I'm a Statistician by trade but currently I'm working as a Credit Risk Modeler. I'm the guy who builds the predictive models that say wether you get a note or not and how much your interest rate should be based on your risk layers.

I actually do quite a few things, all sales related. I sell grass fed organic beef, pork, and lamb as part of a family business. I manage internet sales and work part time at a local archery shop. I also sell many other things online and often buy things just to sell and will do automobile and farm machine brokerage quite a few times a year as well.
I also have a 40 hour a week job doing management and recruitment for a work/study program that helps people build skill sets and get their foot in the door of the IT industry. I also went to school to be a network engineer but hated that. I still do it on the side when needed though.

I work in a prison as a....Correctional Program Specialist! Basically I set up parole plans, run programs such as victims awarenesss, complete inmate visiting request, DO SSI DISABILITY PACKETS TO ENABLE FUTURE PAROLEES TO DO NOTHING AND COMMIT FUTURE CRIME, work with outside resources to reduce future incarcerations (it doesnt work), amongst other things! Prison isnt like you see on tv, it is easier! Two rules of thumb for the public to be aware of..........#1 Just because you see people sentenced to time society is lucky if they do half of it #2 Inmates have more rights in prison then we do on the streets. The only thing they cant do is walk out that gate every day. You can thank liberal lawyers and judges for all the wrongs today. Lawyers create this picture that inmates are victims when the real victims are swept under the rug! I can go on but I will stop.

Im an Entry Level Construction Estimator. But if I could make a living at deer huntin' then thats what I'd be doing instead of sittin' around all day 5 days a week. What I do is when our company hears of a job that is going to be up for bid, we get ahold of the plans, and put a price on all the items we are interesting in bidding for and we subcontract out all the rest. Once we have accomplished this we add everything up, get our price, and turn in our bid. If we are low bidder after everything is said and down; then my company is awarded the bid. Thats my job.
