Well for 40 years I was a professional photographer but for the last 20 I have been running a digital color print department for a direct mail outfit.

I started out in '86 being an Electrician's apprentice. After my 4 years of apprenticeship was over I got my journeyman's card and started going out on jobs with an apprentice of my own.
I've had some hard times in the past, like in 2001. When we had no work coming in. But this last one. (started in 2006 for us) When I had to make my house payment with a credit card, that's when I had to try something else.
Talking with one of my customers (http://camco.net/) about my situation, they offered me a job. I thought there's no way I could stay in one place and be happy, let alone the fact I would work myself out of a job in a few years.
Never did I think after 6 years I would still have a job and be so happy. Now I have 2 other Electricians working for me as well as overseeing electrical projects in our other plants.
I am truly blessed.

Hi,

I worked most of my career in computer technology. Now I work in broadcast television as a technician for an affiliate of the PBS Television Network in the USA.

I'm also a NRA Instructor, and in process of launching a company to teach handgun and rifle safety and the North Carolina Concealed Carry Handgun course.

After 37 years as a carpenter and construction superintendent I retired in July of this year. I spend my time working in my shop and on my bicycle in between trips to the range. I may even try making some grips.

I own my own business, wholesale /retail fruit and produce. Also own and operate a commercial tree fruit orchard. Long hours, unpredictable seasons due to weather, but very recession resistant. People need to eat frequently it seems and the product has a way of turning to crap once used so needs to be replaced often

I work on "things" and "stuff" at a nuclear powerplant, actually the largest boing-water-reator in the country... I really shouldn't talk about them online but I get to see some neat stuff for sure!

A good friend of mine works on 'things and stuff' at TMI. Interesting work from what I've heard. He likes PWR work better than BWR since your turbines are 'hot'.

Yes sir, I've heard that from many people who work on PWR's... Our turbines definitely throw dose as they do run 'Hot' but are well shielded. I have seen things that only a few handful of people in the world get to see, working in a nuclear reactor is like walking around in the biggest engine I've ever seen, if you're into science and engineering it is fascinating :-)
