Been an entrepreneur for about 10 years now. I own a vehicle wrap company and a tree removal business. I love both my jobs. I've been doing wraps for close to 12 years and I have been climbing trees professionally for 12+ years also. When I get tired of sticking stickers, I go climb trees. I love it.

Truck driver most of my life, Nascar pit crew, Vinyl graphics installer, Now I do home maintenance and repair.
 
I've been working for Hunter Engineering for the past 13+ years as Director of Photography in the Advertising Department. I work with 3 graphic artists and 1 copywriter. Been behind the camera for nearly 25 years and am considered a Photoshop expert. I don't think I'm an expert at anything though.
 
I work for a utility. My card says Lineman but I only seem to do line work in the middle of the night. My day job is taking care of seven substations and five water towers. I do all of the electrical maintenance and testing of the equipment. Switchgear,transformers, controls, etc. Oh and I make the coffee.
Also..really a hobby. But I buy and sell used equipment mostly welders.
This is my play money to buy boats and fishing shtuff.

sounds like a cool job to have, give yourself some credit you have to know something to do it for 25 yrs
 
I'm a CPA - specialize in small business and their individual taxes - My job is to keep my clients out of jail and off the IRS radar. 15+ years and going strong.

But when I dream, I'm beating KVD by 10 lbs in the Bassmasters Classic every night. :D

Now you know

BTW - I run a whaling ship :mrgreen:
 
I have worked at Lowe's for the last 5 1/2 years.

I have a degree in business management and would like to get away from the retail business and get into something else. I have been trying to get a job on the RR here lately but the only place they are hiring for is around Chicago or out West.
 
I'm one of those rocket scientists that you hear about all the time, but let me tell you, we ain't NEAR as smart as most folks think we are. Actually, I'm sorta semi-retired but worked for years for NASA and the US Army Missile Command primarily at Marshall Space Flight Center and Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL. I manned a console in Mission Control during several shuttle missions, and was there when the Challenger disaster occurred. That really hurt personally because four of the astronauts that died were good friends and colleagues, and I knew the pilot and commander as well. But, other than that, I loved my job and would have gladly paid THEM to get to do what I did.

Six years ago, I decided to semi-retire and took a job as the assistant director of maintenance and housekeeping at a state university of around 6000 students. I'm also involved in project planning and management, and am the staff electrical engineer, also in charge of the hazardous waste program, and am the department's safety director. Sounds like a lot of hats to wear, but I'm home most every evening at a decent hour, rarely get called out in the middle of the night, don't have to travel too much, and work with a bunch of good folks. I'm really blessed.

:LOL2: Not at all!

That is why I cant do anything with tools, I'm even dangerous with a butter knife. I am jealous of what you guys can do. Some of us were meant to pay to get things done, unfortunately I am one of them.
 
As the name implies, I'm a City cop for 30 years, Deputy Chief for the last 24 years - my chief wouldn't retire so I never got the Chief's job - he and I both retired the same month (34 years for him, 30+ for me) in 2008. Prior to testing for the police department when I was 29, I worked in the trades as an electrician then as a builder/remodel tradesman - but. law enforcement was my calling, I loved it and did well - just didn't pay as much as work in the private sector :( But I'm surviving on my pension - so far, the Illinois government is now trying to mess with it :(

That and those dividend checks from running the Trivia game


Hay, where is my kickback?
 
Besides painting lures, I'm a manufacturing engineer with a Fortune 50 company. I work in the machine shop and deal with process improvements, safety issues, quality issues and work standards.
