I think law has the potential to be a very masculine career, but you have to choose the right area. There is way too much litigation already, a lot of which is bullshit, and I see the lawyers participating in this as being largely parasitic. It would, however, be highly noble to defend clients against bullshit lawsuits. Also, feminist types are currently raping the shit out of men in divorce/family court, and the field needs good men to stand up to this. Just be moral and rational and everything else will follow.
I’m a certified personal trainer! What a joke. But I need to do something to pay for school. I’m thinking graphic design right now.
Student studying “Human Physiology”, hoping to go to grad school for biomechanics, and realizing that this major sucks ass, well at least it does at my university.
I’m in my freshmen year of college and don’t know what I’m interested in. I’ve supported myself playing poker for a few years.
But that stuff isn’t really important, we all know lifting is what we do.
Service clerk for a national pharmacy chain. Normally a floor person but I occasionally work in the photo department. I stock shelves, pick up calls, move lots and lots of boxes around etc. Clean the bathrooms and such too.
Not particularly financially rewarding, but it’s a way station to school and I do enjoy the chance to occasionally throw heavy shit around when we get out truck in. My last job was printing labels at a warehouse and it was deathly boring.
I’d really enjoy the chance to work outside but jobs like that are pretty spare nowadays.
Up until a few years ago I had done everything from bus boy/dishwasher to working with small businesses to coordinate insurance plans for their employees. But, for the first time in my life as a personal trainer, I am happy,confiedent and comfortable with my job.

This is slightly retarded. Do what you are good at or enjoy doing. Who the hell cares about white collar/blue collar labels? Not to mention having a white collar job probably means you’ll have more energy after working to train…
That sounds like something you would hear an accountant say.
Lol, you caught me. Does that mean you disagree with me, though?[/quote]
No, I agree entirely. I just wanted to poke some fun at a retarded thread, and couldn’t pass up a perfect chance to get an accountant at the same time ;).
I train guys like Sam Fisher.
Formerly a software test engineer, currently a Marine Corps officer.
Interesting comments guys.
Funnily enough, if asked on dream paper what my dream job would be it might well be a teacher, but I just worry about how much I would enjoy it in reality.
I don’t think its that I want to do something ‘manly’ or even physical, as such, I think its about essentially staying away from bullshit.
The problem I have is that, being so focused when you train and having set goals and hitting them, is greatly satisfying. Then, in a job, where the goal is moving paper or satisfying some bullshit capitalist somewhere you does not even appeciate sucks.
Its the meaningless that gets me.
some kind of movie star or entertainer because fame >
Man Whore, and damn good at it.
Mechanical Engineer, downhole tools, oil and gas industry. Very interesting gig. Can be very desk oriented and very hands on as well.

Yep! We earn good coin but we don’t CREATE anything.
It is also way easier - I don’t have to write code (well I’m in automated testing - performance mostly - but its not real code).
It takes ‘soft skills’. Organising people and telling software engineers they cocked up in a nice way…
Software Salesperson for Microsoft Australia up until 3 months ago. Now a Business Development Manager for one of MS’s largest aussie distributors.

i spend the days psyching myself up for the evenings training session.
Currently a welder/fabricator, previously tree cutter, concrete worker, legal services sales, refrigeration mechanic, and electro-mechanical/ robotics repair tech.
Hopefully- just applied to build linear actuators for precision applications and aerospace stuff.
I gotta settle down at some point, but there is a lot of neat stuff in the world.
