What do you do for a living (career)?

I build jets...

I built a plane once. Part of one, at least. J-3 replica in spruce. Got the fuselage on the landing gear and, like most homebuilders, kinda ran out of steam. Plus we had another daughter, and I moved my office into the garage where the plane was.

Let's see. I've been a desk clerk at a local parish. I climbed the corporate ladder my the college food services starting as a dish washer, then pot washer, finally a breakfast short order cook. I have worked on the grounds crew at a campground for kids with disabilities. I have even been a superhero. Okay, I performed at kids parties wearing costumes: Mickey Mouse, Ninjas Turtles, even Barney the Dinosaur.
Right now I am pediatrician in a small town but my true aspiration is to become a librarian. I mean, what sort of emergency can happen in library? An overdue video? A misshelved book? Riff raff talking excessively loud?

I'll give you 3 guesses ... and the first 2 don't count.

Revolutionary?

Archaeologist. About one third of my time is spent finding cool sites. The rest of the time I sit my fat a$$ behind a desk writing boring reports about said cool sites. I get pretty nerdy about broken rocks, broken glass bottle fragments, rusty pieces of metal, and soils.

Favorite thing I've ever found? A complete set of dentures stuffed in an old can at a 1920's era mining site in Colorado. You figure that one out. I'm leaning toward drunken miner accidentally pitched his choppers.

You guys shouldn't down yourselves with your occupation so much, after all every human makes garbage, so your collections must be vast.....Just be glad your not an elephant garbage collector, empty beer vats and lots of chewed and digested vegetable matter.... it is a LOT of work as elephants walk a long distance each day.....

[Antarius]

Hahahaha awesome. Well played!

I have a LEO cousin and if you ask him what he does he says "I deal with peoples problems they refuse to deal with their self."

As for what i do for a living, I do what my wife says and she lets me keep living.

A more accurate description would be: "I'm a writer."

1 minute of fun is about 1 hour of writing.

Dirt Engineer!

[grandpa1466]

Retired 9 years after 33 years of teaching high school band. Loved the kids and the music. Learned to hate the "school" part. School (at least in Texas) isn't about kids any more. It's about politics, money, football, and the TEST, which has dumbed down our kids. I repair computers, teach a few private music students, raise cows on the family farm, play with the grandkids, and do a lot of shooting and reloading. Otherwise, I don't do much.
