Wide range of experiences, but interestingly limited ag income types. Thanks to the vets out there!

Best job looks like a toss up between "hand bra", "fireworks", and of course..."retired"!

Retired firefighter after 25 years then had a dumb moment and bought a marina. There is no such thing as nice quiet marina to operate semi-retired just a small hectic marina north of Huntsville, Ontario:thumbsup:

Have you got any covered slips for a 28' boat with 30amp hydro? Shoot me a PM if you want.

[kevinwak]

Worked on the family farm and sawmill growing up. Drove various equipment, forklifts, wheel loaders, dozers and tractors. Spent many a school age summer as a lumber piler on the sawmill.

Went to school for cabinet making, then got a job in it, and really quickly realized that I didn't enjoy doing my favourite hobby as a career.

Now a 2nd class power engineer working as a shift lead at a small SAGD oil facility.
