Mechanical Engineer (Btech with honours). Sound Engineer (diploma). Structural Engineer (T6). Schedule 26 Red seal boiler maker (trade tested). Own an engineering firm. Professional hunter. Own a combat shooting club. Own a darts club (non profit). ...And just about anything else that puts cash in my pocket... Sex I do for free..
Yes, I studied my young life away...

Engineer that owns my own engineering firm would've sufficed. I didn't ask for your cv dude lol. Maybe if you tone down you will find some action.
I can almost imagine you meeting somebody for coffee and you would spend 3hrs answering their question: "how are you doing today?"
That was the short version dude... I do a lot more than that so I am happy to give you the full u unsummarised version if you prefer... Ask SDMR, you do not want to hear me brag, it is a long read dude! lol. Stamina at 36 please may you explain to a lay person like myself ( M.E.N.S.A registered at age 13 ) how you managed to fit all that studying into so little years. The mechanical and sound engineering courses have never and will never be achievable by any human being with a mere mortal body and an I.Q of less than 191. They would have to have been gotten simultaneously otherwise your whole brag falls apart right there. As the structural diploma as well as any boilermaking studies you would have had to have done would've taken at least 6 to 8 years, added to 2x 4 year full time varsity courses. 16 years of study added to time to do the olifantsfontein 2 year trade test as well as a blasting certificate aka red seal of 2 years. Hell man you started varsity at age 15 and still had time to get married and have kids. Broer even William H. Gates the 3rd had to drop out of harvard to start his company and family.
Seems I am being called out... You will notice that my only degree is my Btech in Mechanical Engineering. That was my only full time study. The others are diploma's, through correspondence courses which were done at my leisure while working. I did start my studies at 16 (not 15) and I am proud of an I.Q of 170, close to your figure... I was in a technical school, where one is tested in Std 8 and should you qualify, you head off to technical college, where you can have your N3 within a year, you then qualify to start T1 at Tech or continue to N6 at the existing level. Should you choose to continue then you can start at T4 at Tech if you hold an N6... I completed N3 and headed off to Wits Tech for a year. My Btech was done at Rau and I completed it in 4 years. My company was already open by this time btw...
Boiler making was not studied, I already owned my business (partnership at the time) while studying so I guess you have not heard of getting trade tested while performing that specific work similar to apprenticeship? I have also just registered with S.A.C.A.P, without studying. Since I have been draughting and designing for many years, I qualified for an amnesty where I get a registration approved based on my experience and knowledge as a mechanical and an architectural technologist. From there it works on a points basis where CDP points awarded as my experience grows and according to workshops and seminars I attend.
40 Category 1 CDP points equals a diploma, 60 Category 1 CDP points equals a degree. You get from 1 to 11 points depending on the seminar or event you attend. You get points for drawings used by a client under mentorship, you get points for duties performed within your job or business, etc... I had my Btech by age 22. My first child was born when I was 24.. My business opened in 1994. I had my other two diploma's by 30, they were both 1 year correspondence courses, one through intec and one through Ekhuruleni Artisans Training College. My N3 was through Germiston Tech. I started at wits Tech with mechanical engineering and went to R.A.U. After a year and a T2. I did my boiler makers trade test by age 33... Is it really so hard to believe that someone has worked hard in their life??
You are in a shell if you believe that degrees and diploma's can only be gained through physically going to an institution daily like a school... Do some research with NQA.
This explanation was not for you, but everyone else that are trying to make me look like a fool to... How about we hear what you do???
And who said I was ever married?

Strong words from you there . . . . . and then you go and complete it by adding the "chosen few" part?
Have none of you "complainers" noticed, that it is more often than not the regular contributors who get offended by comments like you made above? They are the ones who then decide to back off for a while and then the not so regular contributors (ie: complainers) go and post the typical "why is the forum so quiet these days?"
Every one is welcome here, only thing is, not very many are prepared to accept the fact that different people have different opinions.
Oh frigg . . . now I'm joining in the "feeding" of the moaners.

The best is to keep a persons comments to themselves. Lets rather be the MooPoo gang again.

Yes - stop it! Naughty SDMR! Spankings for all the naughty boys at 5pm in my office.
If you're sorry you don't get a spanking by that criteria, please submit your spanking application to be included in the fun...
And to get us back on track I will list my other minor and part time jobs: (See Stamina is not the only one!)
(Manager - I manage 3 departments in the support divisions at a large educational institution - as mentioned before)
(Life, sex and relationship coach - as mentioned before)
I'm an artist (I sell paintings in a gallery quite often!)
I'm a graphic designer (18 years of experience in quite diverse range of fields from academic publication, scientific research, education, all the way to generic publishing design and commercial advertising)
I'm a publishing consultant in the production aspects.
I'm a set designer for stage productions smile - I have even built the sets myself... but not recently smile
I'm an editor (I edit documents from Academic theses through to erotic literature)
I'm a brand manager, I train in this field too.
I manage a team that quality checks, grades and packs chickens and pork for resale
I manage the marketing and sales aspects of that meat business
I manage and maintain the finances of that meat business (I have NOTHING to do with the production! YAY!)
I am an events manager (ad hoc events jobs, weddings, conferences, seminars, cocktail parties, book launches etc.), I also put together my own coaching and wellness retreats
I am style consultant (how to dress for your complexion and shape)
I am a sex & life skills educator in a local high school, running a program I designed and developed (hopefully adding two more schools to my program this year!)
I co-own and am in development on a social service site (similar to this framework here, we are still in development - I am responsible for content, design, user interface, brand and policies)
I'm a facilitator/presentor (I am engaged by other people/organisations/projects who have developed programs, to present their programs for them)
I'm a web/content designer (for non-profit organisations who cannot afford high end websites)
I am a Union recruitment specialist.
I am a pastoral counselor
So anyone else?
Oh yes... I'm a farmer's wife... isn't that a whole job on it's own?
In essence: As little as possible! In contrast to all you over-achievers out there (take that, Stamina), I dwell in the realm of extreme specialization, nobody in this country can do what I can, I need not return your call unless I feel like it, you will call again and pay my price because you have no option. My biggest daily decision is: drink 12 beers and get an erotic massage and blowjob from my sexy lady or: drink 16 beers and pass out! Mostly I take option 2, mainly because I know myself. I know that I seek novelty, it's a human thing, even a little kiss from another woman would make me hate beer, only for a short while, I would lick and fuck her to pieces for a while, then it would become routine, and I would look for the next one, and drink lots of beer in the meantime. that's life
Right now, Gobblinggirl is kissing my neck while her hands are in my shorts playing with my dick, that means I need to stop talking to you fun people out there and attend to my marital obligations, hope you will excuse me, have fun, look forward to pissing you off some more next time round! Your faithful MooPoo gang member

Is a style consultant the same as an image consultant?

No not really - an image consultant is far more indepth, I JUST do the clothes thing smile
It's my understanding that image consultants do more than just the clothing thing.

I have a friend that does it and he actually earns a very good living off it. Yes, he basically tells the people what hairstyle, clothes, way of walking, manner of speaking, even how to eat at a function, etc. Apparently people will pay good money to be told what to do and how to do it... Funny thing is this guy has nipples rings, and eyebrow sleeper, really bad tattoos (like they were done by a 1st grader drawing in class), and still wears the jeans low down with the underpants or boxer shorts protruding. And he consults the images of others?? Oh yes, and he goes by the nickname "Angel"... :sad:

Mrs Cat here: I have an Economics degree from UNISA, an Accounting Diploma from Pitmans College in the UK, half a psychology degree, half a law degree - stopped just before doing articles (specializing in commercial law) and a teaching degree (English language teacher - and yes I cannot spell), I speak 7 languages and am busy learning my 8th.......I have owned 2 companies: a credit insurance brokerage and an injection moulding company (that's fancy speak for: we make plastic bottles) - both companies have been sold as we are emigrating next month. I have attained teaching level in classical piano and play classical guitar, protea colours in 8-ball pool and provincial colours in gymnastics (although that was in my youth)... Oh and just for Stamina: my IQ is only 141 wink . Geez that was fun bragging! lol
