I'm a cardiac sonographer. I work in a private practice cardiology group and spend all day in a dark room smaller than the tent I stayed in while elk hunting last week doing ultrasound imaging on patients with varying levels of heart disease. I tell people I am not really someone you want to get to know on a professional level.
The girl that does me has long blonde hair , built like a brick house, with a personality to match! :)
Look forward to our appointments :)

I am the Deputy Head Sewer Operator at a wastewater plant in SE Wisconsin. First job out of college and that was 12 1/2 yrs ago. May sound funny, but I do enjoy my job. Most days anyways. I should be promoted to Head Operator a year from now. The amount of biology, chemistry, and engineering that goes into wastewater treatment is far greater thank what the majority of people I talk to have any clue about. I also have my own business operating two other wastewater plants.

6 years USMC, 25 years as a police officer, 5 years federal court security for the US Marshall's. After retirement, I worked some carpentry jobs, seasonal smokechaser for the MN DNR, a stint as a wilderness therapy instructor, and finally my dream job for the last seven summers as a wilderness canoeing guide for the Boy Scout High Adventure program in the US and Canada. The last two years I was the "Brigade Leader" training midshipmen from the US Naval Academy. Now I consider myself to be an unemployed hunting and fishing bum.

Very interesting career. I like the last one the best.

I'm looking to scale back and go to part time work sometime fairly soon and am recruiting for a replacement so have her send me a resume. Unless she likes to hunt, and would want time off anytime from September through early December, in which case I wouldn't want her around, no matter what she looks like.

Project Manager for a steel fabrication company in OR. I started there as a hammer swinger in 1991. I started managing jobs about 15 years ago. Now I am the high school dropout working side by side with some pretty awesome Engineers. Makes for an environment where I never stop learning. My only issue now is trying to get out of the chair a little more often during the day.

Construction materials, landscaping materials and hauling services. All as a means to provide for my family and allow me to be outdoors.

I have been a licensed residential contractor most of my adult life, building anything from chicken coops to multimillion dollar homes. The drawback of being self employed is that you have to take whatever work you can get sometimes. Recently I've taken a salaried caretaking job for a very wealthy and nice family's lake home near me. Now I can be a lot more selective when taking on building projects. Being self-employed has allowed me to take several months a year to hunt. I will be a poor retiree, but I've hunted and fished all over the country.

There is always time to get some investments in to get some retirement.
