     I do a Job others attempt to do for less. Then they call me to sort out the mess they make. Not a Doctor but people are always asking me questions at parties.  At my work my employer houses thousands of dollars worth of my personal property. Wish I could make the money an athlete does hitting 33% accuracy, I must hit 100%.

I was a service technician on industrial machinery (Alfa-Laval centrifuges) for the last 10 years but I was working for a small family company and since I wasn't in the family I was pretty much at a dead end. I left in the same position I started in 10 years earlier. I was making decent money but the excessive travel and lack of benefits (retirement) made me realize I was just wasting my time. Luckily my wife has been moving up the corporate ladder at her work at an amazing pace. She stared as an entry level analyst 8years ago and she is now a manager of managers and is currently being groomed to take her boss's job (a senior management position) by years end. She is making enough that I am now a stay at home dad while going to school full time to get my A.S. in Computer Programming as well as a CCC (college credit certificate) in Automation. I will have my A.S. next spring and will transfer to a 4 year university. I don't know if I am going to pursue a B.S. in programming or get a B.S./B.A. in a different field to open up potential career paths. Ideally we would like to move to Colorado where I can hopefully land a job at Intel or HP in Fort Collins.

   I work as a Master Technician for a Truck Dealer. Specializing in Commercial Trucks and Diesel Engines. I'd say much of the work is technical these days as cars and trucks have multiple computers communicating on several different types networks.
   Yes Dealers are more expensive than what you find in a private shop but you have issues where the customer spends a lot of money on parts changers and then finds out at the Dealer what the real issue is.
   In a way I have to be good with riddles.  :D

               I'm not a Potato.  :old: But I do have a few spuds running around.  :rofl

Student, but thinking long and hard about enlisting if I can finish school on the GI Bill.

See the world (or a gray wall  :old:), serve my country, and finish school with only $27k in debt :banana:.

anything for money

mostly putting up fences to keep all the nice people away from the other nice people's gardens.

amateur bowyer, fletcher, blacksmith and general wood craftsman.

personally I'd like to be an international drug smuggler but it's not an easy vocation to stay alive in
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.
