What do you do for a living?

It is interesting to know what people do for a living at this site. I am an apprentice industrial insulator by trade. Never a dull moment on the job and it is cool that more and more women are getting into the trades, keep the men on their toes!

edit to add: sorry for derailing this topic! cargor, I agree w/you, it's nice to see a balance in the trade industry! I myself am a meteorologist.

I try to figure out what I want to be when all of me grows up one day

I've a lot of things in the works all at one time, chaos is key

But right now IT pays bills.

Oh and I am considering volunteering for the St Petersburg GP next year. This year
I 've surprised my wife with day/pit passes. Last year I wanted to take some
digital pic's for someone and missed out. This year I won't depend on someone else
to get me in

They just ran in Australia 3 weeks ago I think from what the guy at the promo tent
was telling me when I was checking out one of the display car/shell's.

Next year I will be working with the guy for the sign in, he said I would get to see
most of the racing doing that? not sure but hoping
