I'm a charter pilot. Great job, but can get old quickly. I enjoy seeing the world but as Chillin wrote, "just can't wait to get home(and for warmer weather) to get on the bike and forget about work!"
What do you all do for a living?....

I am a gigolo, aka male prostitute, aka man for hire.
Unfortunately, due to the recently economic down turn, I have worked for the same PVF Company (Pipe, Valve & Fittings) for the past 14 years and currently am the Warehouse Projects Manager for the Regional Distribution Centers.
But I am sure the gigolo empire will take off any time…..

For the past 23 years I was a Victorian Police Officer, 16 years in a covert environment. Now I'm a stay at home dad (Domestic Engineer) glad to be away from the politics and BS.

I am an electronics design engineer. It is pretty cool, and it pays well. But what I really like about it is that, if there is a need that a piece of electronics can solve, I may very well be able to design that piece of electronics.
I know, I know. "No kidding, that is what your boss pays you to do." Well, that is true. But I have a few ideas bubbling in my head not related to what I design from 8-5. And if I get the resources in place, I can design, and hopefully patent those on my own time. Then I make all the cash off the design.
Hopefully, within the next year or two, I can get to work on the side on a couple of my own ideas. I am holding out hope that that will be my key to early retirement.

Currently a biochemistry major student. I was in the US army for 4 years and now I just live off my post GI bill, so definitely no need for a job as San Francisco BAH is way high. I get paid to go to school!

I was an airline pilot for 29 years. Finally hated being away from home so much that I took an early retirement at age 57. Gonna move to Lake Havasu, AZ, sit on my boat, drink beer and watch the ladies. It's gonna suck, but I'm goin' for it anyway!

I'm a Technical Care Representative for Verizon Expert Care. I actually work for a company which handles different accounts for extended warranty plans, and I work in the Verizon department. My company also handles Best Buy, Walmart, Kmart and a lot of other extended warranty accounts. The company is growing, and is doing well even in a poor economy, so I'm pretty lucky, I guess.
Yes, I work at a call center. NO, I'm not a telemarketer. People call me to service TVs, computers, or telephones. Job's not bad, and I can get on the internet when I'm not on a call. It's usually not very busy, so I run out of things to do on the internet sometimes. The pay's not great (still getting paid hourly), but the benefits are pretty good. Insurance, a good amount of paid vacation, very flexible hours/days off, are all perks. Plus, there is a lot of room for advancement, and there are always new positions opening up.
I don't know how long I'll stay at this job, but I don't have a college degree, and I really don't want to go back to school, especially since I can't go back until I get the school I attended paid off. However, I'm only 24, and I guess I have plenty of time to decide what I want to do. I would love to find some sort of networking or computer hardware job, (even though my options may be limited by my lack of a degree) but I could also just move up in this company and be paid pretty well. I do like this company, and I wouldn't hate my job if I stayed. So I guess I'll just keep on trucking and see what happens.
P.S. Sorry for being so long-winded, here, guys. Just trying to figure out what I should do.
