What do you do for a living ???

Now retired.

Spent 38 years in the telco industry. Started as a phone installer, worked my way up to PBX, data circuits and terminals, circuit board repair, then finished in IP networking. Last dozen years wrote configuration files for switches, routers, firewalls, and commercial wifi on mostly Cisco gear. Had the pleasure of working with a lot of great people over the years and there's never a dull moment when you have to deal with the public...........:doh:
 
As of today nothing, retired at 5pm today after 31 years as a CPS worker, supervisor and deputy director. Will be doing conferences and training as motivational speaker.
 
Press Foreman at the Jennings Daily News!!! Not going to lie I like my job SOMETIMES! Big gears=big problems!!! But I wish I could build cool stuff all day!

Architect (by education) and Civil Engineer(by trade).

But I prefer my hobbies lol. I am big into fabricating(both metal and composites) and dabble in autobody work/paint.
 
Full time college student again (at 31)
Spent the last 8 years as a production engineer, building and running high speed assembly machines. Got to lower management and realized I was maxed out without a degree, quit last Jan, went back to finish up that silly piece of paper that tells others what I already know.
 
I took the concept of retirement seriously. This morning I felt like doing something productive, so I stayed in bed till the feeling passed.
 
Aviation GSE mechanic and certified line service technician. I work on all the ground support equipment-fuel trucks,pushback tractors,air starts,gpu's,tugs,etc., and fuel planes when I'm not busy.
