How do you make a living?

I'm a jack of all trades, master of none

I got my CNE this spring and got my first IT job about 2 months ago.  I'm an engineer on 3rd shift, which means I load a lot of backup tapes and reboot servers.  I'm realizing that the real world is REALLY different than the classroom environment.

In the past I was a Journyman Ironworker (I still work in my friend's shop on weekends), owned my own concrete business, and worked for my dad in his house building business.

I also spent 4 years in the U.S. Air Force doing maintenance on nuclear missiles.

I'm the plant manager for an ice cream factory ... I've had worse jobs!

Which plant?  And are you hiring any Ice Cream testers??   As that's my dream job.

I work for Dreyer's, although depending on where in the country you live you may know it as Edy's.  Believe it or not, you can get tired of eating ice cream.

I'm a casting and tool designer for aluminum die castings. I take care of the creation of tooling to make lots of transmissions and other parts made of aluminum.  I design all the tooling and manage the programs when they are in place.

Before that I used to kill small animals with spears.  It didn't pay that much, but it was fullfilling.

Before that I used to look for and pick up change in parking lots for a guy. I got half.  That didn't pay much either.
