What does everyone do for a living?

[bdcues]

I make custom pool cues. Recently started cue with ivory handle that will be scrimshawed with a 6-panel comic strip that S. Clay Wilson did for me.

[Visitor Q]

I sell comic books. Some months I even make a living from it!

I often wondered if that was your only job?

Yes, it is. I was taking care of my mom for the past couple of years but she passed away in May. So now it's just cues and mowing the field.

I know that this is an old thread,  but I came in late... so.... I'm an equipment tech currently working for ST Microelectronics for about 1 1/2 years. Did almost 10 years at Intel (they suck, buy AMD), and before that 4 1/2 years at Texas Instruments - about 17 years of semiconductors total...... I don't love it, but it pays the bills.....

So I'm curious, what do you guys all do for a living?

Just caught this thread but I've been offline more than on the past few months.  Anyway, I'm semi-retired now but since 1991 I've been a Japanese document translator, 12 yrs. as a freelancer working at home & 5 yrs. as an in-house translator working for a Japanese co. in the San Francisco Bay area.  People send me docs. in Japanese, I translate them & send them back.  Before that I was a teacher, mostly college.  Taught Japanese & before that English as a 2nd language (ESL).  Lived in Japan doing that for 8 yrs.

A really wish I knew Japanese but I hear it is a hard language to learn.

I lived in Japan for about 4 months - transfered from the USS Towers to the USS Knox and rotated back to Long Beach.... I picked up a couple of things, but I remember it being pretty hard. Awesome country though! Lots of things to do and see....
