I have associated with cows and horses for all my 70 years, except for 3 years in the army and 10 months driving a damn dump truck. Raised on a cow ranch in northern Cal, went a cowboy college( Cal Poly) graduated from the U S Army. Got drunk, got married, shod horses to pay the bills. The bank and I owned a couple hundred cows. Shod horses to support wife, kids and cows. Got divorced and had to sell cows lol. Learned to build custom saddles and ran cows for other folks. It has been a great life. Ed

Space shuttle door gunner... Job is long gone no more space shuttles😭

Professional fish squeezer. In the field 15-20 days a month at times. Hike and camp a lot. The fresh air and scenery get old at times

I don't have a job. I have a business. When my mother asks me what I do I tell her I run around waving my arms in the air.......

Let's see, today I reconciled accounts, harassed a customer for money, drove truck, made three sales calls, fed the fish, arranged for a drug test for the new driver, unloaded the feed from the trailer, designed the plumbing on our new tank, negotiated a sale with one customer, discussed holding facilities requirements with another, reviewed scientific papers for our breeding program with our operations manager, then drove the semi and trailer to the shop for a new ECM and come minor repairs. And made dinner.

I'll bet tomorrow's going to be just as boring.

And suffer no penalty ..................

You watching too much breaking bad???

But damn necessary and damn tough. A high school bud has had a very satisfying career doing the same.

A friend of mine that passed away a few years ago had a pretty good gig. For about 20 years, from about 1965 until 1985 he owned a successful strip club in San Francisco.

Besides making a pretty decent living, money-wise, he said that hardly a single day went by that he didn't have some pretty young thing knocking on his office door, begging to take off her clothes and apply for a job by demonstrating her dancing talents and showing off her assets right there in his private office. I suspect that some of the interviews got rather in-depth.

Surprisingly, some of these girls were accompanied by boyfriends or husbands, urging them on. Apparently the guys couldn't wait to brag to the world that their girl was hot enough to be a paid stripper.

He laughed when he told me that the guys that most wanted their girl to get the job brought in the least attractive or overweight girls and he could tell that it was almost all the guys idea. I guess they thought that it would validate their taste in feminine beauty and stroke their egos if other guys would drool over their girl and stuff dollar bills into her g-string.

He said he would politely tell the plain and ugly ones that he didn't have any openings so as not to hurt their feelings. He said he had no trouble being very picky and hiring only very hot girls because he had a continuous flow of well qualified applicants. That helped make his club quite successful.

He eventually sold the club and retired and moved to the Lake Shasta area where he spent most of the summers on his big houseboat, and competing as a senior water-skier.

He said that he enjoyed his business career and never got tired of the view, or of being around beautiful girls that appreciated their job and the relatively clean and safe environment he took pride in providing. As he said, with a smile, "It was a tough job, but somebody was going to do it, so it might as well be me."

I find and kill king salmon for a living. Both commercial and guiding. It's all I do to pay the bills anymore.. Substitute teach a lot at the elementary/middle school in the winter to keep from driving my wife insane. I worked my way up to being one of the most sought after subs. The $85 a day they pay is kinda embarrassing considering fishing money, but it's more to get out of the house than anything else.

Cal,

Have you thought of guiding and outfitting Brown Bear hunts there?

Total ripoff business with HUGE dividends and NO liabilities or responsibilities. The State requires your services as a BB guide for non-residents. Why not join the rest of America's business model?

Another thought..........open a sobriety clinic in Tenakee Springs and/or Hoonah. Rich-a-mundo.

That's not true. That road runs clear up to Fox!

This cool enough?

I've been doing fire protection engineering for over 18 years now. Has been a good gig, got to do some travel and have learned a lot.

Through a combination of events in the past couple months that's turned into starting my own consulting firm, becoming a adjunct professor and working part time for a friends engineering firm.

Having a strictly desk job drives me nuts and I wasn't getting enough field time to stay sane. The new gigs seem to have enough balls in the air to keep me engaged.

There are a lot of things I've done as hobbies I'd hate as a profession.

Damn!

Because of the time difference over the Atlantic, 5sdad beats me to it this time!

Great minds think alike...
