Thread: What you do for a living?

I'm an Industrial Designer, currently working for a design consultancy specializing in sheet metal parts. Trying to teach myself how to weld of late as our current guy is sh*t!

I am a CT4 (communications Tech level 4) for Comcast. I install, implement, and troubleshoot bot Residential and Commercial services including security systems. I make it happen. Every home/business has its' own challenges. Just tackle it head on.

Pixel I would like to meet you some , but I'm glad I didn't meet you on that ship! Tc

Great thread Very interesting to hear about everyone.

me: High school - weekends working at my dads firm doing filing, paper shredding etc, and holidays working on a farm - mustering, fencing building and repair, and professional shooting.
University (7 years, 3 degrees (IT, Business & Law) and didn't complete a single one, just couldn't see myself happy doing what I studied for 40+ hrs a week - but wouldn't change if I could do it again, learnt a lot that I use in other ventures), university holidays was back on farms, shooting or fruit picking. After first year of university I worked full time in retail and studied full time.
Since University, business and development, sales, web development and entrepreneur.
Currently, financial services (pays the bills) plus still entrepreneur with new business launching soon
But in saying that, looking for a new change of direction at the moment, something different and interesting, hopefully without having to take too much of a pay cut and under 50hrs a week so I can still launch and run the new venture.

Some of you guys have some lists of jobs but I guess that some of you guys are quite a bit older than I. Makes me jealous of some of your careers.

Currently I work at Wally World. Im a department manager and have been for just short a year now. I am in charge of electronics and sporting goods and toys and automotive.

Before that I was in the Navy. I was a small boat operator (coxswain) and a machine gunner for 5 years. Unfortunately these skills don't help me too much now that I am out and in the civi world. Although sometimes I wish I could carry a nice M240b around walmart with me (I feel a lot less dumb questions would be asked of me then).

Before that I worked at home depot for 2 years as a snot nosed cashier.

Before that I was in high school and worked for my family's tile business as a marble cutter. Probably my favorite job I had. No stress and good pay with an hour and a half of overtime each day and a cash pay check each week.

I've tried to get into my own thing with making beer or liquor but alas the government makes it quite hard to get into it.

I am right there with you. Until i see threads like this it is easy to forget the difference in life experience throughout this site. Especially with people of all ages just coming into the world of the SR.

I do some of this as well. Beer and wine are pretty easy out here in Tucson as far as the law goes with home brewing but liquor still requires a lot of hoop jumping so i have not gone there... at least not yet anyway.

I work as a Commodities Relocation Specialist... or Truck Driver LoL Been doing it for over 10 years and 1.5 million miles. Love getting paid to drive around North America and taste new coffees with people.

Adult Neurologist, with sub-specialty in Headache Medicine.

I am in the advertising world. I own a small advertising agency and we specialize in digital marketing, mostly Google Adwords campaigns (We are Google Partners) some Facebook advertising and search engine optimization.

There is no need to be jealous of what job we have. The job I do does not reveal what kind of man I am. It takes all kind to make this world go around if you doubt it just look at the variety on this thread. And you are working, and not depending on the government!!
