46CoupeSD Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'm an environmental scientist for a civil engineering firm. I get paid to hike through woods and farmland, mapping streams and wetlands along the way. I write reports and permits when developers inevitably want to disturb/impact said streams and wetlands. Additionally, I conduct surveys for threatened and endangered plants and animals, in addition to a variety of other tasks. From what I've gathered, it's one of the few viable careers available for folks with a BS in environmental science. Life is good when your office is the great outdoors! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMC1188 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I am a law enforcement officer in a small town in Ohio. I also run my own Amsoil business doing most of my business with pickups and diesels. I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps stationed in New Orleans from 2007-2011 as well. Seems there are a lot of retired guys on here, well, I'm one of the young ones, and just getting started out!

Bobacuda Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Stream ecologist (biologist) currently working on the habitat for 9 endangered aquatic species . MS degree has allowed me to work in my field since graduation 36 yrs ago. Unfortunately, at this point in my career I have to deal with more of the Engineering Firms and developers, so I spend less time in the field and more behind a desk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Nice, this thread is back up on top. Always interesting to see the eclectic lines of work we all have. A few occupations I never new existed, but (duh) stuff that has to be done. I've moved up and over. Promoted to Chief Patrol Agent for the U.S. Border Patrol's Houlton Sector last year. While employed with Uncle Sugar (this time) I've gone from south Texas, to west Texas, to southeast New Mexico, to Michigan, to western New York, and now Maine. More specifically, we live in northern Maine and my indoor office is in Hodgdon, but the entire State is my worksite (uber cool, half the time I drive a desk, the other half I run amok throughout the State.) Worked in warehousing in NJ for a couple years waiting for USBP to hire me, before that a stint in the Army in Germany holding back the communist horde, then at Ft. Bragg jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. Before that I did general maintenance (anything mechanical, to include the airplanes) and gofer work for a crop dusting company in Santa Rosa, TX. High school before that with the obligatory grocery store bag-boy and stocker experience. Edited October 26, 2016 by Dan Hiebert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingster Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I was a singer/songwriter and author, and currently still write research reports and a new book. I am a professional cabinet maker and have designed a few prices of Art Deco/Moderne furniture. I like to dabble in various things. Next year I am beginning a ministry at churches witnessing to how the Holy Spirit works in our lives. Being in the music business, I need a lot of work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave72dt Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Sure to put a crimp in n the finances, especially with the new property. Does give you a bunch more time to do some of the labor intensive parts of projects. Hopefully you got a good severance or is the new owner going to continue the business.

Ulu Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) My sister-in-law drove a school bus for years. She used to tell stories about how tough the CHP inspectors were during the final examination when she was first licensed. He kept asking her questions and she managed to answer every one. He could not trip her up, so finally he asked her, "How many bolts does the mudflap have?" She didn't want to hesitate, and she didn't want to guess, so she blurted out, "Enough to hold it on!" She drove that catterpiggle school bus over Pacheco Pass twice a day for 20 years. Edited October 26, 2016 by Ulu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
