I wonder if that is as fucking cool as it sounds. (aside from the ultra danger part.)[/quote]

are you Jack Bauer???

I’m a telecommunication engineer but act as a marketing senior advisor for capitalist venture firm.

I’m supposedly a Postgrad Research student in Archaeology, but I don’t do a huge amount of that. As of Saturday I’m a bar manager for my College which means I get to deal with a whole load of p*ssed idiots…

I am a professional underachiever.

harder then it sounds…

Getting stoked for football season!

How did you get that job? Sounds exciting, but that’s because I like to fancy myself as a gambler.

It was something I just stumbled into. I moved to Costa Rica a few years ago. My kids invited some classmates over to the pool one weekend and one of their parents is the owner.

It can be exciting at times…I personally am not a gambler…but I am commission only in this job. I make a % of my client’s losses…so it can really get exciting (stressful) when one field goal, touchdown or missed extra point means the difference between me making a few thousand dollars or not. ;p

Well, it sounds like you’re a gambler than, just do not have any choice in the matter and you do not have to front your own money.[/quote]

You may have a point there. Maybe I’m a passive gambler…living vicariously through my clients’ action. ;p

In the mid to late 90’s I was a Series 3 Futures/Options Broker for a small firm in Miami. Seems I’ve always preferred the risk/reward ratio of pure commission gigs to get my thrills.

must be awesome.

Massage therapist. Not as hard work as some here, but its pretty demanding. Weight lifting helps a whole lot. Therapists can get injured overusing muscles because other muscles are weak.

I fly helicopters.

This is part of what I do…

I’m apprenticing as a construction electrician. Not once in my life will I ever have to pay an electrician for labor.

Once, I met a man who had red seal certifications for carpentry, plumbing, and electrical. He said that his son was an architect and claimed to build his own house by himself. Bullshit? Maybe.

I used to be in IT awhile back, I was doing some help desk/QA work for a couple years. I got laid off twice in that industry, decided I wasn’t going be having that anymore and went into the mortgage industy. The mortgage industry treated me well for awhile, that is, till the economy tanked. As of right now, I’m unemployed but the important thing is, I still have a positive outlook.

I’m in the Navy. I work in the Nuclear power plant of an aircraft carrier.

I work for good old NMCI, aka the devil
You navy and marine guys know what I am talking about.

I work in sheet metal… lifting and bending steel all day… then pump the iron at night! I’ve even fabricated some of my own pieces of workout equipment. On the side, I am an artist and sell my paintings on Ebay.
