Just thought it would be nice to find out what other members do for a living... I myself am an I.T. Manager. Been in the field for 17+ years now. Major strength in networking/telecommunications, but have been doing a lot of web development the past few years...
Skilled trades, Tool and die maker/designer for an electronics firm. http://www.legacytechnologies.com/
Quality Manager – Wine Bottling (any sort of quality/production/Health and Safety management in the food/juice/wine industries)
The slowness of responses encourages me to believe that my private results forecast is true . Namely , a considerable number with no employment and living off benefits and food stamps And a considerable number not particularly proud of their job titles -- for whatever reasons I had three businesses this time last year . However , having reached one of those age "new chapter" points ( No , mind your own business !) , I let one cease trading last September and sold one last Wednesday by sheer coincidence . This just leaves me with my Wine Importing and distribution business . I am in Ukraine next month and one reason is to look at import /export possibilities as I have long standing friends in that part of the world . But I am finished with heavy and time consuming work .Or , so I hope .
I'm a foreman on a construction crew. We mostly deal with foundations and earthworks, but lately we've been involved with a solar company from Spain, doing projects in Southern California and Arizona. I have a small cattle company on the side, which seems to be more of a hobby than a reliable source of income.
I relate to that . The company I sold was involved in Building exteriors maintenance . Hard work , up in the sky . I personally worked with my men for many years before becoming the Boss only seen occasionally . Let's say that it toughens you and makes any infighting here seem child's play .Though I would't mind showing a few here the roof top sights from an upside down position . !!
Yeah I can't really eat fast food anymore. I used to work there too years ago and the amount of grease that was dumped during a day sold me on that.
In the Energy Conservation business (Insulation, Air sealing). I do residential home energy audits and various other tasks for a small business. We work in Westchester county, and all the boroughs of New York City. Going into the police academy in January (hopefully).
do they get a lot paperwork? well at least part of your job is exciting. The most exciting thing that ever happened at my job is ............ I will have to do a little creative thinking and get back to you on that.
I was a submarinepainter for many years then I was the supervisor and now I do the Planning for repair work
About 90% of what I did in the service did not involve sitting in an airplane...as an instructor it was 50%, but this was only for two years. We called it "queep"...non-flying duties and yeah it involves pushing paper. Government work, even in the military is notorious for the mountains of paper work and red tape.
Owner of a small software development firm, an IT consulting firm, a social media marketing firm, and entrepreneur involved in various other activities.
I am medically retired from the Army and have had a wide variety of jobs since retirement, mostly as casual labor, construction helper and stevedore and janitor and that sort of thing. I also do some work as a role player in training scenarios, mostly related to military detainee operations. (It helps that I have a grotesque sense of humor.)
