Re: What's Everyone Do For A Living??
What do I do for a living? Good question...
As my father once told me (and this quote comes from a great book, 'The Richest Man in Babylon'):
'Always remember that no matter what job you have - you are ALWAYS working for yourself.'
That said, for a living I am a Father, a Husband, a Son, a Brother, etc. and I support my family as Field Supervisor / Trainer for a Contract Cable Installer.
In my 'previous life', I have worked for some of the largest companies in the world - GE, Chase Manhattan (JP Morgan Chase), US West (Qwest), Nike, Rawlings and the DoD (12 years USAF/RES/ANG) as a Weapons Specialist on F-4s, f-16s and a Crew Chief on C-130s. I also attended Texas Tech (on and off for 3 years - '83, '85, '87) and the University of North Texas ('89-'91). I intend to go back and finish my degree - I have over 170 hours (well more than most degrees require) because I couldn't decide on a major.
I have also had some interesting 'side jobs' over the years - the Easter Bunny at a Mall, a 'Security' officer at Coors Field above the Bullpens in 1995, an extra in a few movies while growing up in Dallas (Including Oliver Stone's 'Born on the 4th of July' & 'JFK' - I got to meet both Tom Cruise and Gary Oldman - and I was chosen for a speaking part by Oliver Stone in 4th of July. It was never used, but I got directed by Oliver Stone for about 20 minutes!)
I am awaiting a settlement from an auto accident that happened last year and may go PT or even quit if I get enough to pay my bills off and go back to school at Johnson&Wales and pursue my Liberal Arts Degree and a Degree in Sports Management. The wife and I plan to move to AZ when the kid graduates in couple of years - great place to be to become an MLB Scout!
Sorry for the 'NOVEL'...
All the best -
Chris

I guess I am a "ball expert"
I am a urologist in the Philly area.

Re: What's Everyone Do For A Living??
Hi, I manage/Coach in Independent baseball. I've been in the Frontier League, Northern League, Central League, All-American Association, Managed in Caserta, Italy of their top division, am currently pitching coach of the Greek National team, was in the movies "61*", "Hardball", and "One in a Million, the Ron LeFlore story". Nothing as far as this year yet, but, after 13 years, I think staying home for a summer will regenerate my batteries.
