O/T Curious what all you hambers do for work?

Was a Ford Mechanic. Started in 74 and left in 98 with a dissability.

 

Loan Officer at a sperm bank.

 

Do you just broker the deals or is this direct deposit?

 

That's what all IBEW retired electricians do. Some need to re-aprentice as at either WalMart, Costco, or SAMs Club first.

 

I work in the electrical engineering field of the Marine Corps. It allows me to understand electrical wiring and basic engine diagnostics.

Those are really unique nice looking trophies.
Well done.

 

I remember doing glass work at Nestle. Employees would throw in bags of chocolate bars in my work truck, when I was working somewhere else on site.
Pleasant surprise when I left.
These type of stories is why I love what I do.

 

I have owned and operated a Hot Rod and Speed shop for the last 30 years. Before that I owned a chrome plating shop. Before I was self employed I worked in a machine shop, a mechanic shop, and a salvage yard. Plus I pumped gas when I was in High school.

 

I always thought it was "Skip Tracer"? But I guess you actually are Chasing them!

 

I'm basically a secretary/parts runner/ and whateverelse needs to be done for my Dad here at Steve Cook Creations. Sometimes I actually do bodywork, work on cars. But it's fun and most days I love what I do, I mean, I get to be around Dad, and the crew, and work on some of the nicest cars on the planet, so that's a plus. And.. I get to drive my wagon everyday to run parts, that's a HUGE plus to me.

 

Job super for a general contractor.

 

At age 72 I have been retired 7yrs. In my life time I was a textile worker, truck driver, dock worker, auto upholster, CocaCola route salesman, combat paratrooper with 101st Airborne(66-69).

Retired with a hobby/business that keeps me busy and makes chump change, less than minimum wage.
I was a lithographer and graphic designer.... even had my own business. In my day I could spot a wrong font semicolon at 20 paces. Just about everything in lithography is done under magnification so it's perfect to the naked eye. This "training" tended to make me hyper critical enough that I just about attempted to do everything myself. Usually things turned twice as good but took 4 times as long.

 

Carpenter, soldier, carpenter, sign man, crane operator, registered nurse, carpenter, sign man/crane operator, carpenter/contractor, semi-pro vintage bike rebuilder/restorer.

 

I'm seeing a trend on the Carpenter line, I always came back to Chef'en.

 

definitely a hands on type of job.

 

Still got all my hammers, can't hardly grip em anymore.

 

I make sawdust.

 

For the last 10 years I've been making sure a bunch of GREAT / SKILLED IBEW Controls guys have Work and Material to do their job.
My old jobs B4 they twisted my arm was DDC SCADA Controls Specialist and later Energy Engineer....
Saved tons of Energy during the day so I can burn it in my Hot Rods later!

 

Soon to retire after 22 years as a in building maintenance for a school district in NorCal. Hope to do more of this (I'm the Harmonica player) http://www.blues.james-creative.com/

 

Project Manager for a contractor.

 

I hem jeans and repair purses. ------------------------------------------When I`m not doing car interiors.

 

Mechanic at Harley dealership, and owner of a small town cafe.

 

Retired Lockheed Manufacturing Engineer - worked on all of the neat airplanes made in Marietta, GA from the transports, C-130, C-141, C-5B &C-5M to the fighters, F-35 and F-22. I spent twenty years on the F-22 Raptor.
After 2 years of retirement I can say that retirement doesn't suck, until you fall off a ladder and break your arm.

Now I have to wait out the healing period until I can use both arms to get back to work on all of the projects I saved for retirement.

 

Like the"Hot Rod" in the background too.Get well soon.Broken bones suck.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.
