What do you all do for a living?....

I ride a motorcycle, escorting funeral processions. Today I got to stop three lanes of freeway traffic with a KZ1000 and flashing lights.
 
Sabre, I wish I had your job!

I currently work at a hotel cleaning stuff.

What kind of stuff you ask? Toilets, floors, hallways, trashcans and genreal public areas. Exillerating and exciting stuff right?

I went to school for Architecture with a focus in Urban Design/Planning and finished too.

So basically I have my Masters degree in scrubbing toilets.

Damn economy.
 
I'm a pastry chef for my own online business which I'm planning to expand to a retail location within the next 5 years. My full time gig is a pastry supervisor for a Luxury Hotel in Boston. They pay me to play with food.... it's AWESOME!!:D
 
I am the Senior Server/SAN Engineer for both the wholesale energy company I work for and our parent company. I run a data center that houses them both. I am also the Exchange Admin for both companies.

When I started there, it was only the energy company and they had 9 42U racks of servers and a single SAN (Storage Area Network). After rebuilding the entire place and with the implementation of HP Blade servers and VMware's vSphere, I have virtualized enough servers to eliminate all but two racks and those are not full. I virtualized the entire parent company and they now run entirely on two blades in the center. We have two SANs and are working on a single unified SAN solution at this time and get rid of the other two.

My boss and I have a GREAT relationship. He's very technical, younger than I am and a huge motorcycle fan/avid rider. I once joked over a coffee with him.... "I can't believe I get paid this much to click NEXT!" He pondered that for a moment and replied "Eric, we don't pay you that much to click NEXT. We pay you that much because you know when NOT to click NEXT!" :thumbup:

Besides Geek and rider, I'm also a full time home remodel tech. I'll NEVER be done with this place.

I operate sub-acute rehab centers. There is nothing more satisfying (professionally) than shaking the hand and saying "good-bye" to someone who learned to walk again.
 
I manage 12, 50+ year old women who think they are victims of the "system" and are entitled. Yes, I work for the government. :thumbup:


But I was hired to re-engineer our division's business processes and transition from a 100% paper based work environment, to one that is web based, driven by on line routings, and electronic forms.

"Is that the IBM Selectric I hear?"

I love my job because I can make easy process changes and they think I'm a god.

Prototype R&D machinist use manual machines and CNC to complete the task.

Redesign parts so they'll actually work, try and teach the engineers about tolerances and how to use them:rolleyes:

My dad does this very thing. I interned at his place of employment and got to do both sides of the work; engineering and machining the parts. I can definitely say that experiencing both ends should absolutely be a requirement for any type of engineering degree.

I have an utmost respect for those in this trade, which is something that not many engineers can say, sadly.

Did you know I toured for 18 years? Not a musician but as a Swagman and tour accountant. Plenty of nights on that rollling motel listening to the humm of that engine.

Now I work for a helicopter company ordering parts, sending out repairs, inventory, pretty much keeping track of the movement of all parts and components without compromising the aircrafts down time due to no parts! Try to avoid the dreaded three letter word.....AOG....Aircraft On Ground. Ouch!

Opps, almost forgot, I also work part time as a Motorcycle Safety Instructor at the local community college here in Vegas. State certified and nationally certified by the MSF. I'm responsible for putting more motorcyclist on our roadways.

My job title is "Chief Radio Electronics Technician"

for a more detailed description of my job... see what OMG_WTF wrote. I think we must have the same job
 
I'm a State Manager of a Bearings/ Power Transmission company. Been doing it now for almost 2 years but was a sales rep with the same company for 4 years before stepping up. The GFC hasn't been too kind to our product lines so it has been the most hectic job i have had yet. Tough but rewarding.
 
I'm a respiratory therapist. RTs work mostly in the hospital setting caring for patients with pulmonary disease (asthma, bronchitis, CF, etc.) We educate patients/families, administer drugs/therapy, perform invasive/noninvasive procedures, assist in "code" situations, maintain mechanical breathing for critical patients, conduct tests, etc. An RT is kind of like a lung nurse.

I has it's rewards, but that said, as soon as my wife finishes school, I'm going to start a new career.
 
Commercial Construction Electrician been doing it for about 3 years, love it when i'm working hate it when i'm laid off. Seen some pretty crazy things like a 2500 Amp Back-Up Diesel Generator for a Fire Station, who also spent thousands and thousands of tax payers dollars to put copper sheets on the outside of the building for a "designer" look.... just a pathetic waste of money
 
I turn the wheel a few times, making sure to get people to their destination on time, or as close as I can depending on traffic, as a city transit bus driver. "I'm sorry the fare is $3, no you don't get a discount for ......, I'm sorry you missed your bus, please put your feet on the ground, Please stop talking so loud on your phone, please turn down your music, This bus isn't your house, this bus must leave on time"

I could go on, but if you ever road on a transit bus you know what I'm going to tell you, and if you haven't, you really must try it.

Been doing it for 3 years now, it really is a great job.
