what do you do for a living?

One of the lucky ones, I guess. I do whatever I want to do. My past life allows that (and funds that).

I am the Director of Account Management for the largest Catholic healthcare system in the country. I consult on best practices and cost savings opportunities.

I also run my own home repair business.

I work for a regional petroleum delivery company. We are in 6 states and I am in charge of the dispatch offices and well all the projects in the company. The gas business is one crazy business and lots of years before I retire.

Structural engineer. Mostly large warehouses but also buildings for Toyota and Freightliner and anything that else brings some $$ in.

I make petroleum based wax

Only that which I want or desire to do. Retired Army 21 years as ADP operator/programmer (IBM punched cards through all the main frames), Retired Civil Service 21 years (Computer programmer, Computer Specialist) and 6 years Retired. Actually I am currently maintaining wife's inventory/records for small business on Ebay. In between times, learning all about POI files and how to improve them. Currently working on the Shell Gas Station file updating all of the Stations not in the current file. Alabama is almost finished with many additions and some changes. Gives me something to do so that I don't have to watch the big shin dig on TV later today.

I manufacture and distribute recreational pharmaceuticals. I give them to an associate who sells them in the corner!

I make oral contraceptives (birth control pills) and a friend is a pharmacist at a local big box.

Computer systems that is.... Tough job but always interesting in a big organisation.

AND looking forward to retirement in a few years!

F-16 Systems Engineer supporting USAF, IAF, HAF, and RSAF.

I am a Test Engineer in the electronics field. I worked in the cable equipment manufacturing industry for 10 years. I worked on automated testing, and verified engineering designs for 14 years for a company that manufactured test equipment for testing fiberoptic and ethernet networks. For the last 3 years I write automated test code for a company that builds processor based control boards for the auto industry. So yes I am into technology.

I have enjoyed 4 1/2 years of retirement and enjoying grandchildren and not getting up early.
