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

32 years of being a saw dust sucking carpenter, tell your kids don't be a carpenter !

 

I'm an auto and light truck mechanic for the local law enforcement department. Before that I worked for a small independent auto repair shop for 12 1/2 years, before that I worked at local G.M. dealers for about 13 years.

 

started out as newspaper boy , deli man , consrtuction helper , ny state bricklayers apprentiship program , mason , carpenter , tile man , ny city operating engineer , property owner developer now...good thread !!!!

 

Nothing really;...been retired since 12/31/06. Do frequent pin-striping and lettering jobs out of my garage/shop;....but nothing other than that. I'm very fortunate!

 

WAY underpaid CNC router operator for a small local clock factory. Before that I was an automotive technician for 20+ years and I'm getting ready to go back to it. I hate my job. Not so much the job but the owner of the company - and his replacement (his son) is an even bigger piece of shit.

 

I'm a journeyman electrician.. Pays ok,but kids stay in school!

WOW, you folks on the HAMB sure have some some great careers and the knowledge to go with them. I have sold newspaper advertising since the late 70s until I retired 4 years ago. Got to be honest, it was a great career until the internet came along, I really enjoyed it. Since I've been retired I tell people "I have so much to do I don't know how I had time to work" My best advise to anyone beginning a career is find something you love and persue it, it makes working fun.

Im an industrial maintenance electrician. I repair and trouble shoot machines with plc and relay logic (which I hate) and the day to day electrician requirements of conduit runnning and wiring, etc. Sometimes I wish I had chose a career in the autobody trades.
