What kind of work do you folks do?
 
There is certainly alot of resources on here as far as getting advice. I was just wondering if you could share what type of work you folks do.

I can go first...I'm a 3rd grade teacher and specilize in teaching slow children and in reading. I love all the extra time off. My principal is also a bow hunter and understands me asking for days off.;)Also..many years of working with defiant children. I'm on year 17. My wife also teaches at the same school.

Right now I'm a stay at home, 7month pregnant, mommy and wife. Previously I have been in employment sales (sounds odd, hard to explain), media sales, realtor, executive admin. asst/tray lidding film sales, assistant sales training manager, most recently assistant property management/manufactured housing sales... see a trend here? LOL I have done sales since I was 18.

I'm 26 years old and am tired of working for the man, as is my husband, so we are in the process of opening our own seamless guttering business. We have begun to buy the necessary things, currently are on the lookout for our machine, made a couple of calls on 'em today, hopefully will have a machine by the end of the year so our business will be up and running by early spring. His best friend will be partnering with us, they will be doing the installation and I will be doing the business admin., accounting, and you guessed, sales for the business.

I'm a career firefighter/ EMT. Actually I drive a fire engine for a living...and I couldn't imagine being any happier. I've got 20 days each month to hunt/fish/golf/coach baseball/etc.

I've been in the Air Force, packed sheetrock, worked for the Postal Service, Lowe's, and many, many years ago I flipped burgers at McDonald's.

I have my own finish & trim carpentry company. I've been doing it a few years now; I was a bricklayer for 8 years before that. A nasty fall and consequential back surgery prompted me getting into trimming.

RE: What kind of work do you folks do?
 
Thanks for sharing folks. The only one I'm jealous over is the farm worker. At this point in my life I would love to live in the country near a nice , kind farmer who had too many deer on his property. ;)We plan to retire and move to the country in 9 years. We live pretty cheap so we can one day have our own spread. I do drive to one member's place on here which is 1060 miles away. There is nothing like the sound of songbirds chirping and the miles of rolling country to hunt. I save up every year for this event. While some go on cruises..I prefer a week in the Ozarks sitting in an oak tree.

Electronics Technician that designs, orders , and installs equipment to build E911 dispatch centers for themilitary all over the world. In a days time I could work on computer software and core holes in concrete. It is a really fun non-routine job. Cool thing is that when I am not on the road I work from home and get to hunt, well around the kid's school schedule.

I'm a closer. I'm in the high tech telecom field and love to get down in the technical weeds. Rule #1, you can't spell Geek without a double "E" Electrical Engineer for you non-Maryland Grads.;)

Can we do a swap? I set you up in awesome hunting ground and you help me design and install a sprinkler system for my yard?

I admire you all for taking the leap. I love the small biz because I was one in the past. Now, I love the marketing of the small biz. Marketing is a passion of mine and is why I'm looking towards an MBA. Let's chat sometime not about your core biz details but ways to market it and move ahead of your competition.Selling and marketingis better then the best sport match up , hands down! I wish you all luck!
