What do you do for work?

Biomedical technician in a small rural hospital and love, almost every minute.

 

as long as the work load let me, for me it was just part of what I did

 

Retired electronic technician.

 

cool! I do wetland work (delineations and mitigation plans) for projects that occasionally involve USDA-NRCS and RD. What type of wetland engineering do you do?

 

Wetland and wildlife biologist here. I usually hike through my project sites but on occasion get to off road a bit; not in my Tacoma though but the company Chevy Colorados. Though a few days ago I was off roading in a rented 4Runner on Wyoming—that was fun.

 

21 OR AT I spent close to 20 years as a journeyman operator building roads. Now I work for the city I live in, operating an automated residential garbage truck.

 

That’s awesome! Don’t meet that many people in my line of work.

I typically do wetland restoration. I start with a farmed or converted wetland and try to restore it back as close to the way the Lord made it as possible. Usually through excavated pits and/or small levees.

About half my time is spent in the field watching for cotton mouths. The rest is spent behind a computer creating the designs on AutoCAD.

i couldn't beat em so i joined em
unfortunately bottings been dead this year so most of the pairs i secure are from raffles/manual purchases :/

 

I'm a wildlife biologist too. You a consultant?

 

I’m a mailman, the underdogs of the federal government or as people call me on the street, the real Santa Claus lol

 

My pops just retired today after 39 years as a rural carrier. Woot!

 

I'm a 911 dispatcher in a small suburban town right outside Boston.
Not a bad gig, almost unlimited overtime-I usually hit my base salary pay by mid July...and the rest of the year is bonus money. Although, I am starting to slow down with taking the OT....

 

911 dispatcher is a tough gig. They have a standing hire notification where I live the highest turnover of any job in the city.

 

I vhave never known a department to be fully staffed for any amount of time. I have been here for 8 years-in that time, in total, we were fully staffed for approximately 1.5 years. Not all at once though. Tough gig. People dont realize the trauma and verbal abuse we deal with every day. Its hard on the soul. Fortunately, that left me years ago...

 

I'm a jack-of all trades, mostly because I was to broke to hire someone, however I have been working in the wholesale building trades 38 yrs and 6 yrs in light auto repair.

Figure I'd throw it up. I teach severe needs kids @ a major school district - my 10th year. Crushing it every day~

 

I think his point was you misspelled it duck trolling retriever not tolling. I knew what you meant my brother in law has a working toller and it is amazing to watch him work, it blows my mind every time it is successful.

 

I’m an environmental consultant as well- typically do environmental review and permitting for utility projects. I’m based in my home in Wisconsin (not much field work for me!), work remote for a small Minnesota firm.
