Old Hat 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2008 Environmental negotiations. Have been given money by folks at conclaves to whom I offered a fly for free and who insisted on paying for it. Which is very interesting, if you think about it. I am willing to tie and give away and they feel guilty about taking it for free so they give me money to relieve their guilt. Of course, most of the tyers I know, if given a fly by a fellow tyer, are going to return the favor -- which is sort of but not exactly the same thing. Environmental negotiations?...looking at your avatar, I bet you drive a hard bargain. I'm a fisheries biologist but have put my career on temporary hold to be a full time stay at home Dad of 2.

That long?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrismartin 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2008 I'm a pastor, more specifically a youth pastor. I work with kids and teens between grade 6 and grade 12. Most of the time it's a pretty great job. These pictures are what I would call "a tough day at the office". I'm the one getting wet. I feel pretty lucky to be paid to do what I do. I've also sold some of my flies on eBay.

day5 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2008 Im in sales for a car wash equipment distributor. I cover west Michigan (that doesn't suck!) So I get to drive over the best smallmouth and steelhead water on the planet every day. For now anyway. Soon this state will hit 15% unemployment and many things will come to an end. Including most of my customers. Oh how I love Jennifer Granholm! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2008 I use to be a foreman of a welding/fabrication shop where we built all sorts of lifting devices for construction compaines and the big three. But about 3 years ago I took a chance to do what I have always wanted to do and started up my own business in the fly fishing industry. So now for the past 3 years I'm a full time custom fly rod builder http://www.midwestcustomflyrods.com/ Its something I always wanted to do and luckily it worked out pretty nicely for me. Love being my own boss and being able to have my "work" being fly fishing related. When you love your work it never seems like a "job" :headbang: Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
