What does everyone do here for work?

I'm sure everyone here isn't full time photographers.  So what is your full time occupation?  I'm a marketing rep looking to go full time photographer this year.  

I'm just making small talk to meet others on this site.  I just signed up here yesterday.

I host artistic workshops and tours in Tuscany, Italy, including photography workshops.  Observing the photography workshops started my interest in photography.

My brother is a truck driver.  He drives back and forth from California to Florida like 3 or 4 times a month.    Not an easy job in my book.  Are you instate or do  you drive distance?

I am a semiretired concretepump operator. I now do home repairs, and such for the moment. I have been in pretty much all of the building trades, and have even done some manufacturing work as well.

I am currently a full time student. Hopefully I'll do a small time photography business in the future, that's my planning.

Visual media specialist or some such thing.

I work full time for a Christian organisation that trains pastors in China. I make all their visual media materials (video, photography, newsletters, monthly emails, promotional materials and so forth). I also have my side business doing video and photography.

I'm a technical project manager. Computer Science degree and I went from being a developer to project manager over the years. But currently in a mid-life crisis that has me itching to be a full-time photographer! It's just so hard to get into successfully and consistently enough to pay the bills and support the family!

I'm probably going to be a University student forever and we'll see how long it takes before the student loan agency figures out that I'll never actually finish a degree.

Then, when they've taken all my money and repossessed all my stuff, I expect to move downtown, selling rocks out of my two-story cardboard box.

I once had reason to ask one of my grade 8 students where his father worked.  He replied, "My dad doesn't work.  He's a teacher."

Likewise, me.  High school science.

That would be interstate and intrastate. He's interstate. I retired at 60 from road driving, 49 states and Canada. Today to keep busy I feed my chicken, pigeons and my rabbit. Have three bird dog's. Spend the trial seasons at field trials taking photo's. Also have a hoot building photo frames from old barn wood, barn wood with an attitude. Was approached yesterday to make a frame for the winner's certificate for next years AKC Western Brittany Futurity. Designed myself a new frame for it last night. Put together but not finished.

This is one of my photo's in one of my frames. 9x18
