+headybrew Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I have seen threads with why people have chosen their handles, who they cache with pet's, people etc... But I have never seen any that ask what you do for a living when your not **Gasp** doing cache related things (I know ~ as if!) I have seen where people have mentioned being a trucker, working for the gov't etc.. and though how interesting! So here it is your chance to tell us what you do! Me? I work in a children's Hospital and am going to school for my Registered Nursing Degree. Thanks for asking! I used to do digital film magic... special effects and stuff. I've worked on many many IMAX films. Now I use computer/digital techniques to restore old films. I've worked on many famous films, such as Star Wars, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, and almost every James Bond film ever made... Many of these films, even fairly recent ones, are in horrible condition. I'm helping to ensure they are around for generations to come... Quote Link to comment

+mizdeeds Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I work to support my golf habit, and since last November, I also work to support my geocaching habit, which costs as much or more than golf when I figure in the cost of putting gas in the cachemobile! I work for a small municipality and have been in charge of red tape for the past 31 years The plan at the moment is to retire next April, so that I can spend more time pursuing my habits.

Seriously, you guys saved my Mom's life last year (brain aneurysm). Well, maybe not your crew personally, but the guys and gals that do what you do. Got her from Neosho to Springfield in time! BTW, I'm a boring Field Engineer for a large third party computer maintenance provider based in Pa.

eutychus Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Such a lot of variety! I'm a radiographer--most people will recognize that this has something to do with X-Ray, but we don't radiograph people for medical reasons, but large metal objects (like foundry castings) for Quality Control. It's part of the nondestructive testing field. My handle has nothing to do with it--it's just the name of a young man in the Bible who fell asleep in church and fell out a window and died.

+Savoy 6 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Paramedic by profession-Bureaucrat by trade- I coordinate all the EMT and Paramedic training for the State of Missouri, plus licensing of services and individuals. And of course other duties as assigned! I'm sure other government workers know that line. Learned years ago I needed a life outside of EMS/Firefighitng, so my old hobby was the Air Force. Took up geocaching after retirement. My geocaching skills are helped by old boy scout training and Air Force survival courses. To paraphrase an old joke, the difference between the Boy Scouts and the Air Force is adult supervision. Quote Link to comment

+Kacky Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) I used to be a full time radio announcer but now I just do it freelance on my computer. I also have a small sewing business that is mainly over the internet, making memory quilts & bears and a draft stopper that I invented. And a couple of times I have charged a fee to design & build websites. So I will be able to go caching on weekdays, then sew all night to make up for it. P.S. : I've taught special needs children from poor/deprived backgrounds for 20 years. (Sniff) End violins. Seriously, I love my job. My kids are adorable (well, most of the time) and I get to play Mommy all day and all evening. I love it so much that I went and got National Board Certification. As the mom of a person with autism, I thank you and worship you. Which reminds me - Terrible Too and I are going virtual-caching the next time I get him home for a weekend. He wouldn't like hunting for things, but driving up to something to take a picture, now THAT's right up his alley! So I'll list his vocation too. He builds birdhouses for a living.

Have been for about 13 years now. Was pretty interesting but getting burned out looking at roads and roadway data. Pay for the hobby?? Drive older vehicles, stay in the same house for 11 years and just live simply. It allows for extra money for hobbies, charities and vacations. Quote Link to comment
