What Line Of Work Are You In

The new transmissions shift easy with out the clutch but I still feel them into gear like the old days. Never look at the tach.

That's why God invented ears. You learn to listen to the engine it talks to you. Once you are tuned in to all it noises you can pick up if anything is going wrong, but takes practice.

When I splat against a wall of government regulations seeming developed to sink any hope of progress, I pick myself up and develop a lateral or vertical envelopment to maneuver around those impediments to progress. When others say “Who said you can do that?” I respond “Nobody said we can’t”. Lead, follow, or get out of my way!

Mark i just read this and absolutely love it. When are you going to run for President? Or at least County Commissioner

I’m beginning to wonder how many of us really have a job as we’re on AH day and night.

 

[Macduff]

Let’s see.

I help turn money into more money while my clients are working.

After they retirement, I figure out the best way to turn that pot of money into a paycheck.

Finally, I do some planning to make sure my clients keep as much of their money as possible. Pay your taxes, of course, but you don’t have to leave a tip. I like to think I’m pretty decent at tax planning.

So yeah, I own a financial planning firm and I primarily help folks who are plus or minus five years from retirement.

I’ve done this for the last decade. Before that I spent a few years in the Army, living it up in Monterey, California.

Nice to see a man on the hooks, definitely a dying part of the trade. 32 years a power lineman in Ontario. Best trade in the world!

 

[Kiwifire111]

Started shortly after high school I started as a NZ Government Meat Inspector, qualified after 3 years but the prospect of standing on a slaughter board for the next 40 years didn't hold much appeal, so did a few different jobs and then happened to meet a couple of guys who came hunting with me and a friend. They were Firemen in our city and the deal was set.
I am now retired after 41 years a career Firefighter, I thought I had the best job in the world, but I was wrong!!! Retirement is the best job in the world!!
It's not all been rosy, but the physical and mental scars are more easily dealt with when you are your own boss. PTSI slows me down some days!!
Some days are diamonds, and some are stones!!
Now I make knives, do the required leatherwork for those knives, hunt, reload ammo and travel with my wife a GWP.
