I was an insurance broker for 30 years, then sold my portion of the business to my brother and his sons 4 years ago. Since then I fell into another career as a curator for a natural history museum that is being built in Silicon Valley.  I wish I would have gotten into this gig before insurance. It's a lot more fun. 

I am a Specialty Sales Assistant Store Manager for The Home Depot.  I am responsible for the departments that do the most special orders, like carpeting, appliances, doors, windows, as well as the hiring, firing and day to day running of the store.  18 years now.

I go to High School.   

I'm an airline pilot. I fly 757 and 767's.

I am a finisher, I paint all high end finishs, lacqure, faux stone finishes, wood graining, wall glazes. I make all my own stains and glazes, and also color match existing colors and finishes.

Oil end user... I sell residential/commercial heating oil...HVAC and plumbing....

Electrical and instrumentation Supervisor in an Oil refinery. They make you a Supervisor when they don't want you touching stuff. lolo

I'm a mechanic. I love engine building but hate having to fix water leaks and dash board rattles.
This is me fighting with a Nissan pickup to remove the engine.
 

And this is why, it's never good when a con rod comes out the side of the block

I'm Office and Personnel Manager at Vanderbilt Chemicals in Murray KY.  We make rubber accelerators that go into everything rubber except tires (helps the rubber cure faster), additives for industrial oils and greases (to keep things from oxidizing), additives for paints (to help them dry faster), and we also process bentonite ore to go into pharmaceuticals and things like toothpaste and makeup.  I do all the personnel work, payroll, insurance, accounting work, purchasing, etc...  We just completed a $35 million expansion.

I went to dental school for a couple of years but got bored and ended up with a Pol science/Economy  degree.  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

No no Joe, that's the master bedroom at Pete's house.

After working at a traffic sign manufacturing business for 5 years I got my contractors license and started my own business. 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! 
 
What an Idiot I am!
