What's your occupation?

[sisco]

I'm curious to learn what y'all do to support this and your other hobbies.
(I did do a search for this topic, couldn't find any evidence that this subject has come up before; if it has point me in the right direction!)

Myself, I've worked for the same company for 27 years - a fossil fueled (coal) power generation station. Worked rotating shifts for most of those years as a control room operator. Last July I took the salaried position of Database Coordinator; straight days, weekends & holidays off.

Since my service in the USAF and honorable discharge after the Gulf war in 91, I have always made my living in professional sales. First as an electrical sales engineer in the automation and control industry. After 9 fairly successful years I began to get frustrated as I watched too much of the local industry moving its manufacturing outside of our own borders to "save a few dollars" at the expense of our own local working class.

Fortunately I "lucked" into an opportunity at my ex-father-in-laws car dealership 10 years ago. That lasted right up to my divorce when I had to look for another job, but lucky for me I learned alot and found that I truly enjoy selling cars.

I am currently working with a dealership in Canton, Ohio, as a sales manager. Our new car lines include Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Jaguar, Porsche, Mazda, VW, and Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge.

Cheers,
Brian

Warehouse Manager/Delivery Coordinator
OK, now the real truth. I work for a large paper company that just this last summer opened up a new location where I live, so I take care of the shipping, receiving and drive truck for the deliveries because I am the only one employed on the back side of the business so far. There is a manager, 2 sales people and me; and the management and sales people are rarely ever there. My official title there is Warehouse.

I'm a construction site safety manager. I work for a construction management company and they hire me out for various projects. Currently working with an electrical contractor on a data center project, which should carry me till the end of February. Prior to that I was with the primary electrical contractor on a multi-billion dollar semiconductor project. That project lasted 14 months. Before that I worked as an electrican.
My primary hobby is my smokin and a new found use for my gas grill, roasting coffee and seeing if my palate can pick up the nuances of single origin coffee's from around the world.
Good food, good coffee, good golly I think I'm on to something here.
