Sales, applications engineering and customer servive for a tool & die manufacturing company. We make tooling for tube and pipe bending equipment... ship world wide.

Everything from small OD tube for medical applications to 16.0" pipe for the Navy. we tool automotine to aerospace (and everthing in between) applications.

Started here as a dumb pup in 1979 as a bender opperator. I do applications analysis technical support publish articles on tube bending and travel to customers facilities for hands on troubleshooting and operator training. used to be on the lecture circuit for tube and pipe fabricatinf seminars... but since 911 these don't happen much any more except at trade shows.

And (as was said earlier in this thread) whatever honey-dos my wife and family come up with....

I repair banking equipment, like currency counters, receipt printers, check scanners, paper shredders.  Different every day, I get to take things apart and put them back together, and my boss and co-workers are really laid back.

I love my job.

I am an X-ray tech. I love what I do. I have been many things in my (almost) 39 years, but my favorite so far has been a Parachute Rigger (MOS 92R) in the US Army for 9 years. Over 100 static line jumps, and an even 50 skydives to my credit. A distant second to that would be a heavy equipment mechanic for a local Caterpillar dealer for 6 years.

Manager of industrial pump sales for a large, multi-line (electrical equipment, compressors, blowers, and pumps) distributorship. Also, a journeyman machinist (in a previous life), a certificated (but not current) private pilot, and a not-too-bad amateur mechanic. Most important jobs - husband of the same beautiful woman for 51 years, father of two daughters, and grandfather of three grandchildren, all strong Christians.

Aquaculture Seasite manager - meaning I pretty much do it all, equipment service to field (well not so much field, since I'm on the ocean) repairs, manage my crew and do bull labour. Been doing this for the last 20 yrs, after leaving the army (infantry) in '94.

Basicly I farm fish for a living. Then go home and Jeep for my days off.

I am an electronic medical records specialist. I pretty much teach doctors how to use computers.

 

It's a job, i do it to pay for my car habit. I worked construction for 5 years and in a custom auto shop for 2. Decided a desk job would pay the bills without burning me out on my hobby.
