It's pretty neat to have an ocean of diversified members worlds apart in their own line of work here with a major common interest.

I taste-test nuclear waste for Tyson Foods before they put it in their chicken.

I do vacuum pumps and air compressors, mainly for the medical field. When you are laid open on the operating table and bleeding like a stuck hog and the doctor screams SUCTION, that's my pump, or when they give you breathing treatments with "medical air", that's my compressors. SO, the next time you are in the hospital, ask yourself, did I ever piss off Termite, :) We've got some vacuum pumps in shop now from a nuclear plant on the east coast. Does anyone know how they hold a beer can when they print the label, YEP, that's what I do. Ever wonder how they get 99% of the water & die out of the carpet when it's made, or how do they get the guts out of all those chickens at the processing plant, or how they get the water out of paper when it comes out of the head box. YEP, my job SUCKS.... :)

I sell metal working coolants and metal pretreatment conversion coatings. Sadly, I work mainly with the auto manufacturing industry. A co-worker of mine is in the military side so he gets to see our manganese phosphate applied to many of the gun manufacturers.

I trim and shoe horses. Lots of good(and some not so good) people that I don't have to be around but about 6-10 times a year, lol. Some days it's just great to help an animal perform to the best of their abiltiy and/or aid in its recovery from neglect, abuse, etc. Other days, I'm leg wrestling 1000#+/- opponents trying not to get a nail in my leg, or worse.

i wanted to make a career out of the marines, but after 4yrs of active infantry i got over it fairly fast. so i did my 1 reserve that was left in my contract and got out. i do miss a lot of it, but i didnt re-enlist cuz the wife at the time, didnt want it. after she died i realized she was right. i missed out on a lot of shit, but i had to put food on the table somehow.

 

i give you guys props that serve that much time in.

 

i work/live at the local homeless shelter

i knew you'd come up with some shit like that! 000.gif

 

i should have guessed you'd have a smart ass remark that would force me to post a picture of myself

I am an un-employed Michigan guy. I have a CPA license although it is not currently active. I need to find a job, I just don't know if the accounting thing is for me. If I could get a refund for all the money I spent on education, I would do it in a second!

 

Anyone know of any good jobs out there?

I work as a father, a son, an entrepreneur and regional manager for a tourist attraction....I am a man who has worn many hats, and feel being a jack of all trades has made me a very interesting guy.

I live in Lansing, but need to get out of the city! I think I met you briefly at the pumpkin shoot at the pit last fall. I have a great example of a double edged sword.

 

Good news, is I don't have wife/kids or any ties anywhere, I have nothing.

 

Bad news, no ties anywhere and I have nothing.

 

I always try and keep a positive attitude and things always end up OK, it just gets tough because my background as a CPA and a bachelor's in Economics and a bachelor's in Finance, not that others don't, but I really understand how fucked this country is!
