So what do you do for a living?


Recommended Posts

Good on you for putting your living up there Andrew. I was out of work on compo having left the Army and succumbed to the Western worlds prejudice against men who are without work. Dented my mental health and self esteem I can tell you. We all do what we can and personally I think my contribution to society through Scouting is more valueable than my income from work. I dont do anything for church (another story there) and not much for school. So keep paddling Andrew, you are covering more valueable ground than I.

GM Buy Power Manager for a Chevrolet Dealership. In between battles, I am thankful to have the time to do Scouting. I am also lucky that the dealership is very pro-Scouting. We can do unlimited car washes here for fund raising and the management is very supportive in my efforts to be involved in such a great organization.

DS - Thanks for asking a question that has no controversy!

 

It seems that the most popular occupations are military or technology. Well, I'm a former Army-brat that works in the technology sector. Currently, I am Sr. Manager over Web Technologies for a "major quick-service restaurant company".

 

Thanks for keeping the message boards alive!

Hi,

 

I run an underground railway to help get Gays out of the Bible-belt.

Sorry, Dave I couldn't resist. 9 pages and no controversy???

Naw, really I'm a central office technician for Vz in a little town in the Texas Hill Country. BTW, Eamonn, this is a great place to retire to. Warm might be an understatement, but the winters are mild!

Have been a carpenter, worked in an aluminum plant, x-rayed welds in pipes for a refinery, played piano in a house of ill repute, now play for church, electronic tech, dispatcher, painter (buildings, not art) and sold real estate.

Now I play with the grandbaby, and enjoy scouting when I get away from the phone company

 

ya'll come visit Texas

Police Officer for 14 years, last 5 1/2 as a detective. Six years as DARE/crime prevention.

 

About 18 months ago I decided I wasn't busy enough raising 5 boys (2 in cubs, 1 can't wait and 2 more who aren't old enough to know yet) so I got a job as a paid-on-call firefighter/EMT.

 

I also do occasional "hospitality" (translate:security) jobs for the Catholic Archdiocese where I live.

 

How did I become Cubmaster. Easy. The former CM and current Committee Chair saw I had 5 boys coming up and he knew he had his replacement.

 

I have posted some but not in a while. Been doing plenty o'lurkin however.

Man, SPL, you got it good... seven hours a week;)

 

I average about 9 hours at school a day, 5 days a week. And then a couple on the weekend as well.

 

Hopefully, in 3 years, I will be promoted to a major school (in which most of you know what I'm talking about) and then many more years doing that;)
