What do you do to feed the wife and kids?

20+ years of photography for a big aerospace company. The boss asked me to switch to graphic and web design. I said what the hell, if you've photographed one rocket motor you've photographed them all. I'm gonna ride this wave, til it dies on the beach. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
I am what is refer to now as an "Asset Recovery Specialist". Translated out of PC that means I am the AVP of a community bank and run the Collections Department. It gotten a lot more cushy than it was when I was first hired to develop the department and function for the bank. I gone from just one person to absorbing several department and I only go out to repossess the things no one else can get. I been on this job for 14 year, and worked for another bank for 15 years prior. 11 of that was in collections and 4 in computer operations.

I also farm, more hobby than for a living, and have been a Volunteer EMT for over 25 years.

As I getting older I try to spend a little more time for myself. Getting back to where I should be in my life becoming more active in my church and trying to enjoy a 9 year old granddaughter.
 
Retired since '99, from State Gov in KY. with 27 years. Since then, have mostly mowed yards for play money. The wife takes all the retirement check for bills.

I worked as a corrections officer for a while too but it was too confining. I sure do miss seeing my mother on a daily basis though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I work a salt mill producing road salt, real salt, and trophy rock. It's a great job just gets busy during the best time to be out calling. The wife works for the same company at the dairy farm they own, and takes care of both kids. Lifes good.

Police Officer for 6 years now. Nice thing about being a COP, unlike a fire guy (hoser) I don't have to be nice to people all the time. Plus I can pull that guy over that cut your truck off.

You cops are my idols!

I am a retired Educator, 35 years, former cowboy/rancher/photographer. The kids were well fed,(4) and now I watch the grandkids play ball. I shoot cowboy action in the spring, summer and fall, and hunt coyotes in the winter,.. gently.

Currently I teach school (25 years) and during the summers work as a wildland fire fighter. Last 9 summers have been pretty busy. I have also cowboyed, driven truck, laid asphalt, carpenter, ran a few cows and guided hunters. Favorite job was cowboying just doesn't pay enough bills.

yeah, but we usually meet a nicer group of people. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif

except for the druggies, and all bets are off as to how I treat them.

though I'm always careful to be REAL nice to the coppers I work with at a scene, you never know when you'll see blue lights on the ride home, and as the LEO walks up to your car you hear "Good evening sir, can I see... oh it YOU, slow the h**l down" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Pretty cool seeing what all the predator hunters do out there for a living. We're a very diverse group. I did four years in the Navy as Boiler Technician second. I was discharged as an E-5 in 1988 and started in a powerhouse for DuPont the next day. I'm now the operations specialist and contract administrator for the company's Chestnut Run Site in Wilmington, Delaware. No wife or kids.
 
Retired from the Army after 23 years and 15 years as a remodeling contractor. I am, now, the only employee and semi-retired.
 
Department Manager for Northrop Grumman Corp. supervising 60 people in 3 states who work on contracts supporting mainly DoD clients. Also retired Army. But the wife pulls at least her fair share; she also works for the same company and is also retired from the Army.
 
Retired from the Bell system in '02. In my 38 years in telecom, I was a Lineman, Splicer and ended up as an Outside Plant Engineer (Resident engineer) in Pahrump, NV. Wife still works and is the Administrator of a large Urology Medical group in Las Vegas. She commutes each weekend, as the dogs and I stay here in the "Motherland" (not the best deal).
 
24 years in Emergency Medical service. Administrator and Paramedic In Muncie, Indiana. A Great Place with Great People. Just not a great hunting location!!
