His job in- cludes checking buildings for proper fire escapes, maintenance work on extinquishers, maintaining the trucks, checking the medical sup- plies, and keeping the dorm and fir- ehouse clean. Troy feels like this job has taught him how to deal with people better. I've become an EMTXCPR instructor. That will help by teaching me leadership, he states. When Troy was asked about his overall opinion of his job, he stated, We help the campus a lot. They get an insurance break because of us. It's a very good learning experience. You learn a lot about fire behavior and suppression. He feels that the best thing about working at the fire house is that, We're all like one big family over here - other dorms aren't like that. ll Vocations 151

Electric Shop, Plumbing, Heating My job consist of installing mo- tors, taking them out, and fixing any steam leaks that occur, states Mike Fenwick, a sophomore Aviation Science!Spanish Education major. Mike feels that HeatingfRefrigera- tion is an O.K. job and his favorite thing is driving the truck around campus. When Mike was asked what he is learning at his job he replied, I didn't know a thing about motors and compressors before I started working here. Most of the other guys who work here had some sort of prior experience. Now I can do most of this stuff pretty well, but I still have to ask a question some- times. Working at HeatingfRefri- geration, which is supervised by Troy Young, is teaching Mike re- sponsibility. If I mess up here on the job, I could mess up the whole cam- pus. What I've learned here will also help me if I ever need to repair my own refrigerator. TOP- Mike Fenwick and Brian Willems spend an afternoon working on a pump.
