Let's see...started my working life as a cashier at the PX, Ft Leavenworth, Ks. Did about 1 year with Hallmark cards making candles. Joined the Air Force, had a bad car wreck and was medically discharged (uncle sam make my bike and car payments). Decided to try school for 4 years. Then it was a cpl of years as a warehouse foreman at the Federal Pen in Bastrop, Tx. Then 15 long years with the Post Office until I went postal. Used all my retirement money running a web design business (that was my retirement...lasted 5 years). For the last 5 years I've been a Probation Officer here in San Angelo, TX. Still trying to come up with another business...much prefer working for myself.
 
I have been in graphic design for to long; from using pencils and paint to magic markers to computers.
Currently self employed Design Consultant.
 
I work at the other end of the food and beverage industry too. (My original joke, OK to use it if you quote me)... I remember telling my 3rd grade teacher when she asked us what we wanted to be. "of course, I want to be a wastewater maintenance manager". Product isn't that great coming in but the water we produce is crystal clear and I work with a great bunch of people.

Should be riding my new shiny red 09 FLHR in a couple of weeks...can't wait, the wait is killing me. Don't get in the way of that delivery truck from PA to CA.
 
Looks like a lot of Telco guys here. Me too, well retired from Bellsouth in S.C. after 35 yrs. Now work in parts and service at Charlie's HD in Huntington, WV

That's some cool stuff Rhino, my dad was in the recycling business. The only reason I'm not in it is he wouldn't let me run the cranes or the shear.....I got the 'that's no job for a girl' speech. Now look at me. :D Big brother & cousins sort of run the biz now, when my dad & uncle let them. :s
