So whats everybody do?

Seeing another thread on this subject got me thinking(I know thats dangerous.). What does everybody do for a living?

Me i just closed a Lawn and Landscape business I've had for last 15 yrs and moved back here to SC from Fla. At the present I'm doing miscellaneous jobs and hope to get another business going soon.

My dad and I run the family building supply/lumber yard in St George. My granddad started it in 1976 after retiring from the construction business. I sell some parts on the side but Id starve if that was my bread and butter.

I've been designing and building plastic injection molds (a kind of tool & die maker) for 27 years now. I also worked in production machining for 10 years or so. Before that- landscaping, dock hand, boat builder, bag boy, even played trumpet in a disco band very briefly. I miss my leisure suit with the contrasting stitching....
