Re: What job do you do?

Im a Bass fishing guide:<br /><br />Actually I am, but that doesnt pay the bills, not this time of year anyway. Sounded good though.<br /><br />I am personal mechanic, restoration person and property manager for a lawyer and maintain his $1,000,000.00 car collection. Maybe more now, I havnt seen him sence he went to the Berrett Jackson auction but he normally never buys there. Its a rough job, but someone has to do it. :D

Re: What job do you do?

I sell natural gas fuel systems for heavy-duty trucks worldwide. Hottest market for me right now is in Australia. I've been doing this for about 9 years which started while I was working at the LA area Caterpillar dealer. I started there when I was 18 in 1977 as a yard boy, and have bascially done every job on the engine side of the business before the nat gas thing got going.<br /><br />You could say we take perfectly good diesel trucks and ruin them . . . ;)

I run two different businesses, mostly web hosting and other internet services for large businesses. Basically I sit here all day and send emails and yell at people on the phone. :)

Re: What job do you do?

I own (in partnership with my wife) a Plant Production Nursery. I think our maximum output at the moment is around 760 dozen Herbs per week, so we are busy most of the time. The 2 of us built it from scratch over probably 13yrs.<br /><br />(James C...have never been to you site before. I was very impressed with the House/Roof Cleaner's site. I think I may have to go that way soon, so may be back to you for advice if you don't mind.)<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

Re: What job do you do?

Year round I manage an aeromedical program at a hospital in Phoenix. But my real job is a river guide in Grand Canyon that I do part time in the Summer. :D Wish I could do it full time, but it's too much time away from home and the pay isn't that great, but man, the benefits! One of my co-workers explained it well. The owners of a Grand Canyon whitewater rafting company have customers that are willing to pay practically anything and employees that are willing to work for practically nothing. Talk about having your cake and eating it too. I'm on the wrong side of that business. :D
