I am a humvee mechanic with the 300th Reserve Unit, and I work at a freight dock during the week.

I know it would not be any fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?

I'm President and Portfolio Manager for a boutique investment management firm here in beautiful Philadelphia. The firm's been around since 1949, but I've only been here since 2004. Was at Morgan Stanley for a number of years before that. Prior to that I was in an Project Manager for an environmental consulting firm in NC. We went around cleaning up dirty soil and ground water.

I work for a large aluminum company. I am the Demand Manager for my plant. I work as the connection point between Sales and Supply Chain to make sure help make sure our customers get the allocation they need while protecting the plant from over booking. Sounds boring but it's challenging on several levels. Throw in a little travel and it's a pretty good job. Home every night and most day's for lunch.

Outside plant engineer for a (very) large telecom company. I probably shouldn't say which one, but it's really big and it's not Verizon.

I install and restore hardwood floors. It's kinda cool working on brand new floors to 150 year old floors. I've been doing this for about 8 mo. now. Before this I spent 12 years driving truck. But now I have time for my four babies, oh and my wife and kid too!

[img] :laugh: :laugh: I work for the post office as a Mail processing mechanic,that is my title but we use to do alot of mill wright work until the postal management started contracting out our work. I have been there for 20 years, I spent 20 years with Bell & Howell Company as a field engineer, and now I am just biding my time and trying to keep my 1982 KZ440LTD running which seems to be a job I have messed with cars but never Motorcycles and they are giving me a fit and the parts are soooo expensive.
