I started a new job back in October. I'm a painter for a company called HDT Global. I paint military trailers that carry large tents, generators, ac/heaters, and other things used by military and first responders.

Funny, I manage several online forums like this, different niche. Caregiver though mostly.

I installed floor covering for almost 18 years. Anything from carpet to hardwood and tile. Back and knees were going bad so I thought I would get my CDLs . Not a good idea. After two months my leg was just about completely limp due to a pinched nerve. So now I drive a school bus for the county board of DD. Passengers range from 6 yr old to 74-year-old.  Doesnt pay much but it keeps the lights on. These guys are a thrill to haul though. If it wasnt for them I would have moved on to something else by now.

Basically a consultant in the payment industry.
In other words, I design and deploy credit card payment systems for major corporations.  Mainly in the business to business space.  I tend to travel a good bit, 35 trips last year, so I've not been able to work much at all on my 87 Suburban.

Looks like I'm one of the rare desk jockeys around here.  Manager for a govt natural resources agency.  Years ago I used to go outside, manage plants and animals, analyze data, and write actual reports.  Now I talk on the phone, answer e-mails, go to meetings, and deal with drama.

Let me guess, your a 13 or 14?

Yup, always the case. I'm an 11 step 7. Still out in the field running around having fun. .

I am a History teacher. I teach 10th, 11th, and 12th Graders, in subjects that include World History, US History, and Government. When it comes to Economics, which I rarely have students taking, I refer to the book. I've been doing this for 13 years, and often wonder why I didn't start earlier. It's an extremely rewarding job.

I think the area in which I'm most different than others here is the fact that I lack any resemblance to a mechanic. Thank God my oldest boy got the mechanical genes from my father! He's been helping me rebuild my '87 for about two years now, on and off. I'm grateful for being able to read all your posts.

Hi Cody - fellow mechanically declined person, here.  Anything beyond basic maintenance is a learning experience for me, too.  Glad the folks here are so willing to share their experience.

That's a great career, my post is way back on #51, history professor was my other choice. But instead I went with my college major, natural resource law enforcement,,which ain't too shabby. I think we'd all be fine mechanics if we had the three necessities. Shop, tools, time.
