I work with a forensic economist, my title is a research associate. Next year, hopefully, I will be a student again too!
Primary job is IT geek for a company which specializes in reducing employers' unemployment compensation tax rates. The UC tax is a funny tax because it is a variable rate, not one set rate. The employer pays it; the employee gets the benefit; state governments mis-manage it. I put their operation on the cloud before there was a cloud.
My second job is a small business on the side, programming, hosting web sites, database work, and general puter geek. Been managing web sites since before there was a web.
Oh. Third gig: Every once in a while, I pretend to be a motorcycle mechanic. I used to bring back to life and flip a derelict bike every Winter for modest profit; but nowadays the market is so bad you can't make flips pay. So ever once in a while I fix a bike prob or do maintenance for someone.
Those trucks and equipment that keep the roads and passes open in the winter, when they break, I'm the guy they call to come out and get it back going.
Been a mechanic for almost 30 years. Started as a marine diesel mechanic on the family fishing vessels in Alaska and then a diesel mechanic for 10 years for a logging company and now the job I got.
There were many things I tried, but always ended up back as a mechanic. 15 more years and I can retire with full pension. LOL!
Sometimes a career chooses you and all you can do it ride it out. LOL!
I tried my hand at many things, but always seemed to get offers for jobs as a mechanic.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
I am currently in a summer position in Information Techology. I am updating websites and creating custom reports for a big Micro$oft database system. My real job is "full time college student". I will begin my 3rd year in a "Computer Programmer Analyst" course in September. Oh, did I mention I'm a Grampa! Kickin butt in school with a 3.9 GPA
