I'm waiting till i finish a little project then i'll post a reply with some pics

alright

I startes off in The US yacht club (3 years), then moved on to building houses(15 years) and just got hired as a superintendent for a pretty big home builder, I don't think school is necessary for the jobs I have had, but I would rather go to school than have those jobs again.

Right now I'm a student at Boise State University. I don't know what to tell you about a career, because I don't even now what I want to do. But I can say college is a blast! You meet a bunch of interesting people and have the opportunity to be exposed to all kinds of different ideas and way's of thinking. Even if you don't like high school don't write college off right away. Give it a chance.

im a mason and you have to go through6 years of schooling and 4 years on the job before you are a mason jk youve just gotta be patient and learn

I am currently working at a bank as the customer service manager. It is a great job and requires any bachelor's degree but the bank prefers a business degree background. The nice thing is I get between 3-4 weeks off during the year and as long as I take the wife on vacation for at least one of those I can use the rest for hunting season. Just make sure that you choose a job because you love it and then do your best and it will all work out.

I got drafted into the Army shortly after high school, put in 2 yrs active duty.
Maybe should have stayed, had an opportunity to go to West Point. In 1970 the US Army was not the place to be.

Anyway went to work for a building contractor [homes] worked my way up to project supervisor, then started my own business in 1980. Things went well as a building contractor and I retired at the age of 50.

Now I keep very busy with a cattle ranch and hobby sawmill.

For a hard working young guy, there are opportunities in construction without a college degree.

There is nothing like being self employed as far as taking time to hunt, and do things you enjoy.

I've been in the law enforcement business for over 20 years after a brief "career" in minor league baseball.

I began my law enforcement career as a fish & game warden. However, after I realized I wasn't going to be able to take vacation during hunting season (busiest time of year for a warden), I lateralled to a major law enforcement agency in southern California (over 4000 sworn). I've been there for 19 years. I am currently a Lieutenant in charge of a full-time 32 man SWAT Team located in the center of our county. I've been a member of our SWAT unit since 1991 and have held all ranks on the team up to my current rank.

My career in CA law enforcement is superb. The retirement system is second to none....either private sector or professional. I can retire at age 50 and earn 3% for each year of service (90% max). Example: I began at 20 years old (academy). When I turn 50 I will have 30 years on. That's 90% of my earnings (3x30). Add my 9% buy back (afforded to management) and I will retire at 99% of my highest years earnings!

Of course it doesn't come without sacrifice. Look where I have to live (so Cal) and the type of people I deal with continuously. But when I'm 50....look out Wyoming!

im liking all these careers of your and keep gettin more ideas. but i would still like to here more

Killerbee did you get that project finished?
