Which Jobs.

Lemme see. Currently, I'm an ASME Authorized Inspector of new constuction boilers and pressure vessels working for an insurance company. Not the greatest job, but it does pay the bills and my back doesn't take a beating.

In my spare time I fight fires, provide EMT services for the town, am a member of the county dive-rescue unit, and like long walks on the beach. Okay maybe not.

After I got out of the Navy (Nuke (EWS) MM(psuedo EM)2/SS/DV), I got my Minnesota Chief Engineer's Class A license and a degree in Nuclear Technology. I tried to get a job as a power plant operator of some sort, but no one would hire me for more than $7. 50/hr.

For recreation, ATV's, home audio (and automation), modifying the Ram. I do some residential HVAC work on the side to keep me in BOMBing money. But at the pace I'm going, I'll have to make it a full time job.

[Big John]

I started out, after graduating Texas A&M, working on a seed farm breeding new varieties of rice and raising seed rice, soy beans, and milo. Started my own operation and farmed for 9 years before I was starved out. I could still be farming, but did not like the idea of working for and worrying about the latest government programs.



Left farming in 1985 and went to work in the local chemical industry. Currently manage a hazardous material terminal on the Texas coast. We unload , store, and pump 24 hours a day to three of the largest chemical facilities on the Texas coast.



Ready to call it quits. Tired of 24 hour on call for the last 17 years. I told my wife that I have it figured out. I can retire now, but she will have to work 'til she is 65! Didn't go over so good. Any advice?
