What do you do for a living?

I see some of yall with multiple $100 lights and it got me to wondering, "Are these guys retired millionaires or do they take out a second mortgage to pay for these lights?" Anyway, just wodndering what yall do to pay for the toys.

I am a "draftsman" so to speak. I do computer drafting with AutoCAD. Urban Planning for The Woodlands just north of Houston, Texas. It's a master planned community of @ 29,000 acres started by oil tycoon George Mitchell.

Re: What do you do for a living?

if you're just doing it for the money, it probably wouldn't be worth it...

you can probably get to the point where you're on it 6 hours a day, and selling things right and left, but for the amount of work you put into it, you never get enough money out of it.

i primarily do it because i can. cpf is full of wonderful people with wonderful ideas, if i can help some of those ideas become a reality than i'll do my best.
right now it is my only source of income, and it's enough to pay $100 insurance a month, and the occasional frozen pizza, but certainly not enough to live on.

the best thing about a lathe is certainly being able to make your own things. normally i'd rather not make things for others, because it takes time away from what i can design for myself. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

you can make a few $$ on the side, but i wouldn't really say it's worth it for the amount of work involved...


somebody find me a real job! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif

Re: What do you do for a living?

I am a ex rocket scientist. Used to work for for NASA from the early 90's to May of 2002. Now my wife is a practicing doctor (OBY/GYN) and I am the Mr. Mom. Let me tell you this working in a high pressure job is about the same as taking care of a kid. But, taking care of the Kid is more rewarding.

This place is my hobby/fun time. Making mods is fun

Re: What do you do for a living?

For a living? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif Hmmmm... Kmart doesn't pay enough to live on... so I guess working as a cashier part time there is just a hobby... and a fun one at that! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif ... but for a living? I guess I take care of the house and kids and my husband so that he can make a living as a CSI and not be bothered by the small stuff. Or maybe I'm just an oxygen thief? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif
