What do you do for a living?

[MrClean]

No mention of what you make please, we tried that once.

I think it's cool to find out what people do for a living, call me nosey but it's like putting a name with a face for me. I actually like to see the diverse backgrounds that come together for the love of something.


I work for a wireless/wireline telephone company. I'm a Network Engineer, my group provides technical/troubleshooting assistance to the techs out in the field who are installing the equipment. Been doing it for 7 years now and really enjoy it. I hate the sitting behind a desk part of it, takes a lot of getting used to. Before this I spent 7 years refinishing hardwood floors, loved it, but my body didn't like it so much. Done everything from remodeling houses to janitorial work to installing mobile electronics, retail work even uke:

Well up until a year ago I owned my own computer shop. Upgrades, custom systems, ect...ect. But now I work at home. Now I'm a personal care attendant for my mother. Her health went down hill pretty fast and instead of her going into assisted living, I gave up everything and got involved with the UCP (United Cerebral Palsy) so that I can care for her and she can be comfortable.

I work at a grocery store as a bagger/cashier part time, and with my uncle the rest. He owns an audio video company, so we go around putting theaters, security systems, and wiring houses for that stuff all the time.

Very cool thread.

I am a Lab Tech with Airgas. Basically, I analyze pure and mixed gases to verify that they meet specifications. At work I sometimes pretend it's just a job but I actually enjoy it a lot. Quality control suits my nature so it's a good fit for me. I'm very precise and sometimes very anal about my hobbies so it works out well that my professional position requires attributes that come natural to me anyways.

Rolex and I are in business together. I invest the money for the seedy hotel rooms, he provides the "massage therapists" lol. He's been trying to talk me into some wholesale hamster idea though.

No really, I'm an operations manager of a structural steel company, my parents started the company, and I started as a computer tech and handled all the blueprints (which are all digital now), and I worked my way up and just got a new promotion about a month ago. I agree, the what do you make thread was a really bad idea.

I analyze pure and mixed gases to verify that they meet specifications.

So if I capture and send you bag of gas,can you identify what I had for dinner? :farting: Sorry,J/K Josh, I just had to. Surprised Rolex hasn't had a similar comment.

I originally went to school for auto mechanics, and although I was good at it, I just didn't enjoy the newer cars after working on old hot rods all the time. So I then spent 10 yrs rebuilding and remanufacturing turbochargers and superchargers. For the last 12 years now I'm a MoldMaker/ToolMaker. I design,build,repair and maintain plastic injection molds and metal stamping dies. After toolmaking, R/C parts are easy!

As of right now I work for UPS. I enjoy what I do for the most part, which is pretty much throw boxes around, lol. Beings CEN is a local company and i deal alot with internationl boxes, I see alot of CEN boxes, every time I see one I think how to sneek it out some how, JK lol. It pretty cool, I have it easy. I work in air, so its a ventalated building where as the rest of ups is a big closed door operation so its hotter then he!! in there, but in the air building its always 10 degrees cooler which is nice. I'm planning on next year or maby year and a half joining the police academy, and try to get into that or be a CHP. It has always been kinda a dream to be a cop or highway patrol. Ill just have to see where life takes me though. I'm currently taking classes to become a machanic but its not working out so well lol, those pesky damn ASE test kick my ass everytime lol. So beings thats not going to well it gave me the idea to become a cop.
