Nice to know, Dubbya. I do the same thing.....for now. I may go another avenue within our organization, soon....if things work out.

I've completed projects from an $850,000 Church to a $49M,72 acre retirement community...to a $71M Systems and Engineering renovation on a college campus. I spend 75% of my working time in the office from 4:30AM to 8:00AM.

Of late....I've been on a 3-4 year "coast" while I await this new path.....building $5M-$7M projects in the industrial market sector. If things work out....I'll have very little free time for the next several years......but I'll cut off a few off the back end....ifyaknowwhatimean.

Give me a shout sometime, Dubbya. I'd love to talk shop with you.

I'm a partner in a Software company that makes Email Management software (archiving and legal discovery). I work most days out of my house and have a very understanding boss who knows my addiction. From Halloween week till the end of the season, I carry my Blackberry in the woods and hunt most mornings and evening. In fact last year, after I shot my buck on Halloween morning, I called my boss and asked if I could have the day off and his only response was 'How big?'

I run a free health care clinic here in IL. I started 4 years ago as a volunteer translator (M.A. in Spanish) and now I run the joint. I do enjoy, the patients get a little frustrating sometimes, but overall I do like it.

I used to be in the pga of america for 10 years as a golf professional, played mini tour events, a few nationwide tour events, and also state run pga events within the pga of america. I got sick of the bullcrap with lousy stupid lazy don't know _hit about the golf business or have anypeople skills owners. So i left and became an outside sales rep and now promoted to vice president of sales and marketing for a large john deere dealership. Let me see i left the worthless golf business and make twice the amount and work less. I would say good move. I also enjoy playing golf again.

Future advice to any young people looking for a career in the pga. Don't, you will have a more rewarding life out of the golf business, just ask around there is a ton of turnover. if your not at the elite country clubs your just kidding yourself. There are alot of clubs that are not making money!

RE: Your Other Life-
 

Just became a senior in High School today. Ive been running my own landscaping business since I was 10, as odd as that sounds. I'm being officially licensed for it this year, some of my bigger corporate jobs are finally crackin down on me for proof of licensing. I havehad plenty of insurance, but now I gotta pay to be licensed as well.[:@]Life is well, I make a LOT more than the other 17 year olds around here, and have cut my work down to two days a week, around 7 months out of the year. Mowing lawns can earn you a killing if you have the connections, and you're off from October to March. Downside is it is nearly impossible to get started in the business from scratch and do it full time, unless you really, really know some people.

Future plans of 4 years at WKU and then on to UK Law School...I'm not sure on what I want to major in just yet.

I've built several muti-million dollar projects for disney world andfor nasa at cape kennedy.

RE: Your Other Life-
 

I had to reply to this!!!! DT, I played a little of this game too, and at an avg. of about $200/day, tax free under the table money 1997-1999 2 - 3 days/month, it certainly DID seem like the money was growing on the tree, especially for an active duty soldier with a pretty SET income. I did a couple small jobs after I got out, and used my spikes for hunting a bit, but a blown out ankle (basketball, not climbing) a few years ago got them old spikes RETIRED.

Now what I do for REAL is push drugs, physically remove people from their comfortable chairs and beds, inject people with drugs, tie people down when they don't comply, and in general force people to follow my commands, or else, but most people don't see all of these parts of being a REGISTERED NURSE, they think we just sit around with funny hats on our heads and drink coffee. I'm not what most people would picture as a "male-nurse," being 'bout 6' and weighing 235-245# with a shaved head and a little goat on the chin, for some reason, I always get remembered, which is good AND bad. Certainly keeps me HONEST, because NO ONE is going to forget the BIG, UGLY, BALD guy if he didn't take good care of them. Fortunately, I've only ever had 2 complaints in over 12 yrs, and both of them were BOGUS!!!!
