Fess up folks, what's you job?

Here's a thread for everyone to confess your profession, job, or anything that brings you in income, no matter how little.

What share you?

Didn't we already have this thread?

With threads: 9,365, Posts: 70,621, Members: 7,525, 83 threads of my own, we're bound to see similar threads, eventually. It happens on every site, eventually.

I'll begin to get the ball rolling:

One of my sources of income is doing the financial books, analyzing costs and benefits, marketing expenditures, financial strategy, taxes, and small business software to help manage a friends roofing business. I guess you could say i am the CFO of said small business, also dealing with the responsibilities of Controller and Treasurer, but in truth, I'm doing all this, not for gain, but to assist in securing my friends financial future.

Another source of income for me is the buying and selling rare books on Ebay.

What share the rest of you?

Senior Unix Administrator keeping the servers used by the emergency 911 system in the US up and running.

I was surprised at just how the 911 system works under the hood.

Currently Unemployed but when I am in school I am a tutor at the math tutoring center on campus. I also worked for a catalog company orders and HATED it with a passion. The morons that would call me at 11:30 PM would just piss me off. I once got yelled at for peeing by a customer. And I won't mention the other "recreational activities" some of them were doing before/during there calls to me. I swear they pre-screened the calls and gave me all the stupid people. I even had some dude ask me what I meant by "your total is".

I am a process operator for an oil refinery. I work on what is known as a "Sulfur Recovery Unit". Basically, we take hydrogen sulfide (a highly toxic and explosive chemical compound that was single-handedly responsible for the "acid rain" scares of the 70s and early 80s) and using thermal reaction create elemental sulfur.

Basically, I work on an environmental unit. The only major downside is that the concentration of H2S used on our unit is enough to kill you 90,000 times over...so don't make a mistake

It's a great job, and one that I enjoy very much.

I'm a Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer - soon to make Master Chief.

Presently I'm the Coast Guard Liaison to the Air Force Senior NCO Academy... a dang fish out of water!! However, I am soon to move up to Boston to be a Training and Safety officer... officially called Chief of Planning and Force Readiness... it sounds impressive, but I'm mainly an admin puke.

I can retire at any time - I have 22 years in.
