What’s your occupation?

[Fire_9]

I’m always kind of curious what people do for work. I grew up with a dad that always worked in an industrial setting so that’s what I gravitated towards.

Currently I’m working as a Technician on a crude oil pipeline. It’s kind of an all encompassing role (electrical, mechanical, and operations) but I worked as an instrumentation technician at my previous jobs in the coal and paper industries.

So, what do you do to pay the bills?

How do you fund your Hunting?

What does everyone do for work around here? Thought it'd be an interesting thread to see what everyone does! I'm currently working as a Project Manager/Estimator for a subcontractor. We do dirt work, concrete, and underground work! I've been with the company for about a year now and am...

Fire_9, “Finally” retired! Most of my adult life I’ve worked in plant type facilities as an operator (shift work). Started in a paper mill, then on to a plastics plant (low density/high pressure polyethylene), and finally the final 26 years in a sour-gas plant producing methane!

With the present stock market crash.....I may be paying the bills using a ski mask, and nightly calls to the local “stop and rob”! memtb

I'm an ag mechanic for a family that has a dairy, heifer ranch and their own small creamery. There's always lots of work but I'm rarely doing the same thing everyday, lots of welding, some electrical, plumbing, servicing and repairing tractors...sometimes I'm scraping pens and moving cows if we are short-handed. The only bad part is I work 5 1/2 days a week and only get a week of vacation a year so my available hunting time is limited unfortunately.

Retired. Best job I ever had.

 

[duck wrangler]

I work for an agricultural supply company as operations manager/admin/inside sales.
I began installing fences in 2000, and have kept that as a side job while working in the ag industry.
The fence money helps pay for my hunting habits! I am not a huge big game hunter; mostly waterfowl which eats most of my extra $$!

29 years in the automotive field. 10 years as a technician/Service manager/store manager and the last 19 as an OEM Factory Rep. Volvo, Harley-Davidson, Nissan and now Audi. Never thought when I answered an add in the paper for "tire buster" at the age of 17 it would lead to all this. 7 homes in 7 states, 4 daughters born in 4 different states, friends all over this country... It has been good.
