What is your job?

[Robert]

What do you do for a living?

I am a web designer, developer and manager of a company.

 

[Jimi75]

I have a regular job as a project manager in consumer electronical business. I also have fix engagements with my music (studio jobs, writing pieces for kids) that grow more and more. Today we will meet people from a record company who will check the draft for our kids musical. Things work great and I consider myself more a musician than a business man.

 

[Robert]

Oh wow, that is cool Jimi. It's great you have such connections and the time for it too. I am more of a Jack Of All Trades than anything else... :whatever:

 

[Jimi75]

It's great you have such connections and the time for it too.

It's tough really. Most days look like this:
Coming home from work, playing with the kids, spending the evening with my wife, then working on my music from 10-1h in the night and getting up again at 6h in the morning.

 

[SuperSwede]

I work at the Police, I take care of those who wishes to file a police report and stuff like that.

[djmcconnell]

I do interactive strategy in a marketing agency by day.

At night, I hang out with my wife (and college-aged kids when I can). I seem to find some time to practice guitar most nights, too.

On Sundays, I sing and play in the church worship band.

Life is good!

[duhvoodooman]

Quality assurance manager for a manufacturer of large industrial air and gas compressor equipment. When I first graduated from college with a degree in chemistry, I was an organic and polymer chemist at a major research facility. Much has transpired in between. What a long, strange trip it's been....

P.S. Unlike that guy on "Breaking Bad", I've never run my own meth lab, so don't even ask.

[bigG]

Well, let's see. Alot of ground to cover...

Working musician from 1964 - 1971.
During that time, I also did part-time as an apprentice electrician.

1972 - got my electrician's journeyman's card. Worked full-time as journeyman electrician - residential, commercial and industrial.

1975 - got my State of Florida Master Electrician Certification, and ran a business for abt 3 years.

1977 - opened and owned and operated my record store thru 1980. (Be careful what you wish for! My love of music really waned during this time, as I was in the store from 10 AM til 9 PM six days a week, w music playing constantly. The LAST thing I wanted to do was listen to music at home or in the car! My enjoyment of my first love - music - had run out! Also, every beautiful album cover and its contents became just a catalog #, as ordering and shipping from major labels was handled this way. Got to where I couldn't handle it anymore and sold the store!)

1980 - started my own electrical contracting business thru 1991.

!981 - 1983 - got a three-piece acoustic group together (miced thru our PA) and became house band at local legendary cut'n'shoot bar. Finally got playing live out of my system. Had been bugging me for years. So glad I finally did that! Weekends only while running my contracting business.

1992 - returned to college (I had done abt a year and a half back in the late 60s - and all those credits transferred!). Graduated Summa Cum Laude w a B. A. Degree in counseling psychology in 1995.

Took a break, then went back for my Master's Degree in 1998 - my world then proceeded to fall apart: had a nervous breakdown in 1999-2000 and was a vegetable for abt a year and a half. Never quite fully recovered and haven't worked since, although I keep my Electrical Contractor's License active (that damn thing was just SO hard to get, I'll never let go of it).

Luckily, my three children (by three different wives) were grown by then, and are all doing very well!

2005 - decided to get serious abt playing guitar again, and have spent many thousands of dollars acquiring most of the gear you see in my signature since then.

Welp, that's the bulk of my story and I'm stickin' to it! I guess the short answer would be Master Electrician!

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Lawyer. I've been a sole practitioner since 1998 when I decided that if I was going to work for an a**, it might as well be me. Primary areas of practice are family law (board certified) and criminal law.

 

[just strum]

I've been in manufacturing and marketing in the aerospace industry for small period of time and the rest has been in aerospace procurement. A total of 28 years in the aerospace industry and by far where I work now is the best place.

By night I am a crime fighter.

 

[Childbride]

when my paternal gpa got back from his service in wwii, he and gram started a lumberyard/hardware store... he also contracted to build, as well.

so from the time i was old enough to slap price tags on paint cans, i would help... when i was old enough to legally work there, i did...

and i remained in some position in that general industry through undergrad.

have been an attorney since 96.

 

[ted s]

Almost 20 yrs. of building controls/fire alarm service/install related through 4 different employers, end-user or mother-ship. Currently and happily working for a mother-ship as a project manager for fire alarm installations.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

I am a lawyer, sole practitioner, with similar practice areas to Shiner, though I add in a few things. I also do wills, bankruptcy, some small biz/real estate, and guardianship/conservatorship, which really falls into my family law category.

My other job is as a fully certified ski coach/instructor, and I run a kids ski program on weekends in the winter time. I love that job as well, and it provides a good balance to the human tragedy I often deal with in my lawyering. It also buys the family ski and recreation privileges and some good company benefits I do not have access to as a self employed lawyer.

Needless to say, I am also a full time Dad, musician, etc., but none of those are jobs.

Here is a flyer describing the ski program, which was my brain child and a labor of love:

 

[piebaldpython]

US Fed Gov't since 01/03/77......have been a claims authorizer for the past 25 years......I basically make sure that the RIGHT people get their Social Security checks and that they follow the rules and that they submit the proper proofs so that we can pay them.

 

[Kazz]

Process Coordinator for deregulated Natural Gas Supplier who happens to supply gas in Strum's neck of the woods as well as Voods too I believe...depending on if Vood is a National Fuel or National Grid customer and not Con Ed.

We sell gas in most of Ohio, 2 large areas in New York and Mid to Northern Indiana. We just recently exited the market in Georgia as the risk outweighed the reward.

Basically I examine other departments processes and streamline them. I am also gifted that I can speak technical and layman so I am often called on to translate between all our other departments and our IT department.

On the side I do computer repair and custom builds, networking and repair/modding of ipods and tivos.

 

[oldguy]

My job is much like Street Music's. I use GPS to stake grades for a construction company.

 

[duhvoodooman]

By night I am a crime fighter.

What a coincidence! By night, I'm a criminal! At least, my wife says that what I do to a song on my guitar is a crime....

 

[Lev]

I am a Unix systems engineer.

Me too!! :beer:

 

[Ro3b]

I'm a Program Assistant at a large nonprofit science advisory institution you've probably heard of, my little branch of which focuses on atmospheric sciences and climate change. I handle meeting and travel logistics, maintain websites, put out newsletters, edit reports, and suchlike. About a third of my income comes from gigging and teaching, though.

 

[Suhnton]

English teacher in Japan. Mostly to kids (from 2 years old to Junior High).
Which means I get to sing a ton of kids' songs and do weird dance actions and stuff. High tolerance to self-embarrassment required, but it's kind of fun.
