What does everyone do for a profession?

I agree. Let’s get this ball rolling again! We’ve added hundreds of new Meatgistics members, so let us know what you do/did for a profession. Also, don’t forget to put yourself on the MAP!

I don’t think I ever added myself in this thread.
I am a Director at a self-regulatory organization for the US derivatives market - specifically OTC Derivatives (Swaps Dealers). My team is responsible for all system development and project management as well as data analytics and reporting for my department. My department is only 10 or so years old and was formed to implement the regulatory program for Swaps under the Dodd-Frank Act. The company also regulates futures/commodity registrants and also provides regulatory services for some contract markets. My education is Accounting but most of my work experience is in IT development after a start doing Compliance Audit.

Jamieson22 I read your post and even though its a different sector all I can think about are clips from The Big Short.
Its interesting how so many people in this community have such a varied background.

Long haul trucker for 35 years then they started drilling gas wells around my house in PA so I got off the road and spent the next 10 years hauling frack water to fracking gas wells for the gas company’s Now I hunt and fish and make meat sticks…LOL

We send a lot of containment well cellars to PA for drilling. If you have hauled any water to an EQT, Cabot, Southwest Energy, Anadarko, or Chevron pad, you have crossed paths with some of our stuff.

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.
Hey Mike… I’m a retired cop & veteran.

Retired157 I’m a retired prof and research manager and have been retired for 28 years and I’m so busy I wouldn’t have time to go to work now. Sure hope the USA border opens so I can go to Alaska and fish for sockeyes this coming July

Retired small town Police Chief (30 years) Also own and operate Security business installing security cameras, access control and alarm systems. I had to take early retirement due to medical issues. Now enjoy the forums and making all types of snack sticks, sausage, brats and anything else I can put into a smoker. I just recently finished converting a large commercial refrigerator into a smoker.

ND Mike yeah I’m working 12hr nights and saw this. So I reread the whole thing and enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. At least it’s off to a good start.
