As many might know, I've been selling the toys we all play
with for 14 yrs now (same dealer).
before that, sold cars for 7 years, insurance for 4 years.

before that (back in the 80s), i was a factory worker that moved into
maintenance, and even the machine shop of one factory.
I always liked taking stuff apart, and now
i usually can get it back together again too!

Like Bucktaker I am a former Aegis Fire Control Tech in the Navy. Worked as machinist/welder before that. After the Navy worked on the same stuff as a defense contractor for 12 years. After that went into data center support specializing in data protection and restoration. I am now disabled/retired and keeping busy as a handyman while building a house for my family. Many years ago I worked on my uncles farm. Am glad to be back in the seat of a tractor again even if it is a little smaller. I have one of the hilliest rock crops in NW Arkansas. It is so prolific people think I had it hauled in.

Officially, I farmed for 4 years while going to college. In reality, my dad did more work then than when I was home and in high school. But it helped pay the tuition bills better because of spreading the tax base.

I just passed 28 years with IBM as an electrical engineer, now doing mostly software testing.

I'm a project manager, we go to PWR nuclear plants and refuel them. Occasionally I go on a fuel inspection job but usually just refueling.
