What's Your Day Job?
« on: February 14, 2012, 01:55:56 am »
I've noticed that we have a lot of interesting people on this site.  I think most of us are evening bowyers and have to work a normal job.  I was just curious as to what kind of different jobs everyone has here.  Just from reading posts I know we have teachers, truck drivers, museum staff, and more.  I'm not sure what exactly Mullet does, but I know I want to apply  ;D  Any job where you get to run down wild hogs sounds good to me. 

You don't have to name a specific company or anything.  I will go first.  I work night shift at a large wastewater treatment plant.  We treat 36 million gallons a day.  It's an easy job, but when things go bad, they go really bad  :o

I'm a business student working on my Bachelor degree due this summer. Next two years I'll probably spend here in University getting my masters in some form of business or another.

I'm a Manager for Geotechnical drilling for a large Engineering company. We have offices in Florida and Louisianna. I'm also the Senior Driller so I'm always in exotic countries teaching local drillers to do it our way. Mostly Brazil and Canada. I'll be heading back to Brazil and going to Mozambique this year.

 Oh, yea, run down hogs and also the Airboat driver. :)

I'm a real estate appraiser and have been for 30 years, this Sept. It takes alot longer to do my job these days, with this economy, but I still find time for tinkering with wood some evenings and weekends.

Great thread Clintster. I sit on my butt all day staring at metal stamping die sets on AutoCAD. Most of that time is spent here and scheming about what Im working when I get home! Shhh...dont tell the boss man.
