Interesting thread...
I'm finishing up a graduate degree studying how to use computers in public schools. Before that, I was a web master for a major computer company, and before that, a public school teacher. -

Neither, I don't underwrite, but we do take calls from advisors only. So it's not a typical CSR type job. If that makes sense. We work on the cases and tie up any ends. Leave the actual UW to the UWERs everything and anything else....that's me. -

Good point! I'm a senior technical lead and IT manager for a $600 mil utility metering company. I used to be a Mediterranean fine dining chef, and really enjoyed it a lot more (my feet would say otherwise...).
Do I like what I do? Eh, its Ok but it pays the bills a lot better than chef'ing. There's something to be said for having a tangible item at the end of the day. If I spend all day writing a script that automates Windows installations around the world, its still not something I can hold in my hand. Or more imporantly, I can't eat it! I think there was better camaraderie in a kitchen, too.
I was the chef at a nice brew pub many years back, would also love to brew beer. -
I love what I do, but there are also other things I would love to do that I know wouldn't pay well enough to support much of a lifestyle. It's awesome for anyone who can turn their hobby into their career.

audiobliss wrote:Wow. I bet you have a pretty good feeling about job security, eh?
Late response to audiobliss....unfortunately, I may be forced to find another job due to lack of career advancement opportunities, and perhaps more importantly, conflicting political/corporate agenda from the very top. I am just a lowly analyst and I don't need giant telecommunication companies and their political allies within this government agency forcing me to do things I am not comfortable with. -
I work on dredging, shore erosion, beach nourishment, public access, and other waterways related issues and infrastructure for a town on Cape Cod
-
oh yeah, I am also starting to install home audio/video systems. Got my first job yesterday. weekend job that will hopefully work out. It would be nice to work for myself.

That makes me think about a co-worker who retired just last week working 38.5 yrs. I worked with him for the past 8 yrs myself, wishing him and you a nice retirement.
