I was reading all the comments from Mike's post on how everyone found ETHD and I think it was Purebreedcolt that mentioned we all have the same sport in common but we're all different...got me thinking; "I wonder what everyone does for a living?"

What do you do for a living? Other than catching hogs... Grin

I'm a branch manager of a underground utility supply co., we sell large diameter water & sewer pipe, fire hydrants, valve, etc., basically from the water tower to the water meter and from the sewer clean out to the treatment plant...

I run a PVF supply company that services the petrochem industry.
http://jkenterprises.com/

Also have a small freight/hotshot company.

Most of my day is spent at a desk, watching tv/movies on one screen and a mix of ETHD, Craigslist, FB on the other screen.

I work for the power supply, infrastructure company that serves the Houston, SE Texas area.  I am a service consultant.  I meet with people who need anything done involving power in a geographic area, discuss what needs to be done and creat a job that then gets turned into our lineman and they complete the work.  Since I serve the area around a small town I also do alot of small meetings and attend chamber luncheons, economic development meetings and I am a member of the rotary club.  I am happy doing what I do but I would like to have enough cows by the time I am 50 to retire and let that keep me busy....17 head and counting haha

I am a  Chemical Plant Retiree. Decided retirement life wasn't for me so I am working for Kelly Services now in Safety and Permit writing for a big rig right in the middle of hog heaven and lots of deer and other game... I have a 40" TV with all the channels in an explosion proof trailer with all the luxuries of home. I share the trailer with another permit writer so it is nice. This job is supposed to last 1.5 yrs more and after that back in a Chemical plant. Sad

My ultimate goal is to be a day trader. Working toward that goal now.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I'm just a disabled vet getting by on my VA disability check and whatever I make on odd jobs. About to sit for the CPA tests. But being an accountant does not look like much fun so I am working on my own company.

But I have lots of time to hunt.

Insurance agent.  My father started the agency 32 years ago and now he's retired and I purchased it from him.  Big shoes to fill but I'm determined to keep it going for another 32 years.

Youth pastor and pest control technician,  sometimes those jobs are eerily similar

I used to be a commercial construction superintendent and I was danggood @ it but being on the road wasn't for me. I make way less money now but my wife and I have never been happier. I always knew I was made for the simple life, maybe because I'm simple minded  Grin

Underwear / boardshorts model

I do breast exams on the side for extra income.  So far, I have not had any clients though. I think I need to advertise better, but who knows.    Evil

That's funny stuff right there....

Quality Specialist for me, but if I could get paid for hunting or reading posts on ETHDs, I'd be much better off.
My wife says I have the perfect man job, I sit around and measure stuff all day. I work in the oil industry for Weatherford, the tools we build are the ones that steer the bit down hole when their drilling for oil/gas.
