Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire anyone have a cool job

I've been driving truck for the last few years. I'm getting sick of sitting and delivering product. I'm looking for a job that doesn't require a ton of sitting, lifting, or require extra long hours....HAHA anyone have any recommendations for me? I'm not opposed to going to school for a few years to get where I need to be.

Brain surgeon comes to mind, pays well I assume. From the brains I'm around daily out in the world, heavy lifting wouldn't be required.

Weatherman, lie and get paid for it.

I kinda like my job most days - yesterday I did 4 surgeries in front of a 9th grade biology class on a field trip to the clinic, including one on a prairie falcon

hmm - I'm on the other end of your job. I find carriers to haul freight for my client.

My client makes condoms (amongst other things) but being able to say "I shipped 40,000 lbs worth of rubbers today" is kinda cool.

I guess you could say I cover loads - twice.

You ship loads and catch loads?

Information Technology "Help Desk".

Not much sitting and plenty of interesting folks to meet.... over and over and OVER.

AND.... there isn't any real expectation of a fix for the difficult things, just take the computer and replace it with a look-alike.

P. S. Free food too... if you don't mind shaking it out from the inside of a keyboard first.

There was a time I told people that I worked in the AIDS lab and I'd keep an eye out for their name on a specimen.

We also did rabies evaluations which entailed necropsies on critter heads - everything from mice to cats and dogs, wolves, coyotes, and all three flavors of bears.

I thought "Turn it off and back on" was the only way to do that job?

If I had to do it again, based on my interests more so than economics, I'd look hard at machinist. I guess in certain areas of the country you can make a decent living at it. But having access to a lathe and being able to create items for your own hobbies would be fun.

I can also say I've shipped truck loads of KY Jelly and KY brand materials.

Trying to get them to send me some samples of the beads and a sling shot to get in trouble with around the office.

Same qualifications for politician.

Work in prudhoe bay, some pretty cool jobs in the winter.

I just left a job I hated for a job I love. I was a electrician for a company that did mainly commercial wireing. I am now in maintenance. The only time I get pissed during the day is when I'm doing something electrical. I have done plumbing, electrical, flooring, hung drywall you name it but I was in the electrical trade for 20 years and it's by far the most aggravating. I do a lot of fabrication now and really like it. I even get the chance to weld on occasion now. I don't,do a lot of lifting but a little.

Hope you find something you will enjoy, your quality of life increases 100 fold when you don't wake up every morning wishing someone would shoot you. It was like f'n groundhog day!

You, sir, are a very blessed man...

I have finally landed the best job I have had in 40 years. Today I handloaded for a 44 Mag sixgun, a 375 H&H and an 8x57. Then I hung a cabinet in the garage to get my powder storage out of the house. I just sat down with a drink after canning a couple of jars of garlic/habanero pickles.
