My username probably gives me away. We provide property maintenance. In year 15 and my job is similar to huntn2 in that most days I am working on logistical stuff and efficiencies. We offer lawn and landscape maintenance, install new lawns and landscapes, sweep parking lots at night, and move snow in the winter. We also manage some properties and I have some rentals of my own. It has been a long road, but we make a go at it.

We also own Hank Tucker Outdoors. Sell tree stands, ground blinds, install food plots, and track deer with our dogs ( Hank and my buddy's dog Tucker. Lol)

I am a box humper (material handler) I work for GE handling jet engine parts, either putting them on the shelf or pulling them off the shelf packing them up and sending them off to the customer or to assembly build sites.. I have been here for 6 years now on 3rd shift the whole time.

I am in the HVAC and plumbing industry. Mostly the residential side of it but we also get into light commercial. It is a family owned business that was started by my father and grandfather 54 years ago. Looking forward to taking over my dads portion when he retires.

I am a personal banker at a small/medium size regional bank. I do everything from writing loans, opening accounts, answering phones to balancing checkbooks. I am currently studying for my Series 6/63 licenses so I can offer securities and investments.

Iam a union Ironworker. I have 28 years in the trade. I've worked all over this great State of ours! It's a very gratifying job. I build bridges mostly. I have met some great people over the years and most of the guys in the building trades like to deer hunt!

Thats what I did in the military! COULD NOT get a job in the civilian world cause every place I talked to required you had to be in the union for 5 years.. Thats one reason I picked that job in the military cause I thought I could do it when I got out.. Guess not.

Don't fall for the 5 year crap. Get with one of the Union Halls and find out when sign-ups are. On your interview, make sure you put down your experience, and your military exp as well. I know it's hard (as I done it) to start at the bottom again, but has been well worth it in the long haul.

I am a Chemical Operator at DuPont in Parkersburg, WV, working 12hr shifts. I've been there for six years now. Can't complain about the pay, but work with some of the laziest people I have ever met!
