What does everyone do for a profession?
-
I’m always curious what everyone does for a profession in these groups. It is always cool to see how diverse we are. I am a State Trooper and have been since 2007. Prior to that I worked many years in home construction and taught second grade right out of college.

@ndmike Amazing, truly amazing. I have been in the construction, design, building claims industry for about 45 years or so. Degreed as an Architect, but have done only building inspections (Commercial & Residential) for the past 20 years.

I joined the U.S Navy right out of high school in 1987, worked as an Aviation Boatswains Mate Handler ABH for short. I worked on the flight deck of U.S.S. ENTERPRISE (CVN-65) aircraft carrier for 6 years, got out of the service and went into heavy construction building bridges until 2001 when I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I have undergone 24 surgeries in 18 years time and I’m now 100% disabled, not because of the surgeries but the epilepsy. I now work when I can doing odd jobs to make extra money. I GO CRAZY IF I’M NOT PRODUCTIVE!!
mhighland69 Thanks for your service

@ndmike Retired teacher. I had more time to dive into my sausage-making hobby, and jumped into charcuterie as a fun way to eat well. I sub at a local Tech-Voc, often in baking and culinary courses. Learn some, teach some, have fun. In between those, I tinker with my boat and gadgets. Cheers, all, from Winnipeg.

Retired from the US Navy in 1997. Moved back to my hometown and owned a propane business. Served as Fire Chief until December 31st when I retired. Still maintain my EMT license but trying to cut down on number of calls. Great to see so much diversity on here. Glad I found Walton’s recently. Enjoy everyone’s comments/advice/recipes.

To all our veterans, you have my admiration, respect and thanks
Worked for 2 companies in a 48 year career.
Tech support, sales and management for installation and maintenance of fire alarm, telecom, datacom and fiber optic infrastructure.
Repaired equipment that had little or no local repair support ranging from employee punch clocks to commercial microwave ovens and once a CT Scanner arm a guy brought in and about everything in between LOL

@ndmike im an uneducated highschool drop out working as a maintenance technician at a semi trailer manufacturer. Dealing with 24-480 volts single and 3 phase, PLC, pneumatic and hydrualic tooling, 100TON-600TON presses, robotic welding systems as well as portable, epoxy primer and urethane electrostatic paint application systems and any other little stuff that comes up on a daily basis. Been there 27 years. Been in maintenance for 9 years. Started out painting and blasting, then when into production management but with the last slow period in 2007-2009 there were several that were let go and demoted. I was demoted back to paint and later promoted to maintenance…a definite win for me.

wdaly i was on the local fire dept for 7 years, firefighter 1, 2 and MPO. As well as some other certifications. I miss it, life just got too busy having to have 2 jobs to make ends meet. I made the sacrifice to resign so someone else could give the time it takes for a position like that.
