In my mind , I am a self taught Gynocologist and a colledge Sex Education teacher in my spare time ,
But reality is im just in a Maintanence Supervisor Position ....sucks I know and not nearly as interesting as a gynocologist ...
 
If only all the V's you looked at were not sickly... ^^^

Sparky here, self employed.
 
Construction maintenance
I fix contractors screw ups or find solutions when they come up with big change orders.
But recently I was put in charge of a 35mil project. So now maybe construction manager?
Don't make enough for the work I do. Hate dealing with lazy young dudes that don't have a work ethic or are just plain old stupid.
Don't particularly like my job but it pays the bills and has provided a lot of toys for me over the years.
 
For the past 20+ years I've worked doing Walmart and large Super Market Refrigeration/ Hence the name Freezerdude for the last 3 1/2 I been out of work due to a fall on the job tearing my knee all to hell! And after 3 surgerys in the last 2 years it's not much better than before and now from the limping the other knee/hip/back is messed up.. So I'm hoping this year they will repair it once and for all..
 
Sales Manager for a a large Fortune 50 multi-industrial corp. My team sells large renovation projects to the public sector based on energy related financial return. The numbers vary year to year based on what we produce. Haven't been below 6 figs in years but as high as 220k. This year somewhere in betw. The best days of my life are when we get ink on the big deal, and the worst days are when I cant keep a commitment on the big deal that was supposed to happen. So its a rush back and forth between heavenly elation and suicidal depression. Sometimes in the same day.

All this was an accident because I had planned to stack lumber at the mill for 40 years and die from liver failure.

I saw this old post and thought about the good old days at I.T. with my man Tyrone.
Now my life is simple, I work for a major oil company and between my wife and I we pull down over 200k a yr, I will admit she makes $130k of that, still my money fool..LOL

No the steel is already made into rod (certain diameter) from a foundry then sent to a forging house where we prep saw cut to length prep w/ a heat treat then coat the part. Then if its a cold forge we hit it cold & warm forge we will heat the billet up to hit it.

Yea let me know when you want to move to my state and eat free lunch every day :)
 
I watch Glycomann juggle and then eat whatever sandwiches he drops to the ground for meals. I dropped out of school in the 4th grade:(
 
I listen to teens bitching and swearing all day, and today I even had a ring-side seat for a great cat-fight. Funny and tragic thing is, it ain't over, (never is) so I'm going back tomorrow and I'll probably see them try to settle the score. Hell, we had 7 fights in one hour today, and that was during English class. Math ought-a be a rally!
 
All I'm gonna say is that I work shifts and that I do a lot of overtime (mostly week-ends). Working 6 to 7 days a week sucks when you have a family but I'm single and the money that I make pays for my travels :iggthumpu

sounds to me like you need a neck rub. I can do it on my unicycle.
 
Extrusion Technician, 4 days on 4 days off, 55k

few jobs on the side that contribute
 
I was a foreman for a scaffold company and in charge of the warehouse before getting hurt. (85k). Been on workers comp for the last 2 years. Decided to use the down time to get a degree since labor is out the window for me. Working towards a BS in Global Logistics Management from ECU. WC isn't taxable income so I get a little over 6k a year for school from financial aid. Lucky for me and my wife our bills aren't that bad so with the pay cut we manage, would be doing much better if I could get rid of her credit cards and stop buying so much shit.

Forgot to tell that I used to work as a trilingual executive secretary but working in an office was kinda boring. I worked as a medical assistant at an university hospital for a while and also for an acupuncturist before joining my current job place :o
