What do y'all do for a living?
 
I lost my job that had for ten years. I absolutely loved my job as a water guy for my town, yeah I was the guy in the hole at 3AM in the middle of January fixing a live water main break. Anyway, I'm looking for ideas for jobs. What do you guys do? Do you like it? Is it exciting?

I work for a software development company. For the most part, I liaise with the support people at our internationaldistributors. I love it because I talk to people all over the world every day. I am trying to work a deal to get down to New Zealand to "check up" on our distributor down there! (Can you say "red stag"?)

I have all the respect in the world for you millitary guys, and I wish I would have done that. At 35 I would be too old to start now.

I work for a major airline with ahub in Memphis. I am a ramp agent (determines weight and balance). It is repetitious but pays the bills. I could always use more though, to pay for my hunting addictions.

Me too! I don't drive a service truck anymore and I'm grateful for that. I run the electrical crew at a small university in Texas. I'll be here until I retire. Great benefits including lots of paid time off to hunt and very good pay for the trade!

I pull and terminate miles of voice and data cable.Mostly schools and projects like that. One of three cable guys in a company with 50 electricians and monkies.

Sad to say I just got laid off.Expecting to be called back but not for at least a month. Enoughsideworkalong with some unemployment insurance should make for an OK fall.

The neat thing is my wife is not even giving me a hard time. She says she understands that I wait all year for this.I make pretty fair cake when I'm working but the old ball and chain makes even more. I guess I will just have to deal with that.

My wife has always made at least double what I made until this year. I always looked at it as a blessing that we had the extra money and I was able go on hunts etc. that I probably wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. I never looked at it as something to deal with. JMO.

P.S. I own a small restoration company. We do water, fire, and smoke restoration and we also do mold remediation and restoration.

I have just finished up with the TSA as border security but i've went full time as an aircraft marshaller and love it.

My partner (Mike) is qualified in mechanical/aero engineering and is seeking employment offshore in Aberdeen.

The pay is very high in Scotland which is a good thing that I enjoy about living here and the 5 weeks paid vacation time.

I wish my wife made twice as much as I do. Then I would spend less time at work and more time in the woods! In her defense, she does pretty damn good while only working 8 hours a week. And no, she's not a stripper...the correct term is exoctic dancer. Just kidding![8D] She is a personal trainer and group exercise instructor.

Do you have a link to a portfolio of any websites/graphics you've done? I'm always interested in seeing others work.
