:shock:
What the,what?!? Iraq/ Afghanistan?

And since you asked, ive been a textile and flatstock screen printer , and a local crew stagehand most one my adult life.

Starting a new business though. My partner and I are making BDSM toys out of recycled material and putting them in retail shops locally. Then were going to open a,web store and try to expand. I'm the labor and brains, shes the idea generator and,salesperson. We aren't the only ones doing it, but ours are the best out there.

A pic of a prototype is here;)
 
I work as an ethnobotanical researcher and project manager in the non-profit sector. Other office responsibilities include general IT and networking, smiling, coffee making and kitchen cleaning...chop wood, carry water :d

I'm hoping to start a business selling plants, seeds, and medicinal mushroom products within the next three years. Long-term goal is to become an expert in mycoremediation and permaculture.

I occasionally spin fire for events (corporate, weddings, parties etc.), which offers a nice supplement to my income, but prefer to perform for friends/family and personal creative expression. I feel super grateful and fulfilled by all of these amazing facets of my life - every day is saturated with passion and disciplined progression. :thumb_up:

No not for war, just for fun and professional filming purposes. Fpv aka First person view is a favourite, ripping around with a car that size of a rabbit or flying high with a plane, heli or multirotor, #fun.

Although I would be interested in protecting endangered wildlife from poachers; most likely with inferred vision at night.
 
I'm the editor of a magazine and based in the UK.

Hunter S. Thompson has been an influence on both my career, and the reason I'm here to talk about DMT :D

Mechanical inspector for the railroad.

In the last couple i years i have stumbled upon becoming a train mechanic and driver on a privately rented bit of railway in the mountains. I think that it has to be one of the best jobs that i have ever had.

I don't work on them I just inspect them to make sure they are mechanically sound, easy as pie, and pays very well. I do like my job.
Good to hear you like it too.:)

How difficult was it to break into this type of work spaced?
I live right next to a large automotive manufacturing plant with railroads running in & out all over the surrounding cities.
I have spent enough time walking the railroads in my life & it never struck me as a potential career path.

You have to find out who or what company owns those tracks, this depends on your location/territory. Companies like Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, BNSF etc. have their own territories that they run. Mine takes care of all eastern seaboard and as far West as Chicago. I would start by just doing some quick Internet searches in your area for railroad jobs, this should at least point you in the right direction as far as what territory your in and then you'll know who the company is that owns all them tracks. Or you can pm me with your area (not exact location) and I can send you info on who runs that territory.
Hope this helps
It is kinda difficult getting your foot in the door, at least for the company I work for. If it wasn't for a friend working there and pulling strings I might not of got on, they tend to hire ex military over regular people, maybe an incentive or something? They do an extreme background check all the way back to high school transcripts. Hair sample drug test, a thorough physical including a biodex machine workout and more. I think it's easier getting on at CIA, :lol: I would say that I got lucky with this one, and I highly doubt I'll be going anywhere else.
 
I work at a large propane storage facility. Certainly not my dream job, but pretty cool otherwise. I get to play with a big train, moving rail cars around, and I get to work outside. I have a good bit of down time most days to read, research, watch Netflix, catch up on sleep, practice my golf swing. And it pays pretty well so I can live comfortably and maintain all the fun hobby's and projects I get into. Maybe some day I'll pursue something I'm passionate about, but I'm having fun for now.:thumb_up:
 
i do security work, mostly at partys
and train people in martial arts (german walkingstick fencing)
and make the right sticks for it
i make small wooden stuff, mostly 6mm cigarette tips
oh and fluffy hats, for the nuclear winter 😁

aaaand make blacklight-bondage performenances (but i'm not sure if i'm allowed to post my fb- page here)

i'm quite sure, i forgot some things...
but if any of this, is a carreer, i don't know:grin:
