I thought it would be interesting to see what each of our members and staff did for an occupation?  Please share a little bit about what you do for work, how long have you been doing it?  It is always great to get to know people better. ::cheers::

I will start things off.  I am a business sales rep for Alltel.  My title is Business Solutions Specialist.  I have been working for Alltel (or a company Alltel bought recently) for almost ten years.  I provide wireless communications solutions to businesses.  So, If you have a general cell phone question (any of the cell phone companies), I might be able to help answer it for you.

Retired truck driver working part time at Cabela's so I have something to do.
Having a few investments pay some nice dividends didn't hurt any either.  ;D

Currently I don't do much of anything constructive since I'm a retired Auld Phart. When I was still working like a galley slave, I owned Terrace Hair Design/Neon Beach Suntanning in Uptown Mpls. I did hair for 27+ year's until my arms went bad. After that I rose to my own level of incompetence and found out what I did best. What I did best was slinging BS with all the customer's when I ran the appointment desk for both business' until I retired. ::bs:: :taz: :ROTFLMAO: ;) DIRTBALL2 ;)

Right now I'm a student. I also work on the farm whenever I get the time.

In the past I welded cattle sheds, then I was welding in a manufacturing facility for a while.

Naww man, this aint the singles forum.   :ROTFLMAO:  Seriously, when I first saw that you responded to this, I thought "oh cool, I want to see what he does for a living."  But I just lead myself down the path of disolusionment   ::hittingself::  I guess there are some things we'll never know.  Kinda like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsy Roll Tootsy Pop.   ;D

Grute Man.
I am honored to know that you would be curious about what I do for a living.
I am a couple of different things. I've been a self employed graphic designer for about 18 years (logos, brochures, trade show displays, newsletters, signage, and lately more and more websites). Somewhere in there I became a t-shirt designer/manufacturer and the Fawkinnae Sportsman's Club was born. I'm also a licensed Landscape Architect.

On top of all that, and perhaps the pinnacle of my career, I got to design the MNO logo - which I think has held up nicely.

My goal is to design more projects that relate to the outdoors - especially fishing and hunting.
