Curious. What do you do for a living?

[fendman]

Didn't realise all you guys had such really interesting jobs, I am an ex TV/Video engineer, I know I am classed as a dinosaur. Technology moving so quickly more or less saw me off...as did the Myochardial Infarction a couple of years ago. But, hey I am still here and getting stronger everyday I always say to myself there are so many people out there a lot worse of than you.

I have a lot of admiration for the guys who work in all the various hospital departments, they  do a great job 
I see a few of the guys here work in that field..Well done.

So building pedals and playing the guitars most days is a great satisfaction, its something I really cherish and hope I can keep doing for some time to come. And nearly forgot...laughing with Jimilee

Enjoy
Mike

am i the only economics/finance guy in the forum?

Doesn't eye banking count as finance??

[snz728]

I work at a culinary school and they have me teach economics among other things if that counts.

 Oh, and the only music job I have is an occasional gig playing the bagpipes.

I would kill to play the pipes.  The original rock and roll sound to me.  Sabbath was the first thing I heard as a kid that was any heavier.

Professional loser here. Never had a real job. I do amp/guitar/electronics repair and mods for two local music shops.

Dude, if you can make a living doing this you're a superstar.  I do it as more of a masochistic hobby but I've layed awake many a night knowing that I know the fix but can't quite get it.  It takes up more of my brain power than my "real" job.  I take repairs FAR too personally.

[gordo]

No shit?! That's the coolest job so far. 

Right? Making pedals has to be mundane compared to fixing a watch!

[culturejam]

[Tag makes a great watch I'd like to get one some day.  I've wanted an Aquaracer for years.

What automatics do you have?

I actually have an Aquaracer chronograph. No kidding, it weighs 7 ounces (200g). It's a beast of a watch!

Other autos: I have a couple Seiko 5 Sports, a mid-grade Bulova, a cheapie Relic, and a surprisingly nice Chinese brand called Parnis that has a power reserve indicator and a retrograde date display.

Other watchs: Luminox (forget which model exactly), Seiko Solar chronograph, cheapie Relic quartz chronograph, and a nice but cheap Casio Tough Solar analog/digital. I also have a couple that I broke that are now in pieces. 

You ever do any custom builds? I might be interested in something like that. 

I want a *real* tourbillon movement, even though it's highly impractical and outrageously expensive. The cheapest one I've seen is a Chinese "cheap" model for $600.

My undergrad degree is in Accounting. I worked for 9 1/2 years in the UPS Airline F&A function. Got tired of counting beans.

Well look at that- I'm working on my undergrad in accounting! Right now, I'm a merchandiser for Nabisco.

Now you build beans!

Much more enjoyable I must say!

I'm a professional role model for dudes in beer and deodorant/body wash commercials.

The dos Equis guy? Yeah, he doesnt use it all the time, but when he does, he got that from me.




Just kidding.  

I'm a product designer.  But I do like a cold beer.

I'm an Eye Banker. I cut eyes out of the recently deceased and preserve, prepare, and match them up with recipients for human eye tissue transplants.

I wish I made a living with this.  Doesn't even come close. Hopefully I can get a REAL repair gig in Boston so I can stay there.

That's the most metal thing I've ever heard.
