employment thread

Greetings tribe members,

it has come to my attention that there are some younger members, including myself, that are fortunate enough to be able to drive such a great car. I received an email update on the "how old are we" thread and I just thought that this CLK community has come a long way with the addition of new members from time to time. I was wondering your thoughts on a "what do we do for a living" kind of thread.

This thread can serve as a one where other members can lend their expertise to each other or anything along the lines of guidance or maybe even a networking opportunity?

Thoughts?

B

You should have started this with your own info!

But I'll bite....

I am a technology manager, specializing in software development. I'm semi-retired and currently serve on the board of directors for a small software company where I also do pretty much anything and everything there as needed.

Bankers aren't villains. California's Franchise Tax Board owns the exclusive rights to that job title.

OK, debt collector wins the contest for most despicable occupation! Seriously, though, without them, I wouldn't have a job - my company writes software for debt collectors.

This is a great thread, no matter what the OP does! I might find some ideas for an extra part-time income stream! I work building cell sites in the mobile phone industry. I do the leasing and zoning for towers and rooftops in NE, currently for AT&T.
