College career counselor and teacher. Prior to this gig I have been a middle school teacher, high school teacher, college teacher, and state education administrator.
During the summers when I wasn't teaching I built houses and in my earlier years did some mechanic work and machine tool work. Kinda of a jack of all trades.

I cant think of a good job title, other than handy man or odd job, as I do so many random things, so I’ll just list.
Electrical
Plumbing
Networking
Computer repair
Car Fix’in
Truck Driver
Manager
Accountant
Boiler Maintenance
Pneumatic Machinery maintenance
Building maintenance
Roofer
And other things that don’t come to mind
I work for my dad, I’m not a professional in these fields but I get the job done.
Ohhhh almost forgot my favorite job theater stage lighting and sound, but I don’t get to do that too much anymore.

I spent 16 years in the maintenance of large scale computer systems, including the early vacuum tube models. During this stage, I was a Senior Field Service Engineer, Quality Control Supervisor, Manager of Technical Services and National Field Service Manager. Then greed set in and I spent 16 years in Corporate Sales selling computer maintenance contracts to corporations as a Senior Sales Rep and Sales Manager. I am now engaged in a career that suits my talents exactly - I am retired.
