What line of work are you in?

[Batmex1]

I retired from the US Navy in 1995 after serving 21 years as a military policeman (master-at-arms CPO E-7) and then worked in the casino security field in Las Vegas, NV for about 12 years. Now I'm a security training specialist for a large hospital here in Albuquerque NM. We have a 35 officer security dept. and very busy. Hoping to retire again soon and move back to Arizona to my in-laws 280 acre ranch and provide a place for inner city kids to come and ride horses and experience the "old west". Yee-haw podners!!!

CAD Technician or Computer Draftsman - take your pick. I worked for CH2M Hill for over 16 years drawing waste water treatment plants and such until I was laid off on 2005. Then I found a job drawing very high-end houses for an architect - until I was laid off again last year. Now I work for another architectual firm but drawing schools and stadiums instead of houses. Been here 8 months.

My degree work was in Ancient and Medieval History, with minors in Dark Ages Literature, Latin, and Greek. So nauturally you will not be surprised to learn that I work as a Software Release Manager for a Technology Company.

Since 1999 I've been employed for CCH Incorporated which produces Tax and Accounting software for Tax professionals. In the last few years our company has gone global with our software development, and I have worked on projects for Mexico, Canada, Australia, and the U.K. I spend almost a quarter of my month each month on the road, which begins to wear after a while. The Museum is nice slice of home while I'm on the road though.

I'm a postman and have been for 11 years now. It's very convenient for me as I am usually home for lunchtime which gives me the opportunity to look after my two children during the afternoons and keeps childcare costs to the absoloute minimum. I consider myself very lucky to be able to spend so much time with the kids. Some dads I know get in from work and half an hour later their kids are in bed.

I left school and trained in building construction and design and qualified as an Architectural Technician. By the time I was 26 I had had enough of working for people who wanted to mould me into the next little robot worker, and I didn't really enjoy the management side of building construction which I was moving slowly into. I also struggled to get my head around computer aided design, my skill was with a draughtmans pen.

I enjoy been a postman although it can be very physical work. My round means I walk seven miles a day with eight loaded bags of mail each weighing around 12 kilos.

Like most people I have days when I hate it. This year I intend to take some courses in Mountainbike Leadership which hopefully may lead me on to better things.


.......to turn a pleasant person into a bitter, twisted, people hating machine of sarcasm and whinging........

[SUP-Ronin]

I'm a Station Supervisor on London Underground(....well someones got to do it.....stop laughing......grrrrrrrrrr..) and have discovered that 21 years on this job is exactly the right amount of time to turn a pleasant person into a bitter, twisted, people hating machine of sarcasm and whinging.

I think many jobs do exactly this. LMAO

I am a Geographic Information Specialist, with a consulting firm.

Currently finishing my first year of "Corrections and Police Foundations". Worked retail and hospitality industry for years and it wore me out as I hated it, well being supervisor in a record store was fun, free c.d.'s and lots of cute girls to work with. , Hopefully after next year I will be working in a Federal Corrections facility.
