I started out driving a school bus. All kinds of fun there...off to college for a couple of years then off to the Air Force...for 20 years. The last 11 years I have been teaching high school history and coaching our girls golf team...and enjoying the country life.

Nice website! I envy you owning a bike shop.After 20 years of managing a retail fitness store for several bosses. In late October I bought a couple bike shops. I am finally by own boss...
Cycle Werks bike and Fitness shop.
My "other" job has been becoming a "gentleman farmer" may have to be scaled back due to how much work has to be done in the spring for bike shops. But I still love my tractor and my garden.

I have been driving trucks, everything from a single axle right on up to my current job hauling B trains (24 years at it and still going strong) for the past 46 years. This year in November will be my 30th year at this company. The plan is for me to work until I die.
But please remember, I take the winters off.

I finally settled on one career I can retire from. This year will be 10 years as a pharmacist. Was the 2nd oldest in my class since it took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to do. The only reason I went to pharmacy school was because 10 years ago, there was a high demand for pharmacists in the RGV (my home) and I was tired of living in Houston. Didn't know a thing about pharmacy when I started. Came out of school with a decent livelihood and a wife (well actually girlfriend, married 2 years after graduating).

what an interesting subject; and wide range of experiences. just like america!
most of my time i was a consultant, all over USA, Europe, far east, eastern block, and down under.
since, i have developed some of my land into over 200 building lots, general contracted over 100 houses. contracted and overseen a custom fishing boat, took it fishing when it was finished for 38 months in several countries, and through the panama canal twice.
now i want to grow organic foods due to an allergy of preservatives and chemicals in grown foods. researching the "right" tractor to mow, snow removal, till and/or plow, cultivate, move dirt and gravel.
this tractor choosing is very tough. in boating it was called footitis. every tractor has limitations. when is enough, enough?
wish i had experience and skills of engine/mech repair, and welding, as stated here!

I'm happily unemployed. I still do a few management consulting projects here and there and have real-estate, but have folks that do the day to day. I'll go back to the grind at some point... When working I'm a ceo.

I have 2 higher end rentals and love them. Im super picky in choosing tennants, and so far so good. I like the fact that rental income doesnt count against social security, and im getting a way way better return on investment then banking this money.
