My last few full time job was actually grave digger and cemetery grounds keeper. I left due to poor pay and crappy management.
Currently I am self employed. I buy auto parts and cars from scrap and junk yards for cheap. Then I clean and rebuild the parts and then resell for a small profit theough car forums, ebay and craigslist. I also do mechanical work for friends in the car club. Last project was a right hand drive s14 Nissan 240sx that is currently being used in drift races.
Was a Jail Officer when I first joined, but jumped ship last summer, and now build cockpits for UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopters. Switching soon to be building the newly redesigned Marine Corps helicopter AH-1Z Viper (or Super Cobra).
Not working right now, been off a year, because the company I worked for likes to screw around and they know I'm wise to it. And I'd go back there if I can get them to let me. Money is great. But they bust your butt.
Own and run a coffee shop/bakery at the moment,had a welding/fab shop for 8 years, metal detecting is much more profitablenone of the above brings more sanity than detecting!
I run the Kalamazoo Michigan branch of an industrial distributor of bearings, belts, sheaves, sprockets, seals, linear motion, and power transmission equipment, parts, and accessories.
I served 8 years in the Army on M1 Tanks, got out to raise a family after marrying my hometown girl and have been a Steelworker in a Baltimore steel mill for the last 16 years.
I work for a wholesaler in the marketing and IT departments. I also own a small business creating inexpensive flyers for customers, tutoring them on computers (especially seniors) and doing computer repair/maintenance.
As the weather gets colder, I find myself "lusting" after coin drawers and the "good stuff people spend at face value" -
When I'm not doing that, I'm flying a King Air 350 for a local company. Did 20 in the USAF; avatar is one of my old "rides" - then about 13 years flying airliners, and now corporate.
Have been blessed to do what I dreamed about as a kid -
