What do you do for a living???

O/O truck driver, yes disappointed both of my college grad parents, my mother passed so I guess she's over it, I think my dad in some way sees the freedom of not being chained to a office. I run local home every night bumping steel to the next process or a converter, I step out every once and a while (go further) when things are slow or I get bored. Moving my lease to a new company still pretty much the same job different faces and places, so you guys keep buying sheet steel, plate, appliances, cars, trucks, duct work, or any other stamped steel pieces and I will keep pulling them out of the strip mill and heading your way.
 
I work for our family construction business. I have pictures of me as little as 4 years old helping my dad pour concrete or at a job site with him. Carpentry is what I've always wanted to do. I never was interested in school. I always worked summer during elementary school and high school but have been doing it since I graduated going on ten years. I'm also going to try to get my contractors license at the end of this year.

I work in the Oil Sands in northern Alberta. The place that gets a bad rap from tree huggers, Neil Young, and the likes. My job is Reliability Lead in a 120,000 bbl/day Heavy Oil Upgrader.

Also my wife and I have owned and operated a custom saddle shop for the last 18 years. Exclusively ranch and working saddles. Here is a pic of 7 saddles we just delivered last month to the Govt of Canada. They are going to Banff and Waterton National Parks for the Park Rangers that patrol the Rocky Mtn trails.

I could arrange to retrofit 2 of these in anyones C body in place of front buckets. Just let me know your butt size.

I'm riding my cars just with a blanket, like the Indians. ;)

Hope I don't disappoint you. I have three degrees (you already know this). Last full time gig was with Lockheed Martin Aerospace pushing stacks of inane paperwork (warning:that's what happens when you degree all up). I worked on the Littoral Combat Ship effort and the Aegis AN/SPY-1 radar maintenance program. I was in management and they made me sign NDA's out my nose for the position. Currently working part time for a boutique capital investment firm as a research associate. I gather technological, demographic, cultural, & anthropometric data. I decypher it, parse it all out, and glean from it recommendations provided to firms clients. I need to be completely immersed in what I'm doing or I can't do it...which is one of the reasons I left LM. Just about everything I have ever done has been dichotomous in nature, which includes my background and interests. I have never followed the traditional career path. It is a blessing and a curse.

I work with a guy who used to work for Lockheed and affectionately calls it the Evil Empire.
 
I have noticed one common denominator.
No one here has said they belong to a Country Club...

But of course. What was I thinking.
Have to keep the Vette dust free for the Sunday car show.
