I, however, have worked in the courier/freight industry most of my life. I started at UPS, then I left and opened my own trucking business in 2004. I sold everything in 2009 and have worked ever since as a private contractor for Fedex and other companies servicing a resort area in British Columbia (Sunshine Coast). I spend 3 hours a day on a ferry. I take freight from Vancouver and distribute it to a group of drivers who deliver it. I drive about 250km a day. I come back to Vancouver at night with bags of documents from all the banks in the area, as well as hospital and private labs coolers, legal documents, mail and small parcels that need to be processed here. I work 12 hour days but no complains, its actually fun Hemps, Angel, azzkikr and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Fixing and installing metal guardrail on roadways, striping center lines, stenciling STOP, School Xing ect in roadways and striping parking lots. The best money maker was manufacturing street name signs for new housing developments as many times the developer would forget to order the street name signs. With millions of dollars worth of new homes that buyers cant move in to unless the streets are properly signed the developer would call and ask "how soon can you get these signs made" and rarely worried about how much they would cost $$$. Since I had a shop behind my home I was able to have the signs ready the next day and send a crew out to install them. our reputation for delivering on short notice was impressive. This went on for almost 25 years until 2008 - 2009 when the housing market in California crashed. I woke up one morning and looked out the window and noticed that the air was brown, went outside and found my truck had been broken into . .that was the last straw. I had bought a place in Montana years ago and I decided to move to where the air is clean and I can leave the keys in my truck with no worries, no sales tax and guns are welcome. BUT the question was "What I do for work" NOTHING! I help my buddy on his ranch when I want to, go fishing almost everyday. After 25 years of busting ass I deserve . . . . . .NOTHING!

My favourites were those with apple or apricot inside them. They were lovely doughnuts. When I stopped doing what I did before, I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes so I couldn't have any more doughnuts which is a shame as I did enjoy the doughnuts, especially the apple and apricot ones. After 30 years of doing what I did before, I had to think about what I wanted to do without doughnuts. Health was obviously more of an issue so I chose to work for Star Fleet as they have sick bays on their starships. I quite liked tinkering with networks and that sort of thing and the idea of protecting us from Klingons also appealed so I decided I would frustrate all phishers and those who'd Google me and try to work out the name of my first pet by describing my occupation as "systems engineer". In reality, the most complex thing I engineer these days is a toasted bacon and egg sandwich - not half as good as the doughnuts but it has no sugar in it. I do like beer...a lot...but I don't drink professionally. I like to think that, even if I cannot save the planet from Klingons, I can at least recycle lots of tin and glass. The taste of beer is nice too, though maybe not as nice as doughnuts (especially the apple and apricot ones - they were great). I would like to point out that none of my passwords are based on Star Trek and money/personal wealth is irrelevant in the 24th century anyway.
