aero3113 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Just curious to see what everyone on this site does for their profession (Hopefully everyone is still employed). I manage 2 corporate jets for a company on long island, I am responsible for everything completed on the aircraft from maintenance, paperwork and airworthy releases. It is a big responsibility but I love to get up and go to work . Here are my two babies . How would you guys like to have that hangar for a garage!!! Gulfstream GIV Challenger 601-3A Quote

RobertKB Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 Love the hangar pictures. Sure would be nice to fill it up with old cars! I am a retired teacher (31 years teaching junior high). Now buy old cars and part them out and sell photographs through a couple of art galleries and have a website also. http://www.prairieironphotography.com/ I enjoy my grandson and have another grandchild due any day. My daughter and her husband chose not to know gender this time around. Just want he/she to arrive safely! Quote

IronMike Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 After spending 10 years running juvenile detention facilities, I became burnt out and switched careers about 8 years ago.......I still can't believe that I left the safety of prison to become a public high school special education teacher and a football coach Quote
55 Fargo Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 After spending 10 years running juvenile detention facilities, I became burnt out and switched careers about 8 years ago.......I still can't believe that I left the safety of prison to become a public high school special education teacher and a football coach Brother I have the utmost repect for you, working with Young offenders, troubled teens are unbelievably tough to work with. That is a very high stress burn-out career. I at one point worked in a secure custody group home center, I only stayed 1 year, then went back to Adult Corrections, working in a prison is sometimes a lot easier that working with juvies. I now work in a Minimum Security Prison Farm, it is a cake walk compared to kids or a Medium/Maximum security jail like the Main Prison next door to my workplace, I also worked medium and Maximum security during my career.............Fred Quote

Loved my job and got to go out on surface crafts for testing purposes and submarines for dive test. Needless to say all my submarine test were successful.
