Thread: What kind of work does everyone do?

I work for an insurance company in the claim department. Also ride a harley, play guitar and sharpen a ton of straight razors.....lol.

Degree is in Hotel Restaurant Management
The hours involved in managing a restaurant were not good so I switched to business management - office setting, normal hours. I left that a year ago to be a full time dad to our now 14 month old daughter. Pretty hard work, but as Kelly said, quite rewarding.

Retired Air Force Colonel. Currently, Senior IT program manager.

i am an attorney. my daughter is leaving this summer to attend the university of tennessee at knoxville. wants to be an attorney.

(sheepishly exits the stage, wondering if they will throw things at me for bringing another attorney into the world)

Well, I am another stay at home dad. My daughter is 16 months old and I have another baby due in November.

I work weekends at an art museum here in Nashville and am finishing up an English graduate degree. When I finish that I will start teaching evening classes at a local college and when the little ones start school I plan on either getting a PhD or just moving to full time teaching. (The wife is all about the full time teaching....hmm, I guess she is tired of paying for my hobbies.)

Well, now for my real answer ....

I currently manage the Administrative Computer Training Department at a major university (Boston University).

I spent 15 years as a professional Jazz musician (drummer), and then taught music for a bit in two private elementary schools.

I am in the process of publishing a couple of eclectic books, and raising two teenaged girls.

Currently a high school student in a suburb of Buffalo. I excel at history and english. I have "shadowed" many people for careers because we are at the stage were they push the whole "career" thing. I shadowded the attorney general of Western New York and have shadowed businessmen at banks and investment firms. I have decided I have no desire to be a lawyer but investing sounds interesting, but what I really want out of life is adventure like I're read in books such as the Rise and Fall of the British Empire, A Secret Pilgrimage to Mecca and Medine, the Travels of Robort Louis Stevenson, etc. Too bad the sun is setting in the British Empire.... Although I don't know if this is an actual career but it sounds interesting, investing in counties in Africa and Asia for raw materials, kinda like what the colonists did and sounds soomewhat adventerous. Maybe I've spent too much time with my nose in books about fomous British explorers.

I'm a psychotherapist and am partner in a small software business.

I ride a Kawasaki Concours, play guitar, cross country ski, and paddle a kayak, generally not at the same time.

I told myself after the first two shaves, I just wasn't as into straight razing as I thought I was going to be. Then the next morning I laughed, and picked it up again, haven't stopped since.

I am a retired correctional officer. I am currently writing a book on the lighter side of jail. As some of you already know, I also wrote a mini book on CD about restoring straight razors. It came about from all the requests I received from people who had bought them from me on eBay asking how I did the work. I have made custom knives since 1991, which is where the ability to work with str8's came from. You can find out more about the CD and my knives at:

When I occasionaly have to speak to groups of younger teen boys, I often have occasion to draw a small circle on the classroom white-board and I say, "This is your ass-hole." Then I draw a larger circle right next to the first and say, "This is your ass-hole in jail." It gets a snicker, but also their attention, LOL

BTW, anyone interested in fixing up old razors ought to get Bill's CD. It will pay for itself the first mistake you avoid!
