What Line Of Work Are You In

Take my hat off to you. I kinda get the idea that these days as a teacher you have choice of murder or suicide on a daily basis.
Thanks but I really love what I get to do everyday. Don't get me wrong there are many challenges and changes in education that make some days tougher than others. I'll say this, working with the kids is much easier than the adults.
 
I do excavation takeoffs and GPS machine control models….. so I figure how much earth has to be moved for a project and then build the file modern earth moving equipment use to leave the ground accurate to grade.

Also do custom pond and lake design and consulting.

I'm an electrical engineer. I work for a medical company that among several things manufacturers implantable medical devices including pacemakers and implantable cardio-defibrillators (ICD's). I develop test programs that test integrated circuits (a.k.a. computer chips) that are used in our end products.

rdog, where are you on the Sunshine Coast? I plan to be living in Caloundra in the next few months....
 
I am a retired Registered Nurse. Worked 42 years in the operating room! What a place to work!

I now have time to devote to a passion I have to serve my Lord, Jesus Christ. I am a pilot and feel led to begin a pilot service for humanitarian and relief flights throughout the USA. The US is one of the largest and most neglected mission fields in the world. My flight service would allow us to get to many more areas of need.
One big road block-- we need an aircraft. If you have an aircraft that needs work to be airworthy or know where there may be an abandoned aircraft that needs help, please contact me. We would love a donated aircraft and also we are going to need mechanics, pilots and administrative staff to help get us where we need to get to safely.
Feel God's blessing on you that can help us with our mission.

You have to test ride all of your boards to be sure they are wave worthy?!
Looks like a bunch of fun! I would do myself in if I tried to ride one of those.
So, I will just watch you enjoy the waves!

What kind of wood work did you do
 
Early part of my career was on the railroad. Labourer for a while then train dispatcher.

Started as an entrepreneur in my early twenties and did everything from restaurants to semiconductors. Newsflash: there is a lot more money in semiconductors than restaurants;-)

Sort of retired since my mid 30s, twenty years ago. Still work, just don't get paid.

Very cool stuff. I learned about how this works a bunch of years ago kind of at random - neat!
 
I’m beginning to wonder how many of us really have a job as we’re on AH day and night.
hahaha
I am sure some are retired.
