What do you do for a living?

[mbtcforJesus]

I'm a transit bus driver. The pay is pretty good. The bennies include vacation, sick pay, floating holidays, medical, dental, vision, retirement. Been doing it now for the past year. It's a great job! I get to drive all over this beautiful island on which I live. I also get to meet all kinds of interesting people. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because can't believe my job provides me all of these things just for driving around.

Before this I was carpet installer for over 20 years. No bennies included in that job. Had to get out of it before I wrecked my knees. My back is so-so as it is.

How about you? What do you do?

Hello
I am an auto technician instructor by day and a diagnostic technician by night (car computer stuff). So if anyone has any car questions I may be able to give some advise.
I look forward to getting to know more of you and I think this is a great place to start. Thanks mbtcforJesus for starting this thread.

I was self employed for 35 years in residential construction and rehab. I retired about a year ago. And I haven't quite got the knack of that down yet. I find it harder than getting up everyday and going to work. So I bought a couple of houses near my grandbaby and now I'm a landlord.

The tool and die industry going away in this country is appalling.

Who will build our tanks and planes and ships in the future?

The Chinese?

[Morrell]

Active duty Army soldier. I can't think of a thing they don't pay for, besides my car and insurance. Of course, no one would join if they didn't get the benefits they hand out. Hopefully, I'll either get out and go to a Nazarene college, or stay in and fly some helicopters.
