Currently in training to cut people open legally, give drugs that numb your senses, tell you that you need to lose 15 pounds, and get sued because your 94 year old grandmother died of natural causes but clearly it was my fault and I did something wrong.
Sales manager for a structural steel fabricator.
Not very exotic, or exciting, but I've stayed in the same industry since the week after I graduated high school and it has paid off. No college degree, just lots of hours, sweat and the desire to be better at what I did than any of my coworkers. Started off in the shop with an 8" grinder and a tack-welding lead. Didn't take me long to realize that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life in that position.

I'm studying for the bar exam so I can finally use my argument skills for something other than the "cartridge with high bc bullets" vs. "something else" thread.
If I don't flunk the bar exam, I'll be a lawyer doing all sorts of litigation.
I'm starting to think that a job diving into raw sewage would be better than studying for the bar exam.

Plumber for 18 years owned my own Business.. Sold it right before the Real Estate crash. Purchased property for pennies on the dollar and NOW I'm still a plumber maintaining my own properties. And work as a Hardware Engineer for a Large firm..
I was always told growing up that I could be anything i wanted to be...turns out it's now called identity theft.....
Retired Army 20 yrs..now working in a local shop..loving it.

I'm a Cowman on a purebred angus ranch and jack of all trades master of none on the ranch.
Just checking in to let you all know that work is for suckas
Semi retired physician working 4 days a week. Trained at a County hospital and saw everything. Tenyear ER stint when younger. Now just adult medicine with my average patient age about 80. High blood pressure, diabetes cardiovascular disease including severe chronic CHF, cirrhosis, stroke, cancer, etc. I do it all and still love, but getting harder every year with all the required worthless changes. At least I make decent money for weapons and ammo.
just finished building and installing this granite top
12 years, Firefighter/ Paramedic for 24 hours, Welder/ Fabricator for 48 hours.
Been doing the metal work since 1996 and now work, by myself out of my shop at home or out in the field with a portable rig. I LOVE BOTH OF MY JOBS! But if I won the lottery I'd retire from the FD and build one of the most bad ass shops you've ever seen and keep cutting, heating, and welding metals.

Semi-retired Electrical Engineer--3 days a week I red pencil screw ups in contract drawings for x-million dollar construction projects for the NYCDEP---but in upstate NY. Whyinhell don't they put engineering students on real jobs, with a bag of tools on their belt in the summer, so they know what a 50 HP motor really looks like?? Spent 20 years actually bending conduit and pulling wires myself.
Im work at a Volvo car dealership in the parts department. You guys need some thing for your Volvo,I will give you a good price and ship it.
RF Engineer-Telecom
Is 'Being Awesome' a job?
Ja! Das klingt gut!
Awesome. It sounded better and more official than 'Gigolo'.
We do our best!
And as far as the day job goes, I write reloading manuals, shoot, attend trade shows from Vegas to Nuremburg and anywhere in between, spend time at matches and visiting forums such as this.
It's a dirty job, but somebody HAS to do it!

My degree is in Plastics Engineering (injection molding, tool design, part design, manufacturing). Made car parts for a few years, then cell phone antennas (remember the Motorola star-tac?), then made cell phones for a big Japanese OEM for 11 years and I currently work as an Advance Manufacturing Engineer building commercial digital lighting control systems, sensors, switches, electrical panels... Always have worked in new product development. It is fun coming up with ideas and helping to design and build new shit...
I make a living doing exactly what I enjoy doing a lot, painting up gunstocks, scopes, you name it. It's a lot of fun, makes me happy and pays the bills all at the same time. Won't make me rich but it's a very low stress lifestyle, which is worth millions to me.

You obviously have your shit together! There is so much truth in the part that I made bold. People just don't get that there are more important things in life than money, cars, boats etc. etc.. Low stress is great for your health.
Some professions are often in direct contact, among other things, with the people's worst moments and/or sufferings (as can happen workin' as doctor,LEO,lawyer,etc.)_
I've ever had the impression that not only this can sadden you when this happens, but after years of that I think some of those repeated episodes could find a way inside you, becoming part of your memories, therefore part of you, especially when you KNOW that it's nothing you could do...etc.
For this reason Short-bus statement got my "like", for this reason I hope to be so lucky to can continue to draw, w. or w/out computer (better w/out),even if someone could say that neither of us has never "seriously" grown up, even well knowing that neither of us would be close to our next billion of dollars...

I work as a paramedic. I can make a meager living, but, I don't do it for the money. Every once in a while I get to help someone in dire circumstances and they appreciate it. That is reward that no amount of money can compare.
security at a VA hospital...psych ward.............
Thank you, but I won't confess how long it took me to realize what does and doesn't matter, lol. Kids have a funny way of giving you that shot in the nuts to make to reevaluate the way you see the world, it took a second kid to really give me that shot in the nuts though.
