I currently work landscaping, mainly lawn mowing, but I have done irrigation, patio/walkway construction, and pruning. All these jobs are considered seperate in the company, but as work slows in one area we can move about helping the other crews. Been doing this for the past 5 years

Sheet metal man. HVAC and architectural sheet metal for 10 years now. Good money. Even when you have no money, you find some when you need the heater on.

I am self employed mechanic. Was a body man by trade, but got burnt out on that. I still do some body / paint work from time to time, but not into doing it day in, and day out. I work on everything from Harleys, Kias to Peterbilts. Have built chip trailers, turned tractors into dump trucks, and log trucks. Shortened, and stretched trucks. You name it I have at least atempted to repair it!

morrow07, Same is true for your car, if you cant get to work you have to spend some $ on your vehicle.
As far as if I need my heat on, I work on my furnace myself most
times.

I'm an environmental technician

I take soil and water samples
And design, install and maintain remediation systems that decontaminate soil and water , usually at gas stations that had large leaks from their underground storage tanks

These systems pump water from wells in the contaminated area , remove the petroleum from the water and discharge the water back into the ground or into the municipal sewer

And these systems also inject compressed air into the ground in other deeper wells to help evaporate the gasoline
And also have vacuum wells to capture the vapor caused by the compressed air and draw the vapor to a giant catalytic converter to cook it off

Lots of wiring , plumbing , air compressors , water pumps , filters , computers to run it all etc

Most of the time I'm the guy running the excavator to bury the pipes and also the mechanic handyman that keeps the systems running

If you see these in a gas station parking lot
They had leaky tanks

If there's a cargo trailer or a shipping container  with lots of hoses and buzzing and hissing sounds , it's active remediation

I know in our town theres now 3 gas stations two are bp the other is royal farms. There used to be two more that were owned by non American Indians. They passed the business through family for a few years then they up and left. No one ran The stations since and the tanks were pulled and one had to have the cargo trailer parked for a good bit of time. I always wondered who paid for that since the owners are no longer around.

One used to live behind my moms, nice people but they left a few years ago and for some reason they still haven't sold that house either

I work in a fabrication shop, building industrial concrete cutting equipment. Wolverine/Concut in Kent, Washington. When you see the circular rings in the concrete at a stop light (the magnetic ring that triggers the light), I'm the only guy in the country that assembles the tool to cut those circles.
I need a raise....
