what is your occupation ?
Just wondering what everyone does for a living around the world. I am a maintenance foreman (underground coal mine). Tough work sometimes but it pays for my diesel habit.

I am a line operator at a food factory. I have between 2 to 10 people below me in any given day. Most right around 3-4. I am in a apprenticeship program for line mechanics.

Full time service manager for a marine dealership. Own my own company in addition to the full time job (marine related). Volunteer firefighter on top of that. (WOW no wonder I'm tired.)
If anyone is qualified to work on outboard motors I'm hiring in East Texas.
