WORK??? Well, I used to do a lot of Striper Fishing. But now I'm full time on one of the Bikes so that don't leave much time for anything else! Just can't seem to fit it in anymore... It's ok, I don't miss it!!!! Sarge....

SingSing, you must be one hard as nails dude!

I know some guys who have done your job here in Ireland and they are as we call them 'hardy feckers'

There are some really cool people on here who have both great jobs but have some fantastic stories of life to tell.

I truck, I drive a truck for Fedex. I drive from Louisville Ky. to St. Louis Mo. every night. Sounds kinda boring compared to the rest, but it pays the bills. Keep on Truckin........

Spent 28 years in construction of one type or another.... Project management, design work, hammer swinger, wholesale/retail sales you name it. Retired, went back to school and became a Surgical Technician. Went from cuttin' up wood to cuttin' up people!!!! Injured my right shoulder two years ago, have had two surgeries on it and have been told it's not going to get any better. So....... the hospital I work for (where I was injured at) has decided they can no longer use my services (as of today matter of fact) as my lifting ability is restricted. So, for now I sit at my computer and buy & sell on E-bay (along with spending A LOT of time on Cyclefish). Things are going to get better though by the grace of God and a damn good attorney !!!!!!

Currently working as elevator mechanic assistant at UVA, hoping to pass my CET this September and make mechanic.

In the back ground is the Westinghouse bridge which is paet of the Lincoln highway on rt 30, it spans the Westinghouse valley where george started his mega corp. that is where the Generators for the hoover dam were manufactured and machined also in that valley is the home of Westing house Air brake. Train buffs will know the sugnificantence of that creation. And in the fore ground are the 2 remaining blast furnaces in Pennsylvania of the J. Edgar Tompson Plant. Train buffs will know that name from the Penna. Railroad.

I work in a warehouse for a food vending company called AVI, I'm also in Bible college and am a (volunteer) youth Pastor and worship leader at my church. I consider that my job, the AVI thing just pays my bills... sort of. When it doesn't pay my bills, I wrench on cars in my garage for a little under the table cash. Nothing really major, brakes, tune-ups, exhaust, tire repair, basic diagnostics. I'm working on getting the tools to do more involved jobs, but that's expensive when you consider today's cars. Everything I know about cars I either learned on my own 'cause I had to know, or I picked up from my dad.

Started real life as a rescue swimmer/aviation electrician in the U.S. Navy. Started doing fugitive recovery contracts with some friends who were retired special operators with the Navy and Air Force, turned into freelance protection and training contracts until the birth of my first. Traveling 60-90 days at a time was out of the question with kids, so we started an aircraft paint and upholstery facility to get back to my love of aviation. After 90 hrs/wk for three years straight it was obvious we had grossly underestimated the labor pool in the small town we were in and decided to shut it down to live better. Started the firearms and defensive training operation up again part time and went into Mfg management. Currently managing a small plant just south of Toledo, Ohio as an evaluation process until they give me my own plant or I get tired of this life sucking, grab-assing, Mickey Mouse political bullshit corporate environment where data grossly outweighs judgement in most situations..........anyway, until I decide I want to train/lecture fulltime bad enough and figure out a way to make it pay for itself....
