    I also own & run a web desgin, hosting and computer repair business that consumes almost all my spare time. Hopefuly soon, it will be my only income... it's just too early to feel comfortable leaving my day job.

    I'm a Regional Manager for a large company based in the East. I have 8 people that report to me and I travel quite a bit for this company.

    We supply all of the non structural components for both the interior and exterior of a Self Storage Building. Not very exciting but it pays the bills and then some.

    Dairy Farmer, I proably work my dodge harder than anyone here. Farming is tough on a truck I haul tractors,equipment, and hay with it all the time. I'd say when I am towing with it, 50% of the time its overloaded. :D

    Programmer for a company specializing in medical billing software for hospitals/dr's offices. Not real exciting, in fact it's pretty boring, but it does buy a lot of K5 parts. :D

    Computer programming and architecture consultant. Currently under contract as architect and lead programmer for a large scale system automation project. Also under contract with IBM Speech Research (talking to your computer) until recently (budget cuts). Sometimes also teach advanced programming techniques and new technologies to experienced programmers (1 week classes). That's why I was in NY and Boston earlier this year.

    I'm a mail processing equipment mechanic for the US Postal Service. I prefer to be involved with projects at work, automating machines, etc., than my regular work. I'm taking the test to become an electronics technician soon, because it pays a little more.

    We have several, multi-million dollar machines in my building to process the mail, as well as computers, labelers, strapping machines, conveyors, etc.

    We do only international mail in my facility.

    I'm a lunch lady, and yes I really do serve mashed potatoes with an ice cream scoop. It's not a huge paycheck but it's nice for a college kid, plus if you work 8 hours you get 2 free meals.:pimp: One meal for 4 hours.

    During the summer at home, I work for a small freight brokerage that my neighbor started 2 years ago.
