What do you do for a living?

[Krell1]

I am retired, 20 years in the Air Force, work 15 years as a mental health counselor and 10 years as a addiction counselor. Now I work at shooting, reloading, shooting reloading. Did I say I am retired.

Ditto with regard to the retired part and the shooting, reloading shooting, reloading, shooting, oh, you get it!!!!!!!!! My wife thinks I'm obsessed with the shooting, reloading part, maybe you could give me some mental health counseling??? On second thought, I think I'll just go shooting. And then maybe do some more reloading.

I don't do anything. And I rarely start that before noon. I prefer to start late, close up shop early with lots of long breaks and naps. Generous vacations and unlimited sick days. Production is poor and it don't pay much but I'm my own boss.

Retired on 01/01/01

I haven't looked back.....

I'm kinda like Walkin' Jack. Cept I make sorry take a look. Kinda like a snow goose wake up and go where I want to. That should not be misconstrued as no direction , or is it? Chased pipeline around the world till 1997 then tied down the brake and went to the house. Load, shoot and trade.

Spent almost thirty years teaching at a university and volunteering with my pack string during the summer helping the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service pack supplies into their trail crews.

Still have the pack string...or what's left of them (lead mare and three good mules). Now, I head up into the mountains with my sons to their elk camp in the fall and pack grandkids around on the mules in the summer. Still do a lot of shooting and fly fishing.

Packing the grandkids.

Life is good.

 

[Rick_A]

Spent my best four years as an infantryman, the next couple in general construction, then sold car parts while I went to school. The next several years were spent having fun in the motorcycle industry. The last few have been at a gun shop.

I'm running out of hobbies to work at...

At this point I've done and have about 90% of what I've wanted to get out of life. Figuring being about half way through, I think I'm doing alright.

 

[Evil Dog]

Totally retired..... best job I've ever had.

Mostly breathe (poorly), walk my dog, and hang out here, boring you nice people.

Retired a month before my 71st birthday, for medical reasons, after 54 years in the work force. It'll be six years in October.

I'm broke as hell, but I like being retired.
