What does everybody do for a living??

[trailblazer87]

I am a dasher of dreams, a spoiler of profits, and waster of tax payer dollars. At least according to some of the people I meet on a daily basis. I work for the local county road department as an engineer. NO PERMIT FOR YOU!

:ban:

I've only been at it for 6 months, but I'm a claims asistant for the Dept of Veterans Affairs. Help vets with disability, death pension, burial claims etc...
Some days are good and some days are bad but that's how it is in any job I guess.

Before that I was an airframe and powerplant mechanic in the Air Force for 20 years. Worked on F-111s and F-16s mostly. Loved almost every minute of it and miss it sometimes.

BTW jstein; I commend you on staying home and raising your kids. My wife stayed home for 12 years raising the 4 we have (2 boys, 2 girls); often by herself while I was deployed here and there. I know her job was a lot tougher than any that I had in the military. Our youngest is in kidnergarten now so she works at the local Wal-Mart. The extra money does help since the kids refuse to stop growing and eating more

I'm an egress systems engineer for the Air Force, work with the explosive components that blow off the canopy, tighten the seat belts, blow the guy out of the ****pit and deploy his 'chute. Its a fun job, I travel a lot and get to blow **** up.
I'm also an Air Force Reservist, working as an Ammo troop; I travel a lot and get to blow more **** up!
Also teach a Nature photography course at the local community college.

Software engineer....I write healthcare software. Some would say it's boring work but I really enjoy it. Also, I'm a graduate student working on my MEng at the Univ of Louisville....hoping to finish my thesis sometime soon, but it's taking longer than expected.

I make Craftsman wrenches for a company that sells them to Sears.
If you have any Craftsman panel wrenches they came from the plant in Arkansas.

Yes mate were you typing ****pit, opps there the filter goes again aw ****.
We are a varied bunch arnt we. My wife also rears the children from home (we didn't want child care). It means I need to work six days a week and do a few night shifts. But is only gonna be for a few years. I love it when I come home, and the kids think I'm the best thing since the 12 hour absorbant nappy. They look so content and happy.

Mate you guys have it so sorted to us in terms of facilities. We have just recently started 24 hour PCI. Unfortunately even though I live in a good sized town 300,000 people. We do not do cardio-thoraics. Were getting there but for the NHS (national Health Servce) cash always seems to be a problem. The beauty is that its free to all.

Search and rescue winchman in the UK working for the Royal Air Force ... 18years down 4 to go

I used to work for the RAF in UK and Germany. I presently work for the Royal Netherlands Navy (as civilian), used to do electronics depot work on (communications and Radar equipment for) heli's and the Orion aircraft (NL).
Since the selling off of the orion aircraft and a major reorganisation here the aircraft/heli work has gone to the airforce in the south of Holland (I didn't want to move (again)). I now work in a department which maintains and repairs more diversified electronics test sets, which since the reorganisation include a lot of airforce stuff for heli's and F16's.

Not long till your 22 now (I only served 8 years)

By the way do you live in Doncaster or do you come from Donny?

I served at RAF Wildenrath (before it disbanded), I used to go out in Roermond too, but while I was at Wildenrath a couple of guys from my Sqn.... well I think you know the rest. Anyway after that we used to go out to Maastricht or Munchengladbach.

My Mums parents came from Hull (when it was the east ridings), and my wife's got some good friends there as well.

I was stationed at RAF "backwater" for my last 18 months, and our mother station was RAF Manston, but I believe that's been disbanded as well, and then with the Dutch Orions being sold I'm begining to think I'm a bit of a jinx.

Well the Dutch Navy's still going
