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.
