What do you do for a living?

Recommended Posts

I just realized I never posted what I do for a living in this topic.

I am a HVAC Technician, Plumber, and Tinner(basically someone that builds ductwork out of tin). I have been working in the field for the last 5 years.

I love the feeling I get when I’m climbing a water tower. It’s like 1/2 scared 1/2 excited. IMG_0476.thumb.JPG.48b704d3d23976734a7de83c5974f163.JPG
There is a “spotter” you can see, to call the corner if something happens I guess 🤷‍♂️

Hey Fellas,

 

I'm 36 2 daughters 8 and 7, and have an amazing gorgeous wife. 

*PLEASE DON'T HATE ME FOR THIS*

I work for the IRS. Yes I hate paying taxes just as much as you. So pay your taxes my salary depends on it LOL. 

I should mention, like a lot of you I'm in IT. For obvious reasons, I can't get into what I do for them in the way of IT.

I teach high school history and coach golf and basketball. And I do woodworking, but that's more "to support my golf addiction" than "for a living".

Matt I love your website. I visit daily, read every review, listen to the podcasts, and enjoy the content you put out. Keep up the good work Sir.

Don’t feel bad one of my best friends retired from IRS. According to him best job he ever hated.

I work in the wine and spirits distribution world in a sales management role.  It's not as fun as most people think, but it does have it's perks.  I was able to play Spanish Bay and Pebble on one of my wine suppliers dime.  That was unforgettable.

I'm 33 these days and I've been a machinist for Eaton (hydraulics division) for 9 years now.  I've done a little bit of everything, but I started on an old industry titan, a NATCO drill press and eventually moved into CNC machinery 4 years ago, but I did a lot of other things along the way.  I've worked all 3 shifts during that time and I'm currently on 3rd shift (11pm-7:30A.M.).  Currently, I'm just riding the steady ship to see how the 4th quarter plays out with the sale being finalized around that time.

F100, F117, F119, F135, TF33.  Jet engines are fun and a challenge, they run hot enough to melt them but we do amazing things to keep the metals "cool".

I am an assistant nuclear reactor operator for the federal government. I previously served 8 years in the USMC (avionics) and became a journeyman wire-man electrician with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). I followed that up with an undergrad in Org Leadership (U of Indianapolis) and a grad in tech project management (Embry-Riddle). I mention all of this because it used up a lot of valuable time I could have spent playing golf, but the other stuff has admittedly helped with things like food and shelter.

Thank you for your service!  I regularly, before COVID-19, play with a 76-year old USMC fighter pilot.  He's about a 6 'cap.

Work for TVA?  Sequoyah?  Never made it down there, but spent a lot of time in Oak Ridge.

I hated my physical therapist when I had my knee replaced.  He made me do things that hurt!!  But in the end it was worth it, because I can play pain-free... in my knee.  The rest of me, not so much!  😆
