Thread: SRP Professions - How about a random poll on what people do for a living?

Unemployed Information Systems Engineer (after 23 1/2 years was laid off). Self Employed computer repairman. Economy killed that dream. Then I drove a truck, was laid off again.

I've designed, purchased and installed multi hundred terabyte mid-range platforms and now I can't find sh*t.

Costco is starting to look good as a place of employment. Hell I'll even stock shelves! Doesn't seem to be a lot of call for a 55 YO computer engineer these days.

This is what scares me about IT. I know I'm going to be put out to pasture sooner or later. I'm thinking about going back to China to teach English, at least it pays.

I'm a Pediatric ICU Nurse.

I´m a truck driver.

Mike!

With your personality, work ethic and a good attitude toward life in general any company should and will welcome you! From what I hear, Costco isn’t a bad place to work for!

As you’ve said many times; If good thing come to those that wait, you’ve got good things coming! Trust me on this!

Well to keep on Subject; I'm a journeyman clerk for an international chain called Safeway. On May 27th 2012 at 1:00 pm I will have 33 years in! Not that I'm counting!

I'm been in construction for the past 26 years. The last 15 as a contractor. Work is slow. Just waiting for the economy to improve.

Gentlemen:

I am a writer and a novelist. I have had three simultaneous careers, actually: writer, radio broadcaster and commercial and documentary voice talent. Although no longer in radio, I continue to write. Currently I am working on my second novel. "Will's Music," my first novel, is a love story set in the world of radio and dance. "Obie's Opus" is a collection of humorous and interesting anecdotes from the world of classical music and the great composers. Now and then I also land a voice gig, although things have been slow.

Great thread. I have always wondered what others do for "work".
For me, Chemical Engineering with an electronics minor by training, Elevator Mechanic by trade for more than 35 years.
