I recently quit my job at UPS as a HAZMAT clerk to take my part-time biz full time. I'm now a full-time sales rep for a few flyfishing companies.

 

 

My fishing time has really gone downhill.

It was hard to choose which title to click while voting, because as a contractor/small business owner, I actually at times wear every one of those hats. But what brings in the bacon is the trade’s title because I install solar panels on homes in L.A. I specialize in quality as opposed to quantity, work on many entertainers homes and have a good reputation for skillfully working with my hands. As long as I average at least one installation per week, my life is good. Thank god the persistent rains of winter have gone.

I work at what you'd cal a labour office. It's my job to register jobsearching people and to try and bring them in contact with employers who have jobs to offer. I've got a team of six working in the same branche.

I have the best job in the world, I was a sheet metal worker until age 37, For the last 12 years I have beed a minister and education director and serve 365 churches in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

 

I direct camps for kids (over 3000 kids a year) and retreats for adults: marriage, senior adult, young adult, and service event trips, like feeding the homeless in NYC.

 

As I travel throughout the state, I am able to work a day of fishing into my schedule and sample a lot of waters.

 

Gotta love what your doing.

Well, forgive me but I neglected a few job classifications: Law Enforcement, Fire Fighter/Rescue, Teacher, Farmer and probably a few others. It is very interesting to get to know ya'll alittle better! Everyone here makes a contribution to society and culture...all of great value. Keep the comments coming! biggrin.gif

Over 33 years in sales of one type or another. Sold fishing tackle and hunting equipment for a while but never had time to use what had a home. Presently in sales for a cabinet and lighting gallery. Gives me some time to fish during the week when all you other types are at work. Reminds me of that song "Working Man Blues."

DERRR!!! IM AN ENGINEER.....but the coal gets old sometimes. Come home with it in my hair ears and belly button everyday. O yeah... the seats are also hard in the engineers section. I tried other jobs but nothing else has worked out for me. I've tried Truck driving, Bee hivin, and professional swim team divin. But the Egineer worked out best!
