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.

 

Lie to my wife about broken parts

Edit: Dang, there goes that # mmm 3 injector.

 

Nice quote Orezona, ain't that the truth. Check out the thread in the General Diesel section-

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.

 

Part time farmer....full time truck driver (not over the road though) And in-laws that are very, very, very good to my wife and myself.....did I mention the in-laws

 

Wonder who wears the pants in that household....

 

Military for the past 12 years. I am waiting for that 20 year mark so I can retire and find a good paying job lol.

 

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.

 

Electrician.Mostly underground high voltage spliceing.for the past 20 years.

 

tractor trailer driver..haul logs down off the mountians at 100k lb ..some times with skidders hooked behind me and chains on every axle..i love winter driving..

 

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...

 

General Contractor, I mostly build commercial playgrounds and shelters/gazebos (the type you would have a family reunion picnic under) for schools, parks, government sort of entities. Not really what I went to collage for; BS in Psychology minor in Biology, Prephysical Therapy (kinda like Premed)

 

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.

 

Yep -- I got started working at a major military communication site like this one. Line of site, tropo, and satellite microwave radio stuff... I miss the good ol' days.
