What does everyone do for a living?

[Colorado Cowboy]

My son owns his own trucking business. He continues to drive and hires others also. Everything is across country driving. He is gone for weeks at a time, lucky he is single. Makes a 6 figure income, but is never home. Lots of job security, but it takes a special person to do it...he has done it for about 12 years.

 

[Old Hunter]

I drove line for only one year. I hated it. I drove locally, and had a small company myself. Home every night, and all the time off for hunting that I wanted.

Thats the problem as far as I'm concerned. I havn't got to hunt with my son in about 5 years! He is planning on hunting deer with me this year, hope it happens.

I pull ta-ta's for a living, I'm a dairyman.

This made me laugh out loud. I should probably get back to work before I have to update my 'what do you do' post to: unemployed.

Retired Farm Equipement Dealer, Worked to much, hunted to little, whitetail every year, started elk hunting 2 years ago, no luck yet. haven't fired a shot, maybe this year. I started hunting when we could take our shotgun to school, put it in your locker and hunt as soon as school let out. We would be on national news if we tried that now, what went wrong?

I pretty much grew up on a dairy farm, grandpa's place and I lived next door. Not a big operation, usually between 30-40 brown swiss cows with anywhere between 20 and 30 heifers. Definitely a tough job to find time to hunt!

Well they took God out of schools....not like parents take time to fit Him in there much these days and politicians are turning heros into monsters. If they keep it up in two generations no child is going to want to be a soldier, cop, or hunter. Guns are bad right?

 

[25contender]

I have been working for myself since 1985. That gives me a little free time during hunting season.

Army opened up doors now with railroad great pay but travel alot but i get to look at spots for hunting

 

[bigmoose]

I studied to be a forester and had a job all lined up cruising timber when I got out of college. That didn't work out because of the spotted owl, so I started driving truck. I just kept driving until one day I realized 30 years had gone by. Now I'm still in the seat after 42 years...crazy.

I started out hauling dirt and then got into tankers and even hauled freight for three or four years (Motor Cargo). We lived in Reno and I drove triples for twenty years or so until I got a blood clot in my left arm from resting it on the door...go figure? LOL. Now I drive a little bobtail and I'm in and out of the seat all day making deliveries.

I put in a lot of 12 to 14 days. The pay was okay and we hunted the West every Fall for "big buck". I came home every day or every other day and was not into the long haul stuff. If someone is interested in truck driving, I'd stay away from gas and diesel, too many toxic fumes. I did enjoy hauling propane and even freight.

Okay, Old Hunter, now there's two of us! I just need to retire!

I work for the state of NV. Highway Maintenance, was a carpenter building custom homes for years until the everything went south. Started working for a directional drilling outfit and made a lot of money, really enjoyed the hard work and ended up running the crew for a few years but traveled all over NV, CA andsome Idaho. Being a single father of a son about to start school made me change it up, plus had no hunting or life drilling. Been with the state a little over a year, took a life changing pay cut but get TONS of time off. Bowhunting is a must now due to school and sports for my boy, winter is my busiest time when snow flys and I'm plowing, get off work and grab hounds and hunt lions. I get to hunt alot now, just gotta work out schedules and make things fit. Its possible no matter what you do, there's hunting somewhere in some season.

 

[Engideer]

I am an engineering manager at a utility company. The job itself is only exciting if you are an engineer, but the pay is great and the job is very stable. I will say that having enough money to enjoy life is important, but enjoying the job you go to everyday is equally important. Choose wisely while you are young, and dont be afraid to take a chance and go do something else if you aren't happy.

You're definitely right...have you seen the hypocrisy "poster" floating around? It reads "blaming every gun owner for the deaths of children while supporting abortion". Pretty crazy with how things are flowing right now...hope things start to change in 3 yrs!

 

[Iowahunter]

State Trooper....decent pay, great benefits, not in an office(well guess your car is your office), first 4 yrs get 2 weeks paid vaca(not including 11 holidays) so basically 3 1/2 weeks paid, plus comp time to take off. Been on 7 yrs and have worked on average 200days a yr. will be less this yr! Basically can get off whenever...unless you want the next day off and there's a snowstorm forecasted! Banked sick leave. Been great so far and don't see myself switching careers unless it'd be transferring to a different division...ie. narcotics, investigation, fire marshals...

Refinery worker. Pays good, the vacation time gets better the longer you are with the company. I have been here 10 yrs and am up to 4 weeks off. The people you work with are awesome. Just a bunch of guys having fun and making jokes once the work is done. A lineman would be a good job lots of money but I am not sure if they get much time off. All the lineman I know work long hours.
