Title: What do you do for a living?
amhildreth - September 25, 2008 11:17 AM (GMT)
We seem to have a pretty varied crowd here at SCP, and seeing we can't shoot, tinker, or yap aimlessly ALL the time, there has to be something to pay the bills. What do you do for a living?
I'm employed as a full-time broadcaster doing traffic reports, co-hosting duties, funny bits, and production for "The Wake-Up Club" on 103.9 WDKX here in Rochester. I also take artsy B+W photos for a little extra money on the side, along with DJ'ing the very occasional wedding.
So, what do YOU do?

Easy there, TC.
1) It's never a good idea to protest a site Admin, especially before the coffee takes effect.
2) See rule #1

I'm a facilities manager of a small site of a large brokerage firm.
Basically that means I'm a general handyman, and If I can't get something done I call in a contractor.

I work in a beef processing facility :( I know... but theres nothing else for me in this area. Just a simple blue collar grunt pretty much, bust my ace all day for 12 bucks and hr, deal with tard co-workers. Pretty much I run a scale thats hooked up to our system network, change over product make sure the right number of product (boxes of ground beef chubs) is ran through right. Also check for bad product, re-work bad product, and so forth.
As i said, it really really really sucks.

So what does your job actually consist of. I am familiar with SERE but what do you actually do. ARe you an instructor or do you just specialize in playing "hide and go seek". I know SERE is WAY more intensive then just that.

I cook for a living, and as Dave will tell ya, stupid idea. ;)
Oh Dave, I got another "what's your favorite dish to cook" the other day. :lol:

I am in the process of starting my own business but that is on hold until I get settled in the new house. Hoping it is sucsessful enough to get out of retail in a few years.

Part of me really wants to know what the (certainly equally-stupid) response usually is.
Do you just make up some sh*t in French and tell them it means something different?

I deliver pizzas.
I'm also going for my border patrol exam next month. hopefully... Good Pay, benefits, an actual career. I hear people are a lot friendlier down in the southwest. I'm really hoping that I'm gonna get a job with good pay where I can ride bikes year long.
If that doesn't work out, I'm gonna go drive trucks eventually.
Commando Kyle - September 28, 2008 08:01 PM (GMT)
SERE as a MOS (well, whatever you guys call that in the AF) is an instructor job, but you gotta make it through the school yourself, from what I understand. And you get a beret, which in the AF still kinda means something. Pretty cool stuff, man.

Depends on the situation I guess. Most of the time I just say I like everything I cook. It's funny you mention the French thing, I definitely do that on occasion.
Wes - Good luck on the Border Patrol exam, by brother recently took it and passed. He also did well on his interview.

I work in a bakery at the local grocery store. Cept I'm considered a baker about as much as a kid at McDonald's is considered a chef. Mostly just break food out for them to throw in the ovens. Hoping to enlist upon graduation.

I give rich people attitude until they give me enough money to leave them alone. The work is steady, the pay is great but the benefits suck.
On the side, I'm a tutor for the college I attend full time as a physics/business student. That means I get to help students out in subjects ranging from calculating with fractions to writing mathematical proofs. I'm about finished with this college, so the newer tutors get the boring stuff. :rolleyes:

I work for Rehkemper & Son. Im a truss and pre-fab wall guy. Its ok. I used to work with my g/f's dad as a residential construction worker. We built the whole house except for concrete, plumbing, and wiring.
This is almost the same but im inside and have machines to help me. :lol:
I wouldnt mind finding a new job as this job wont pay me what I want.
My dream was to become a fighter pilot in the air force or navy but that was blown to shreds by a recruiter that told me I was "too tall". He said I could fly a cargo plane and I told him to kiss my butt.
