I am a graduate student studying Paleoclimatology and Geospatial Analysis. Coach a local swim team and some light farming.
I belong to the worlds most elite athletic club. It cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars just to get in and initiation was hell. On top of all that, monthly dues runs about $3000.
Hospital Admissions 3rd shift, by choice. I don't have to answer to anyone and when it's slow I can work on my own project, read, or watch TV. And since it is considered to be an "undesirable" shift they pay me extra to do it. I could have had the dept heads job when it came open but it would have meant giving up third shift and I don't want to do that. I'm a night owl and I hate first shift.
We are finite beings, limited in all our powers, and, hence, our conclusions are not only relative, but they should ever be held subject to correction. Positive assurance is unattainable. The dogmatist is the only one who claims to possess absolute certainty.
Web developer / designer. I design web sites then write the code that makes them tick. Actually finding someone who does both is rather rare. Most developers can't draw a circle, and most designers don't understand the logic of code. For those interested in knowing, I develop in PHP, Java, C++, Javascript, DHTML, and XML. I am currently studying ASP and JSP, and might get into Cold Fusion. I design using mainly Photoshop and Image Ready, but have and can use Paint Shop Pro, Fireworks, Freehand, Corel Draw, and Image Composer.
As a side line I also do advertisement layout and logo design.
Field technical representative, aerospace industry. When they cannot fix them they call me. Whats great is my boss (who I have never meet) lives about a thousand miles away so its like not even having one most of the time.

I work for my dad whom owns a plumbing business in a small resort town in California. I earn money for coins, but most importantly, for flight lessons. I'm an instrument rated pilot with only a practical test between me and my commercial certificate. I hope to be flying in the commuter airlines this time next year! Rick II
I've had great transactions with people like: drwstr123, CCC2010, AlanLastufka, Type2, Justlooking, zas107, StrikeOutXXX, 10point, 66Tbird, and many more!
Clankeye, okay go ahead and laugh. I am self employed. I own and operate a Janitorial Service and I make very good money and I hate it. What I'm really getting to hate is dealing with customers. Been doing it too long.

Please... Save The Stories, Just Answer My Questions, And Tell Me How Much!!!!!
This is a remarkable thread because after I posted my occupation (professor at University of Florida) one board member pm'ed me to say that he is a student at the University of Florida. I'd have never known this without this thread. Talk about the classic small world!
I am a registered Nurse (RN). I take care of all you people when you are ill, injured, or have abused yourselves beyond your body's own ability to cope with the situation!
I work 3rd shift in a medium sized, local hospital on the Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU is primarily a cardiac step-down, but we see a broad mix of medical/surgical patients). And, like Condor, I choose to work this shift that VERY few others will even consider, because I HATE first shift ie..... too many people getting in the way.
The only way I EVER like to see 7AM is when I'm still up. Also because I have more time to get my work done, less direct supervision, better pay differentials, I've always been more of a night person, it works very well with my family schedule, my coworkers are generally great to work with......etc. I work 3-12 hr. shifts/week, and I love my job. I like having 4 days a week off!
I'm an onsite computer support person for a large company, doing everything from desktop & server support, to networking & in house web development. Most of my day is spent fixing the emergency of the moment, with a big customer service smile!
I currently do computer support for a software company. I used to do remote circuit testing for the phone company, hopefully I can start doing that same thing here in the near future.
I have never replied to these kind of threads before. I will now. I am a Area Manager for Mail Boxes Etc Franchise in Oregon which was purchaised with one check by UPS in February of 2000. I happen to have many bosses. One of which is my father. I have done OK in earnings by selling and buying coins. I have managed to put together a Large cent collection that has been very difficult. I am Registered as Pacific Northwest Collection on the PCGS Early Large Cent Reg board.

In transition -- from sleazy coin dealer to securities trader.
The primary attraction of trading for me (aside from the long-term goal of glorious heaps of dough) is the amazing freedom offered by it -- you can sell your entire "inventory" with the click of the mouse, and you're out the door.
And, of course, no more waiting in line at the Post Office.
I'm an ecologist. I have written ecological risk guidelines for Los Alamos National Lab and ecological risk assessments for several National Labs and the Navy. I now actually practice ecology while working on radiactive waste disposal issues. I love the natural world and find our greatest hopes for preservation of our species in understanding it.

trained as a tool and die maker, currently working as a laborer/technician in a plastic processing plant because it affords me a liberal schedule. i work about 185 days a year.
Self employed, I own a restaurant equipment company, also have a mechanical contractors license. So I can do plumbing gas lines and ventilation installations. I only do that when it relates to installing restaurant equipment. Highly educated, lowly motivated. I work just enough to pay the bills and buy a few coins.

Metal heat treating for a major manufacturer in the machine tool industry. The liquid salt I work with has a temperature of 1170 degrees. I also work 3rd Shift by choice and enjoy it very much.
By day I'm the technical sales manager for a company that manufacturers electronic components. I act as the liason between the technical folks (engineering) and the not so technical folks (sales).
By night I don my Gi and teach martial arts; Jiu-Jitsu and Phillipino stick fight (called by different names such as Kali, Arnis, Eskrido, etc.)
The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
