Question How do you fund your PMS?

Just wondering what everyone does for a living. I bet we have a very deversified community here. I work in the Telecommunications industry. I'm a Central Office Technician. I've been a Soldier, Mechanic, Facility Manager and Project Manager, but what I do now is what I should have been doing all along. You'll never get rich working for the phone company, but it pays the bills and leaves a little for PMS.

Machinist/Toolmaker by trade. Have worked for the same company for 24 years and am now their Day shift production supervisor. We build complete oil drilling and recovery systems. Everything you need to find it, drill for it and get it out of the ground. The wife works for the same company as an IT Tech. I spend her money.

What do you do to fund your PMS

BEG, BORRY, but wouldn't steal.

Food Service Sales for a broadline distributor. I have customers from Hunstville, Alabama all the way down to Panama City, FL. some are big some are mom and pops just trying to live the American Dream.
eventhough I am in FS sales, my degree is in Criminal Justice, to be more specific, Accident reconstruction, with a minor in Fire and Explosions (not putting them out, but the trace evidence side) Food Service Sales pays better.

I'm a cellular Field Test Engineer 5 days a week, and a Citizen Airman in the Air National Guard at least one weekend a month, and any other time they need me. It's funny that this came up, because I just changed my avatar today. Got kind of tired of the "can you hear me now" guy, which is sorta what I do...

Two way radio technician here, I make sure the RF and dispatch console side of things continue to work in two counties. I travel all over the state going to tower sites, and working in some ugly places. Sometimes we go just a little out of state, but not often. I also maintain a bunch of trucks at work.

Wow! Mike and Joe in the Telecom business, small world! I'm the Senior Network Technician and "Microwave Man" for a wireless carrier. Been with them for 13 years and overtime pays for my addiction.
