installer. I don't have many pics of my work here at a home besides the nightmares I sometimes get, but here are a couple.
06' BMW 325i : Converted to double din and relocated the heater controls and heated seat switches.
Flush mount USB & Aux in a Maxima
GPS on a Vespa
Acura RL completely custom mounting solution.
This nightmare remote start install came to me from another shop
This is one of my remote start installs. The factory harness' have blue dots mine have the red dots.

I'm a jeweler, I have been been doing this line of work for my family for the last 28 years.
This time of year we always get requests for elk tooth jewelery, I made one for a customer a few weeks ago and he liked it so he decided he needed 3 more for his sons.
Here are a few of the steps in making them, Of course I needed to roll out the metal for the bezel and top, but its hard to take a pic while doing that
and finally!
We do quite a few throughout the year, but it really pics up around hunting season and Christmas.
This took me about 3 hours to make all of them, But that also included rolling out and finish work.
Thanks for looking

I have a pretty awesome office! In my opinion at least 
@ sinkhole...nice installs although I've never been trained I have been into car electronics since the mid 90's! I was pretty heavy into SPL my daily driver Rodeo would hit over 146 db on a regular basis! I can no longer drive because of vision issues but I still enjoy the occasional head unit install to full systems!
@Phillip Reed ... looks like a horrible office to me We often use our local plane services to get to the remote villages on Island, and I can tell you there hasn't been a flight I haven't enjoyed. Float planes are still my favorite though!

This was one of my favorite over flights on a grounded vessel back in 2011. Our pilot had some major cohones.... the rotor blades were about 6 ft from the side of the cliff! I'm gonna miss this place and will be sad to leave Kodiak, I've had some great memories and pretty exciting cases here!
Damn beautiful country up there AK.
I'd miss it too...
I'd miss it too...
Well if all goes as planned, I should be seeing order up to Anchorage pretty soon. At this point I'll take anything in AK, and will be happy with that... but Kodiak is pretty unique in it's own way. The only place I can think of where I can go for a walk on the beach or fishin' for salmon, and be at the summit of a 4000Ft mountain in the afternoon looking at mountain goats.
Anyways, I'm getting all nostalgic already... it'll be fun where ever they send me, as long as I've got the family with me it doesn't really matter

If you are stationed somewhere where you love it, fight tooth and nail to stay there, even if you move to another location that is equivalent to moving from CA to GA...I tip my hat to you AK...
Well, you'd think with current budget constraints they'd (I say they, and really it's just one Warrent Officer in VA that cuts orders for my rating) opt to send me to the least expensive place... which just happens to be 300 miles north and at the top of my choices
