What do you do for a living?
Just wanted to see what everyone does for a living...
I'm a regional systems specialist for a large fortune 500 company. I also do some real estate investing. And I go to school part time to finish my 2nd degree... Whew!!

I am a Livestock Nutritionist by training and currently am the Director of Technical Services for a microbial manufacturer. We also have a farm where we raise high quality alfalfa and alfalfa-grass hay for the horse market.

Hmmm
Let's see in a former life I was active Air Force, Police Officer, and I retired from the USAF Reserve 2 yrs ago.
Right now I chase around bird dogs for a living in the winter in TX. When I am not doing that I train dogs for a living.

Do For a Living
From age 21 to age 53, worked as a police officer in Indiana. Part time security director for a large building since retirement. Pension checks come on the 15th and 31st, regularly.
I guess at this point I live on my pension and what my wife of 42 years can make as a cedit manager for a very large drug company. She is going to retire next year 07 and we are going to travel.
Running field trial dogs for about 20 years as an amateur. That is what I love.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Just graduated from law school on the 13 of May. Started bar review today, so I'll be looking for procrastination from my assigned reading here on the boards. I've got a job as an attorney waiting for me in my home county in southern Illinois starting the week after the bar exam.

I wish I could put my job into a fancy technical term that makes it sound more important than it really is
Everybody can be an engineer if you phrase it correctly! One of my favorites is domestic engineer = housewife/husband.
In my opinion, though, the only real engineer is the kind that drives a train engine, the locomotive engineer. I'm biased, though, because my dad is a locomotive engineer.

I'll be nice to your T-bar, if you leave the tile out until the Engineers have decided on how much additional wiring they forgot!

Without a doubt, this is the most important thing one can do. Money comes and goes, but happiness is something earned and lasts forever leading to a much more fulfilling life.snips wrote:I worked all my life on a Saddlebred Farm teaching riding lessons, grooming and breaking colts.

What I do for a living...get up way too early, take care of 4 dogs, get my 5yo son ready for preschool, get my butt to work to sit behind this computer for 8 hours, pick son up, take care of the 4 dogs, make dinner, clean up, put son to bed then fall asleep on the couch during Seinfeld reruns. Ditto day after day. Yes, there is a husband in there somewhere too!
Cumberland, are you my boss???
PS. Did I mention scooping poop twice a day?

I work at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and I monitor and operate/control the HVAC and other mechanical equipment around campus via building automation systems. Also the fire alarm systems and a few other campus wide systems are monitored and often controlled/operated by the office in which I work in.
Outside of here I mow yards, work on a few farms, in teh winter work at our huntign club and I'm the woodcutter for a BBQ team consisting of a fe friends of mine (ok, they tellme what kind of wood they want to cook with and how old and the quantity and I find it, cut it, provide it and I just drink beer and watch while they cook!).
Ayres, where are you coming to work in Southern Illinois? You do know that anythgin above I-64 isn't Southern Illinois anymore don't you?
To the other guy who went to school down here, why did you find it so boring?
