So, what do you guys do for a living?

Don't know much about any of you guys, outside of here. What do you do for a living?

I'm a Branch Manager for an Industrial Power Transmission distributor. Motors, gearboxes, sprockets, chain, belts, bearings, that kind of stuff. Been in fluid power/hydraulics and power transmission since the late 80's. Spent years as a mechanic, moved into Sales, then Outside Sales, Area Sales Management, traveled, now behind a desk. Not a bad gig. Pays well, and 7:30-4:00 hours. Can't complain! (Well, for the most part)..
am a trader
 
Used to do IT/web development/etc. Jumped around from e-commerce to small business IT to some public sector IT work.

When my wife finished her PhD about 10 years ago, we had our first kid and moved to a small college town, so I quit the 9-5 and figured I’d work independently while getting to actually be a Dad (my Dad was enlisted Navy and basically missed half our childhoods, family broken, same old Gen X story).

It proved to be very difficult to seriously work and not just put kids in daycare all day so I said fuck it. We no longer needed the money (my wife is in one of the few areas of academia that pays very well) and it’s not like I loved developing web apps and shit. I have all kinds of things I’d rather be doing, including music, although I don’t always have as much time for that as one might think.

It’s a good thing too, because life really went off the rails the past few years with deaths and health issues in our extended family, having to travel a lot to deal with things and estate issues etc etc. If I still was trying to maintain a business the stress would have been that much more extreme and it would have likely failed.
 
Electrical engineer too. I concentrated in applied electromagnetics in graduate school. I get to work on fun projects 👍

Same, but I don't like getting paid well, so I kept getting degrees and work in academia now. Ironically, do very little EE, but mostly ended up in administration and program building at this point in life. (Not enough brain cells left to do research anymore.)

Irony is that the only reason I went into it was I needed a major at college. I'd taught myself to repair my own equipment, swapped electronics for other guys, etc. when playing more actively, so it seemed natural. Had no idea what it really was!
 
Huh? Yikes, Why and how could you say something like that about another human being?
you're kidding right ?
gloves are off
this piece of shit MAGAT findthetome1 UNPROVOKED OUT OF THE BLUE called my dead mother a crack whore because he didn't like what I posted about the war in the ukraine war thread

Two wrongs don't make a right mate. He apologised and explained that he didn't know she'd passed away and that you're understandably-sensitive about it.

Reading comprehension is important in life. You REALLY need fuckin help.

What he really needs is remedial elementary grammar and spelling.

If his mom needs more crack rocks, she can take BBCs whether shes breathing or not. We're not allowed to judge these people's fetishes and degeneracy anymore, remember? Cast not the first stone.

Unnecessary Brother Dan.
The issue was put-to-bed weeks ago.

I've got an idea for you - take your fucking lithium and stay 500ft from elementary schools and places where children congregate you obnoxious idiot.
