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

Started as Landscaping, got into construction, can run some machinery, have at least some knowledge of just about anything that goes into building a house. I can set a modular home like nobody's business

Then I went into doing accounting for a commercial real estate firm for 2 years

Now I handle customer returns for a very large online retailer.
 
I did all kinds of manual labor until recently. Laborer, ditch digger, hod carrier, plumber, leather craftsman, phone tech, baker. My longest stint was a phone tech for 26 years. I love working hard in a physical way. Now because of a bad ankle I can't do it anymore. I have a sit down credentialing heathcare specialists. I am grateful to have a job and also grateful that I got to spend so many years working hard.
 
Sr. Computer Systems Engineer. I've always been a nerd. My kids say I'm a nerd, my wife says I'm a nerd. My friends from philly (originally born and raised) call me the Square from Delaware. I'm also a Veteran. 13 years in U.S. Army. Served during the Gulf War.
 
I was able to get a great shot of my main boat the other evening. This is what occupies the majority of my work hours:

Well by trade I am a superintendent (construction management) or I order material & tell people that have built houses longer than I have been old enough to work, how to do thier job.

An old coworker used to refer to it like a musical conductor, only to the beat of hammers and heavy machinery, & blue prints are our sheet music. Lol, it's actually pretty accurate, I orchestrate the building process from foundation to roof & turn it over after inspection of the rough in.


However, recently I became incorporated as my own entity and run my own small business, it's an LLC. I handle the paperwork through the DMV/ Department of Game & Inland Fisheries / & the courts, for public & Private Storage facilities, mechanics, and the general public when they need to file for title on abandoned or auctioned property.

I've also recently taken on a few other things like assisting a few other small businesses become incorporated or simply register with the state.
And manage two young ladies who act as registered agents for them until they can hire their own. This doesn't pay a whole bunch, but it pays.

And I started a full time college schedule this fall semester.
