Whats everyone do for a living?!?

In my early days I would tutor Einstein on physics. Later, I taught Henry Ford about mass production. After that, it was teaching Oppenheimer a thing or two about splitting atoms. As I grew older, my interests turned to music and gave some voice lessons to Elvis Presley. I was a photographer for awhile and discovered Marilyn Monroe. I mentioned to Steven Hawking about the possibility of black holes but then he stole my idea. A few years ago I came up with a social networking plan and I called it Face Pamphlet but it never took off. Now I'm retired and working on something called SkyNet.

And then you did a TV news show for NBC?????????

Early on, I went on the job site with my dad building homes, mowed lawns, caddied, washed dishes, pumped gas. I spent the better part of the summer when I was 15 working with an electrician but had to give that up when I lost my ride. Always lamented that one.

Anyway, got into excavating construction. Back then, the dozers were open station and dump trucks had at least some heat. No brainer there. That led to moving equipment which led to dump trailers which led to a lot of trucking. Throw in a couple of years for Uncle Sam. Went back to school at 30 for electronics. Industry was in a slump when I graduated so I helped a friend put up windmills for awhile until the tax credits ending killed his business in the early eighties. Worked in process control in semi-conductor manufacturing for 20 years until most of that work went to Taiwon. No work in process control or QA that paid enough so I took a CDL course for free (I had given up my commercial license when the CDL came around). Got on running doubles but did not like the company so I went to work doing wiring with a friend who ran an HVAC company. He cut back so I picked up a job hauling pole barns then hauled tires. Meanwhile, wife and I got tired of working 24/7 boarding horses so we sold and moved to KY. Did not like the offerings for driving so I picked up a QA job in areospace. As I picked up more FAA qualifications, the work load increased but the pay did not so I took SS at 62. Picked up driving a school bus for the relatively cheap medical costs. Coming up on 65 and medicare, I figure on leaving the bus gig. Along with that, I have been detailing our way too big 5000 square foot house (another story) to get it on the market to downsize to something around 1200-1500 sq feet. Also doing some flea marketing to get rid of "stuff".

I'm a project manager, engineer, programmer and head lettuce washer for all things involving instructional technologies at the University of Pennsylvania. 17 years now in the low voltage industry. Love what I do, hate commuting to the city to do it.

I did 6 years in the Air Force flying refueling tankers. I'm now on my 18th year flying for an overnight package delivery company. It is fun and rewarding, but crossing multiple time zones and alternating between day/night schedules is starting to take its toll on me. Hopefully I can hang in there for another 6 years and then I can do some real tractoring!

Oh...........your in the Order of the Sleepless Knights. I used to turn wrenches on freighters for 2 years, including US Postal planes at IAH.

I am really enjoying this thread.

But, it seems that I am doing things backwards. Many of you started out mowing lawns......I'm finishing up in the lawn mowing business......
