so what do you do for a living.

CigarFanatic

I work for Merck as a systems process engineer specializing in fluid mechanics and dynamics. I mostly however do research at PSU for Merck because of the lab equipment and the proximity of the Merck Plant (Rahway NJ) to State College.

Simply put, I design a manufacturing process for a new drug that is cheaper, quicker, and more pure.

3 years. Are you lymphadema certified? I've thought about doing it since no one else at my building has it but don't think I want to go through all the courses for it.

I sell wood, pipes, wiring, shingles and things like that. Usually they are assembled to look like a house so I guess I'm a Realtor.

@CigarFanatic we used to supply to Merck, retired from Corning.  Started for Costar in '76 they bought us in '96.  If you can't beat em, buy em.  Corning Life Science Division, or Corning LSD if you prefer.  If I had said that at a meeting, they would've been appalled.   They're really a telecom company, fiber, flat screen, cable, they even have environmental divisions making substrates for diesel emission.  No more coffee pots and cookware.

I lied 4 years ago.. I got into Gonzaga but the Nursing school wasn't taking transfer students.. They lied to me. So, I graduate in 2 months with a Masters in Social Work. I need a F'n job!!

YAY SHIZ for graduation soon!

I am an ocean engineer specializing in Autonomous Underwater Sex_Bots. It's very satisfying. It's a hard job, but I hope it will really thrust me into a long career. You can't just be a stiff, you have to really be jack of(f) all trades. You have to be ready to be on the bottom, in order to get to the top.

PastorJay

I work for the largest non-profit in the world...I'm a Pastor. But I'm not your "normal" pastor, thus I've been given the nickname the Pastor of Disaster. For example, at a wedding, folks were talking to my son about theological issues (church stuff) and when they needed help getting the keg tapped, they came to me. Love my God, my family, and my new friends here!

And just so I can keep up with the jokes from @Guitarded, what's the difference between Baptists and Presbyterians?

Presbyterians will say "Hi" to you in the liquor store.

That's from when somebody tried to do something he shouldn't have and crashed at a lock.

From the pics, I assume you are a Captain? If so, do you captain ships around the world or just through dangerous channels?

Give a toot and a wave when you pass St Louis next for me, will you?

For a while I had a collection of tourist apartments in Spain (sold that business November of last year) and I own a firm that provides management consulting services to boutique hotels and restaurants. Ideally I get to work with people who have money and interesting projects that just need some focus and creativity to build something really interesting and engaging... but sometimes I get to deal with complete morons who don't have a clue and won't listen to any of my advice.

the pays not much but the job satisfaction must be through the roof!

Bat-masterson

Own a Bread  route,  4-5 hours a day 5 days a week, but most time i pay a friend  that is out of work to run it.

Would like to sell it to him but he needs 50k down and the bakery wholesaler would loan him the rest.

I too was a towboat captain, actually worked for the same company as you, I am now in maritime education. Worked as an instructor for Houston Marine in Kenner, LA. Now I do curriculum development. I started in the New Orleans harbor back in 1972.
