Default Is there anything out there for an experienced fabricator/welder, veteran?

I am looking at getting out of the military, and my way out is going to be going back to school for my BS in engineering. I am looking to see if there are any shops out there that have any part time work available, and will be willing to work around a school schedule. I live in the Temecula area and school is in San Diego. If you think you may have work please let me know. I am just doing research at this time but I am pretty strong about going through with this. I will include a little about myself below. if you are interested and think we may be able to work this together please let me know and I will email you my resume and my military biography.

There is a lot more, I have a full resume prepared if you are interested. I am highly motivated to work and accomplish my tasks. I am a non smoker, drug free person (I am not a drinker by any means either). I have references of all types ranging from high ranking Generals and Successful well respected business owners, to friends that I have know and worked alongside for years. I have my own tools and welders of various capabilities. As I said if you think that I may be an asset to your shop and that you can accommodate me please let me know.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to any questions any of you may have
