What do you do for a living?

jro's thread got me interested about what people here do for employment. I know kernow is a career child molester and serial rapist but what do you real members do for jobs?

I'll start, I'm a manager at an electronics retailer for the service department.

Nah, those guys have to actually produce something for their money. All I have to do is fill out an internet form twice a month.

It's a good thing we live in a service based economy then.

On an off as part of district management for a bank (training, advertising, evaluator), depending on shcool schedule.

But really driving my girlfriend around to class/work/hospital (just diagnosed with petite mal seizures), taking care of my house, arcades, and professional beer pong player :loco:

That's much more of my real job.

I predict a lot of the responses will be something to do with IT, graphic design, or engineering.

SERAC/SEO (ret.)
~but I'll list this anyhow since I did it for 6 1/2 years:

Sub Contractor/Custodian
Independent Contractor/Land Scaping/Lawn Care.

...the above are all I have time for. Basically jobs where I
don't have to work with anyone else, show up, do the job
and get paid. No Bullshit, no work place politics. Just how I
like it. Work four days and off three. As a family man and
my daughter being so attached to me at this point, my real
job is keeping her out of my wife's hair so she can tend to
our 9 month old son. The money is better than I thought it
be though.

I'm toying with the idea however of procuring my Level Four
"Personal Protection Officer" certification and doing bodyguard
work at a local and regional level, but I'll never work in the SERAC
/SEO field again due to all the fuckheads that have ruined that end
of the business. :mad_2: I'd consider being a bouncer again, but
the places would have to pay at least $13.50 an hour before I'd
consider it and guarantee at least six hour shifts. Most places only
want to pay guys like $9.00 or lower for that shit, FUCK THAT!

...so nope, no glory story here.

That's what I want. Something where you clock in, do the time, and that's it. Nothing that follows you home and torments your personal life.

My brother has a job like that climbing telephone poles and checking the lines... I envy him. I'm definitely more of a "work to live", not "live to work" type.

Reminds me of when I worked at UPS. Man that was a great job, too bad it didn't pay more. :(

I'm definitely the "work to live" type too. Currently, I work in medical transportation driving non-emergent patients to the hospital.

My girlfriend does that now.

Bless you because I know I can't handle that job. A few years ago, she got knocked out trying to restrain a client who was upset.
