Kinda just doing whatever that gets me by.I do not have much to speak of since I'm just a young buck.Started out doing Glazing in the construction field when I got out of high school. Downturn of the economy caused me to be laid off from construction. Got into manufacturing for a little bit as spotty as it was. Worked in a lumber mill for a little bit. Too dangerous for my taste...Now, I'm trying to get back into Glazing as it seems like construction is picking back up a bit.Been a volunteer firefighter for the past year and going on a half.The sky is the limit... Would like to be a FF/Paramedic.

Sales for Drywall and Steel framing mainly, but also sale about any construction related tool you can think of as well as anything else for the building industry materials wise I can get my hands on. Been here going on 7 years, since right out of college, and spent the first 4.5 in purchasing and the last 2+ selling it. Then there is all that hobby type stuff like anyone else.

From the time I was 15 or so till the end of October of last year I worked for my dad building storage barns and doing whatever other construction projects people had for him to do, then last year I started at a local trucking company washing trucks and since about a month ago I am now a maintenance mechanic for the same company.On the side I also do repairs on just about anything electronics, computers, cars/trucks, lawn equipment, and the list goes on.I'm thinking about possibly joining the USAF here in the next year or so too but I'm still not quite sure what I want to do yet.

Guess that I am lucky that I am still young enough to be able to do it. Although at times it is frustrating, such as today. We went out to move some cows and calves, it did not go as planned. Calves went one way, cows went another way and we had no dogs to help. But most of the time it is very enjoyable.

Bill, it's not that we're 'to old now for a change' ... It's that we've finally found a somewhat comfort zone that took years and years to get, and it's hard to give it up.

I map fracs for a living. Used to frac for a living. Mechanical engineer by training but getting close to something like geophysics/fracture engineer/petroleum engineering at this point... I get a lot of field time on my projects as well, which is nice.

I farm some land and run cows with my Dad. We run a custom silage operation in the summer and in winter I usually find a job running dozer doing oil field construction.

I hear what you're saying Jonathan. Ever heard of, or been to a seminar on stockmanship by Bud Williams? I've been to a couple and it's made a huge difference in how we handle our cattle.
