What do you TB'ers do for a living??

I am an commercial / industrial HVAC mechanic ...

I fix stupid big heating and air systems.

I work outside in all kinds of weather ,inside in all kinds of weather . I get to drive quite a bit . I get to see a lot of interesting things. Some days I work 20 hours ,some days just 8 and some days just a few . I never really know what's coming ,the job is reactionary

The money and bennies are good . We are in short supply so that's a plus . The recession never happened for me ,other than my retirement plans took a hit but are back up again.

I enjoy it but plan on 10-15 more years then a '50s something career change in a totally different direction. just about the time my child support obligation ends....
 
Quit a systems tech position with a defense contractor, and took a 40% paycut and accepted a position as a field supervisor with a local electrical contractor so I could be home for my 20 month old little girl. One of my favorite pics:

Not Subsea 7, though I have been trying to get their business locally. I manage offshore projects for a ship agency. That last picture was taken from a dock across that channel that Subsea 7 uses as a base.

Cool. I used to bounce out of New Orleans doing marine salvage work on the gulf, mainly after Katrina, and I always enjoyed looking at that stuff. They were mainly MPSV or AHTS instead of subsea construction, but they were still awesome. And scary to try to share a channel with.
 
Hey,



So for those not playing music for a living, what is your occupation? I know there are a LOT of people on here that make a living by actually "living the dream" of playing professionally, but are there any doctors, lawyers, plumbers, bankers, or other occupational TB'ers out there???


For me, i am a college student going to SUNY Oneonta in central NY studying criminal justice. Right now i work nights as amy security guard at the Cooperstown dreams park. Basically its a baseball camp for teams that compete for the championship trophy for 15 weeks in the summer.



I really enjoy my job! How about everyone else??:D

Did you really enjoy your job on August 9th of 2012 (Thursday afternoon about 4 PM? Come on,.. think back now.... I have never in my life witnessed a thunder storm complete with quarter sized hail that continued for over an hour and a half.
Closing ceramonys were in no way shape or form gonna happen that day! What a great park! We had a blast that week! Hoping to attend this coming summer!
