What do you do for $$$?

I was just wondering what every body does for a living. I work rigs in the foothills of northwestern Alberta & northeast B.C.

Ryan, just courious, do you happen to know a short little Italian guy by the name of Valario Gioretta? (Usually went by Val). He had worked for RTD, based out of Edmonton, then was out in BC where he was working for INDT. He moved back to Alberta (I believe Edmonton) about 3 years ago. He was a fanatic when it came to ultra-lite aircraft. Thanks, Gord.
