Spent 30 years in Radio and Television - both on air and off. Started a funeral home 7 years ago. Like Johnny, I'll only let you down once. Lane
 
Im a commercial flooring installer, Member of the MRCC union, and part time stay at home Dad, due to Michigans horrible economy!!!
 
I'm a Molder/Coremaker in a large foundry here in Birmingham. I work with tens of thousands of pounds of molten steel and iron on a daily basis. I make the molds and forms for various parts and cylinders. My wife just says I play in the sand all day!!! [:D]
 
I'm an electrical engineer. I work for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. In my spare time I do some IT consulting, mostly concerning Internet technologies and database applications in eCommerce. Oh, and I run a penturning web site frequented by some very interesting people! [:D]
 
Tom,

My old company have some contracts in Kwajalein. I turned down a few offers to be stationed there. If I recall correctly, there was a hefty incentive and HUGE hazard pay too [;)].
 
Can't really complain about the location or work. Good wood shop, but I do have my own lathe. It is just hard to get wood out here when our only option is US mail.

All right Tom....I would think you could get one of your buddies in the states to load up a test rocket with wood, and have it say......accidentialy land in you back yard..[:D]
 
Another high school mathematics teacher here. Used to teach night classes for a university, but that job took away too much time from turning [:D]

If you host the next pen turner's symposium, I'll come and bring you lots of presents (assuming you foot the bill for the plane trip)!
 
Fascinating reading! Lots of interesting occupations!

I'm a pen maker [:)]
A retired Psychotherapist. I had a private therapy practice for years and loved my work. I worked a lot with Schizophrenics, Personality Disorders, etc. - which is why I enjoy these groups so much! [}:)]
Before graduate school and my therapy practice, I was a Stenographer, a Dr's office Receptionist and Head Housekeeper for a hotel.
I'm also a wife of 44 years, mom to 3 great kids, and grandmother of 4.

I've been a pen maker for over 7 years now, and it's definitely the most fun occupation I've ever had!

Sounds like you have been busy Pat (and all the rest of you!) I have been retired from the office for 16 years now. My how time does fly!! I have always worked in the accounting field. I opened my own tax and accounting practice many years ago. I was an Enrolled Agent for many years also. EA's represent clients before the IRS. I loved fighting with the IRS and had some pretty great outcomes on some very big cases! Now I am the treasurer of our church, a computer bug and sometimes wood turner. I also care for my Mother-in-law and husband who has severe emphysema.
 
I'm a job shop machinist. I do fixture design and build, use KeyCreator cad and GibbsCam software. 15 years at the same job this month. Only 24 years until retirement (thats the plan).[:)]
 
An Ozarker. [:)] After more visits to SDC than I can count, now avoid. But would make a trip if you are performing. Sorry about pins and rods in back. Take care from Mountain Home, Arkansas
[/quote]

I havent been to SDC in years ether but have been looking forward to doing the demo at some point. Next time your up to Grizzlys give me a holler I just live in Republic or 10 mile west of Bass Pro Shop[:D]

I agree, great fun reading this thread and many very interesting and diverse occupations/careers out there. Thanks to everyone who added their input! [:)]

Nancy [:eek:)]
 
I retired from the Army 1 year and 6 days ago. I was working as a manufacturing manager for a little over a year since but I quit on the 1st of April. I tell everyone that after playing army for 20 years I need some time to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Any money in this business or will I spend more than I make?[^]
 
I've been a university professor for 28 years with a Ph.D. in Learning and Behavioral Problems. I also help families and kids with LD and ADD. We lost our youngest daughter (20) to Hurricane Ivan (Sept, 2004) I thought maybe if I started turning pens it would help take away some of the pain. It hasn't, but I love turning.
 
Hi,

Senior advisor in an IT department for 26 years now (the no one know what he do guy, that's me!)[:D]. Retiring probably next year.

Peter, it sounds suspiciously to me like you have my dream job of professional shopper?? [;)]

As for myself, I'm a Clinical Psychologist. I work on an inpatient psychiatric unit doing evals and testifying in court regularly.
 
Currently a truck driver. Logged in the north woods for way too many years before trucking. Anxiously awaiting my lathe so I can set up a shop.
 
My title is Production Engineering Supervisor, I supervise the skilled trades associates on three shifts. We make oil and air filters for Honda of Ohio, GM, Allison and the like. We now make the oil filters and SEND them to China. Seems weird, making someting to SEND TO China.

I was an AT for 12 years, so that makes perfect sense to me.[:D] I got out of the Navy 8 years ago, but I still work in the same job field: Calibration (for you guys that like fancy titles, I'm a Metrologist.) [:p]
