What Do You Do For a Living?

I'm a Principal Network Security Analyst for Symantec. I basically try to make sure our networks and servers are secure, and that our infrastructure stays up and running so the business can keep going. In my spare time I'm workin on getting into the music business one way or another. I figure I've put 13 years into playing bass, why not try to do it for a living.

What Do You Do For a Living?

Family owned furniture store employee. Which involves opening, inspecting, fixing if needed, and then delivering furniture. I am a salesman in the store when needed, and the all around general help. We repair toilets, maintain the machinery we use, maintain and repair delivery vehicles, mow grass, cut tress, and a hundred other things that don't deal with furniture.
The best part is that we are outside most of the time! The worst part is going into some of these houses! I'm going to write a book someday about all the stuff we have seen and some of the outrageous deliveries we've made...

Ok. My education and training is in Analytical Chemistry and I work for the electric utility in Houston. We have 5 mobile labs we take to the plants and sample what goes out the stack for compliance with environmental regulations and to insure combustion efficiency.

What Do You Do For a Living?

I left my office job a little over a year ago. I was the "Manager of MIS & Telecommunications" -- basically meant I was trapped in an office 60+ hours a week and responsible for every computer, server, email system, website, telephone, etc. in the building. Now I'm a private real estate investor/developer as well as a property manager. I also hold a real estate salesperson's license. It's good to be your own boss.

What Do You Do For a Living?

I make my living installing autoglass. We do all our work on site (mobile) and I have no employees to worry about paying each friday. I also am in the farming business with my father. We raise dryland wheat and farm about 3000 acres. I know that sounds like a lot of acres but it isn't in our part of the world. The farm does give us an opportunity to work with and around a lot of Ford trucks. We still use a couple of trucks that my grandfather bought new, a 47 and 49, 2 ton along with several that we have acquired through the years. A 58 and 66 F-600, a 61 C-600, 66 C-800 and one real truck, a Mack CH 600. Most of these trucks are low mileage as we only use them 2-3 weeks per year.

What Do You Do For a Living?

I'm a general construction laborer "skilled shovel operator". I was employed by a paving contractor until Wed. of this past week when I was laid off (seasonal work) I'm now unemployed for the next 4-5 months. I'm not sure what I want to do with my life as of yet, kinda like to operate heavy equipment(which I have some experience). I'm a jack of all trades, master of none!
