i am a flyer my job is i do everything so all my press operator has to do is push a few buttons

its fun loading 2500 pound rolls of paper dippin ink in and out all the fun dirty stuff that no one else wants to do

I'm a route driver, delivering chips and other snacks. A good job for me, I can pretty much work my own  schedule as long as all my stops are done by the end of the week. I stayed out 'til 3:30 this morning catfishing, so I took the day off and will work Saturday if I need to.

On the weekends, I'm a lead guitarist/bassist/vocalist in a couple local country/classic rock bands.

Retired Pa State Trooper.  Currently work golf course maintenance at Paris Landing State Park in NW TN.

I design and develop proprietary software for small and medium sized businesses. Since I am part owner of the company I work for, I am always thinking about programming when I am fishing, and thinking about fishing when I am programming.

I own a print shop.  We manufacture and sell personalized receipt books.  I have no printing experience and would not know how to run a press if it bit me.  All our printing is done on Risographs (digital duplicators that look like Xerox machines but have an ink drum in them instead of toner.)  Just thought I would throw that in there because it looks like we have several people in the printing industry here.  The huge upside to my job is that I only physically go in to the office about 3 days a week so I have plenty of time to fish.

I'm a merchandiser for Flowers food. My brother owns a bread route (least for another couple month then he selling it back.)

I just do pull ups and ride with my brother on route.

It gets me started in that kind of business and gain valuable experience for when I turn 21 I can get one of those job very easily.

Insurance consultant - no sales.

Commercial, industrial, manufacturing, retail, schools and municipals are my clients.

I try to help my clients screw the insurance companies before the insurance companies screw them.

I have to dress like a banker for business meetings so it is great to go fishing like a normal person and wear fun clothes and relax from all of the stress of fighting underwriters, agents and claims adjusters.

A number of my clients told me that they can't imagine me in a Big Johnson tee shirt, cut offs, tennis shoes and going fishing or to a NASCAR race.

Fishing is my "You Only Live Twice" life and I keep it totally separate from my career.
