So what do you do for a living?


Recommended Posts

If you read my profile, you'll see that I'm a profesional scouter.

 

What do you do for a living? I'm trying to sample a large cross-section of scouters to make sure we have a large section of scouters.

 

It's not a scientific survey. I'm just curious.

 

If you're a lurker -- and that's one who reads, but doesn't post, and I'm okay with that -- I encourage you to take a moment to register and answer the question.

 

If you're an un-confident lurker who would like to post something, I encourage you to try it! This is a great group of people. After all, if I'm not afraid to try it (profesionals usually get the stuffin' kicked out of them when they jumpp into a well and completely volunter-run group like this,) you shouldn't be.

 

So go ahead! What do you do?

I'm a helicopter pilot for the US Navy.

Okay, then I"ll play nice.  

I build aircraft carriers for Her Majesty :-D

I'm a licensed social worker. I do tobacco cessation phone coaching for a "living." I decided I wanted a job that offers me flexibility to do my Scouter duties (which have expanded significantly over the past two years).

I have worked as an electrician and lineman since quitting college in 1973. I am currently working as an electrical and instrumentation superintendent on construction projects at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. This work keeps me away for up to 2 1/2 months at a time. With my present work schedule I have not been able to work with Boy Scouts in the past 6 years.

I am a Medicare Compliance Consultant specializing in Hospital Outpatient Billing. In the past I traveled all over the country visiting hospitals, from Pensacola, Forida to Karmela, Hawaii (big island). With stops on Whidbey Island, Washington to Eagle Pass, Texas. (There's a Dickies plant just one block from the Rio Grande)

 

Currently I have a unique position in the company, I work from my home. I sit at my desk and answer E-Mail questions, and phone questions from our clients. You have to remember, Medicare regulations come from the same people who bring you the IRS tax code, so its always a challenge and always changing.

Well, in life before my little scouts, i was editor for 2 monthly Broadcast publications (for advertising agencies). Post kids...i'm, still in publishing, working on Who's Who in America books from the comfort of my home (surrounded by scouting stuff!).

 

I must say scouting is an important part of our family life. I have seen it teach my oldest son (now 14) valuable life lessons, that i know he wouldn't have learned if he wasn't in scouting.

This is great! Keep those cards and letters coming!

 

I had a few jobs before graduating college and joining the profession.

 

My first job, of course, was handicrafts director at Camp Rota-Kiwan in Kalamazoo. They hired me at 14 years old (when the inspectors came that year, the camp director wished me a happy 16th birthday. I kept my mouth shut about my age, but it was a little difficult because my father was on the camping committee and had to pretend to be my older brother.)

 

I also worked as a library page, dishwasher, clothing salesman and did 7 years of camp staff.

 

Thanks for you input. Keep it coming, please

Since moving to the UK last summer: a full time mom (or mum as they say here).

 

Before that, a legal editor at a publishing company in New York City.

 

If I turn on the Wayback Machine: I've been a waitress, hotel chambermaid, clerk, contracts administrator and practicing lawyer.

 

I'm now the leader for my third grade daughter's Brownie troop. This is my first contact with Scouting since I was a Girl Scout myself.
