Just curious as to what everyone does for a living. I was a CNC operator for about 10 years, but now am a manual machinist for American valve & hydrant.

Carpenter here. I've been self employed since 1989.

I bet that has alot of perks!

I work for an airline, well it used to be 2 airlines but now we're just one big happy family...( not!)
So this means I am the well dressed guy you see staring forelornly at the planes as they pull away from the gate WITHOUT me on board. I used to work as a tech part time for KTM, Triumph and Ducati as well but when the economy went south so did the work and I have just never gotten back into it. 13 hour days get old after awhile.

Mad

Trainer - Bosch power tools. Sub Sahara Africa

In the IT game for most of my life.
I take care of our companies national channel partner base throughout Australia.
Use to like the traveling aspect but it sucks now.

Ha ha.
But retiring to Queenstown New Zealand where we have a house at the end of the year.
No more corporate work for me...

I am a freelance problem solver. For the last 12 years I've been employed by a titanium conversion facility to put out its various fires which beset quality. Most of them personnel related.

I'm a problem solver at home alot. Glad someone actually gets paid to do it.

LOL I have some problems here you might be able to solve for me.

I was an illustrator for 9 years (in a previous life). I was self employed and made a living at it. Sure wish I woulda stuck to that.

Rook, everyone has highs and lows in life. I truly hope there's a trampoline waiting there for you when you need it. Best wishes brother.

I am in Healthcare at our hospital, specifically Cardiac Imaging. It being a 24/7 operation, I got to design my work schedule which includes 10 hour shifts and lots of weekdays off for riding

Been doing if for going on 20 years and love it. It can be very challenging, but if it was easy everyone would do it.

Don't get overweight and don't smoke is my advice to avoid seeing the likes of me!

Thanks NastyN. Who cares what color my parachute is. Where the f**ck is the trampoline!

Professional inner tube sharpener.

Professional mind fucker^^

Software guy for energy industry. Software development is a good job, but working in the energy sector has its ups and downs as well evidenced recently. I did survive our obligatory layoff :)

Oh wait, you said "what" pays the bills...that would be my wife, shes a lawyer.

Haha! My wife is a teacher.

Air Traffic Controller employed by the federal aviation administration (FAA).....25 years next month....

I write, therefore I am!
I read a lot, make it my purpose in life to raise my kids right and I ride a motorcycle in true kamikaze fashion.

I have held many cool jobs, but looking back my work in a supermax prison was by far the most rewarding.

Currently I have been recruited by the Kingsman.

Just a couple of things I do for a living, my two main jobs that pay the bills and finance my toys. I do a lot of odd jobs on the side as well, everything from wrenching on bikes to carpentry work. I work hard and ride even harder.
