Thread: What is your profession or real job?

Tweet

The picture thread gave this idea to start to see what everyone does for a living. If you are retired, what did you do before you retired. I'm sure some of you are gonna come up with some doozies if you know what I mean....LOL!

I'm a Flight Paramedic on a medical helicopter. I work 2 days a week....A 24 hour shift and a 12 hour shift. It comes with some pretty cool pirks, like working the infield at Martinsville at all NASCAR races. I also work every once in a while on an ambulance at another company on a part-time basis for mad money for my car...LOL!

I have 2 jobs. Like one of them and Love the other.
Full time operations manager for The Hershy Company in the distribution network. part time ( 2 or 3 weekends a month Thursday-Sunday March through November)
I work in the Soecial events department for Meguiars.
I get paid to go to car shows hang out with cool people and cool cars

Medically retired now. Spent 20 years in Uncle Sams Canoe Club (U.S. Navy). After retiring there worked on Brunswick bowling equipment as Head Mechanic (incharge of machines, scorer, Lanes and lane conditions, HVAC, etc,etc) for serveral different companies. (One kept getting bought by another, etc.) In Illinois and Washington state.

Cool iceburgh. I can honestly say that I am a fan of the Meguiars products and use their products more than any other brand. I also eat a lot of the Hershey products too, probally to much....LOL!

And thanks for your service oldf100

Chief Inspector at a major corporate jet manuafacturer repair station and outfitting center. We do the Chip Foose kinda thing only to corporate jets.

My primary job has been in the public sector for the past 34 years. But these days I think most of my time is spend sitting in a car going to work or home. Boy, traffic has gotten to be a bitch over the last 10 years.

I own a trailer manufacturing co. www.Kendonusa.com

Silk screening business. We do most of the local car show and rod run t-shirts. Up until three years ago, we took the screenpringing equipment to the rod runs and set up on location and printed the shirts on site. It's been a good 27 or so years. I'm getting too old to set all that stuff every weekend now. We just preprint what we think we'll need for the show and take 'em with us. TTommy

Peo industry, work comp/payroll leasing, been at it for about a month, was a building inspector before this

Semi-retired aircrafter (that means I work only when my lovely wife orders me to do so).

Spent the last bunch of years working for a real jerk (me) overhauling windshields, windows, and canopies on corporate jets, turboprops, and 'copters.

It was tedious, boring, monotonous, and LUCRATIVE AS ALL GITOUT ...... however much "all gitout" is..... I've never known for sure.

Pro Boxer for 2 years, purchasing manager for 30 years, maintence manager now for the last 9 years for our school system.

I've been doing custom body work and painting part time since '71, and full time since '86, but before '86 I:

...worked 3-4 years running industrial printers,

...4-5 years as a journeyman machinist,

...10 years as a heavy equipment operator/railroad brakeman/locomotive operator, for a copper mine.

I make less painting, but I'm much happier.
