What do you do?

[Matt Garcia]

I am curious to know what some of the members on here do as a profession. I have only met a handful of the members on here but would like to know where everyone spends the majority of there day.

For myself I am a Sr. Graphic Designer and web developer for a company that does self managed hosting along with a few web applications/products. I have been with the same company for almost 5 years and was one of the few that brought this company from start up to a real profit making business. I love what I do so its easy for me to come to work (at least most of the time!).

So, what do you do for a living? And do you work there because you love what you do or because it pays the bills?

I mostly just post on internet BB's

I am a Title Officer for the family Title and Escrow company.

I'm also the IT department for the company.

I'm involved in a few side businesses as well, mostly for fun..and a little profit.

I do it for the Money, I can't really seem to find something that I would like to do more, that carries such good benefits.

I would like to find a way to use my college degree in Biology though, always loved Science.

I'm a Senior Field Engineer for a company based in Irvine, CA. I've been doing this for 7 yrs now and work either out of my home office or out of a hotel room. My wife manages her dad's vet clinic here in Oregon and just finished her masters and off to med school this year. My job allows my wife to pursue her passion, and pay the bills. I don't dislike my job but by no means is it a passion, long hours and lot's of travel tend to make me want to find a new career once my wife realizes her potential.

We are the ones who are moving big dozers, taking up 3 lanes of traffic, slowing everyone up. I work 70 hrs a week. We are very busy here in Las Vegas with all the construction. My wife is a elementary school P.E. teacher. I'm 25, she is 23, Lovin Life!

I'm the Operations Manager for a city of 10,000 people in Oregon. I manage the water, sewer, storm drain, streets, fleet, parks and facilities. Been at it 21 years, same place. My wife also works at a city next to us. She's a meter reader for the water & electric utility. We both like what we're doing,,, wish we could boat all day long, everyday. We have 3 sons, 21, 23 & 24. They love us (or is it the Tige"?)

Professional sudent, finally graduating with a degree in urban geography in about a month. Looking to do some sort of neighborhood development/re-development as a career. Luckily I have a wonderful wife that pays the bills and supports our expensive habits(boats, BMW, motorcycle :-).

I am a paramedic and Field Training Officer for a private ambulance service in the SF Bay Area. Been with the company almost 23 years. My wife is an IT Administrator for an energy consulting firm in Oakland. I enjoy my job...it's different every day. Challenging, rewarding, and quite often depressing too. Get to see the best and worst in people. Nothing like a weekend on the water in our boat to give me strength to go back to work on Mondays.
