what do you do for a living?

[Skyguns MKII]

Joking aside, what do you do to earn money? whats the history behind it? do you enjoy doing it? or do you like the result of it? (money) Feel free to post pictures!
 
to the point, I'm a kiddo and getting ready for college the way i make money as of now is by working at a paintball Field called jungle island. My boss is a Gunnery Sargent. My supervisor is a national guard medic. I absolutely love it, its incredibly fun and i love to help the new players get into it. Many of my peers want my job and i don't blame them.

Whines? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDnivh5Odfk&feature=related   I'm actually preparing to go to college to become a mechanical engineer and then to school for auto mechanics or (from what i see you post) a technician. That or a aircraft mechanic. auto runs Strong in some parts of my family though.

I fly airplanes for a living.  At least until April.  Then I'll steer unmanned aerial weapons systems from a lazy-boy on the ground.

Interestingly enough, although I trained for years to kill people and break stuff with an F-15E, I'll probably end up killing more people by remote control than I ever thought possible/probable, except of course during my brief period qualified to open up canned sunshine.

Not a fun thing to think about.

Right now, im working at the lovely twinkie filled corner store, the Hostess Shop. Its pretty easy, go in, work for 4 hours and go home to my house about a block away.

All i have to do during the day is stock the shelves, take inventory and then clean up the storage room if its in need of a cleaning.

Insurance adjuster.  I mostly do property (homes, farms, etc).  I get tapped for auto liability claims once in a while because I have 7 years of LEO experience too, that comes in quite handy when making a case to the judge, etc.  Prior to being an adjuster I was an insurance agent for 8 years w/ Allstate.  Oh, I graduated college with a degree in history and political science so I could go teach, but chose the insurance route instead for numerous personal reasons.

Just keep your mind open, many people start down a particular path then decided to take the ditch and go cross country.  The most important thing for you to remember is that everything you do, be it good or not so good, learn from it.  Life is a long road and you do not know when it will end. Enjoy.

The manager owns the store, so hes allowed to hire basically anyone. i know of a corner store that hired a 13 year old kid just because he was willing to work for about 5 bucks an hour.

The history can be found somewhere between a bottle of whisky, a woman, and a bad attitude.
