Title: making a living
Post by: povertyjet on May 26, 2009, 09:53:51 PM

Probably already a thread on here, but I couldn't find one.

I am an Industrial demolition supervisor.  Work primarily in petrochemical and aerospace industries.

Fun with an 80,000# Cat 330 excavator + 5,500 psi LeBounty hydraulic shear = 80,000 barrel tank on the ground and in the back of a semi in 3 days.

These machines require alot more love than an Olds 455.

I'll play...

I sell property information. We collect information on all types of Real Estate Nationwide and can sell it in just about any form you could ever want.

Basically I sit at a desk all day and talk on the phone and write emails, it can be boring but it pays the bills.

QA is a cool job. Did that for a couple years for U-Haul's Technical Center until we agreed that my standard of quality control wasn't to their low level of standards. We agreed to disagree, and so I went back to Retail, which I missed anyway.

I'm a specialty manager for The Home Depot.

Mining so play with excavator and explosives along with drills, etcetera. Jobs a little easy--dig get rock samples and send them off to an Assayer. Sit around waiting for the results--make report and then help explain those results to stock analysts and the odd stock broker or two, etcetera. Translate the geology!

I'm seriously considering starting a small jet and V-drive; shop copy Jet Boat Performance too fill my spare time. Once I get out from paying for two houses and other misc. expenses under control!  :banghead:

I dont have time for the boat. I just got it a few months ago and have only taken it out 3 times. I guess I'm saving money on gas and also keeping the rods in it for awhile. It kills me to walk out every morning and see it sitting there.  TC

I work in refineries in Carson, Long Beach and Wilmington.  These refineries were built starting at the turn of the century.  Today I came across an interesting artifact that shows that prior to going to war with Nazi Germany, United States industrial corporations apparently had no issues with buying and selling with the Nazis.  This is an 8" gate valve and probably dates from 1931.  Look closely for the swastika.
