What do all you people do for a living?

Sales, engineering, and some design for a small Prototype & Cpmosites Company owned by my brother and I. We mainly focus on medical enclosures from MRI surface coils to large Scanners and cancer therapy equipment. We also prototpe and consult for Mercury Marine and do a lot of testing for the Inflatable group. 27 years same company.

Retire is what you do when the tires need replacement!

Quality Assurance Engineer for an aerospace company. We design, manufacture and overhaul lubrication and scavenge pumps for aircraft engines and rotorcraft gearboxes. (think racecar-type dry-sump systems and you'll get the idea) Before that, 15 years in marine and naval steam turbine design and manufacture @ GE, then some time in between at various machine shops in a Quality function.

Yeah, I'm the guy Manufacturing loves to hate.......broad shouldlers, and all that..

OK, I'll bite...

I am a founding partner in a civil engineering consulting business. We were at a very large firm, that was acquired by another very large firm, which took all the fun out of our jobs. So, we started our own gig 9 years ago, and we're still waiting to see where it takes us.

We design roads, traffic signals, rail transit systems, do corridor and environmental studies, and design the horizontal (roads, drainage, etc) elements of new development projects.
 
Just like some of us here, an IT guy. Computer Software Engineer for a health insurance company located in NYC. Although, 9-5 is not bad, I’m looking to have a business that will allow me to get a bigger boat and cruise until I drop :smt100 ........Dream on, I know :smt089

Wouldn’t plan on retiring if I had fun running my business. A boat chartering company would be a nice fit if we didn’t live in the North East.

Project manager for a small Defense & Aerospace contractor.
 
VP and General Manager for a regional ISP in central Kentucky. We provide dial-up, DSL, carrier grade circuits, server co-location, business email/web hosting, business-level wireless (point-to-multipoint and point-to-point bridges), and gigabit ethernet in select office complexes. We do some residential, but most of our services are targeted at businesses.

I also own a server monitoring business that I started back in the dot-com days. Not enough to live on, but makes one hell of a 'toy fund'. :grin:
 
Hey Turtletone: I own a recording studio...we should talk...
 
I am sales manager at a company that sells automotive parts.
Working for GKN driveline for ten years now, before that I owned a wholesaler company in automotive parts.
When we sold that company , we invested that money in real estate. That was a good choice :grin:

GKN driveline is a leading company in the OEM manufacturing of drive shafts for most of the auto manufacturers worldwide.

Also we sell a product called Aquadrive.
This is a product build on the driveshaft on boats to reduce the vibrations.
