What do/did you do for a living?
-
Rock.

Interesting stuff; in my head, all the forum members are independently wealthy.
Except for Seul, who is an agorophobic living in his parents' basement, playing video games, posting in forums and counting the days until he can blow his next welfare check on booze and denim.

I suppose after that, I should post a serious response.
I work as a petroleum landman; essentially, I'm a subcontractor for exploration & production companies, doing title research, lease negotiation, some due diligence document review and other boring stuff. The major downside is that I'm away from home and out in the boonies of Texas for a whole bunch of time. So far this year, I've spent 38 nights in a hotel for work trips.
10 years ago I probably would have laughed if someone had told me this would be my "career", but I'm pretty happy, considering I just stumbled into it.

thanks for sharing guys and gals!!
Sounds pretty cool to me, jimmy. how did you actually come to having your own label and store?
thats what i did my studies on. I did a diploma in Textile [weave/knit/dye/printing etc etc etc…..] and then a degree in Fashion Design.
I did quite a few jobs in the trade that allowed me to accumulate a lot of contacts and travel the world. I was getting too comfortable in my last job so i decided to quit which pressured myself to have to do something. it took well over 2 years of planning before my first garments sold to the public and another 2 before my first shop. having a store really ties you down but is what i realise what i love to
do. Been a shop assistance and asking randoms what they do for a living
this shop has grown enough for me to not be there so time for another…
@DENIM:
Welder/fine art fabricator last gig was the balloon rabbit for jeff koons
DS that amazing stuff! are you able to post pic of the process. i've seen the balloon dogs and they're really something.
like any good thread it needs pics so I'll start this is my shop. the stock looks a bit different now with a lot more suits and ties. It will be getting relocated and a face lift in a few month time.
Pictures were forbidden unfortunately!

Senior Quality Control Specialist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, radiology department. Been here 19 years.
I'm the one who makes sure that the x-rays and reports go to the right people so we don't get sued, we now
put all images on CD discs so I have to look at each one to make sure it opens and that all the requested
exams are there.
We burn over 100 CD's a day, no wonder I can't see to drive home! Damn HIPPA laws…

I am a Shift Supervisor for Child Care Workers at a non-profit shelter for teenagers. I make no money, bust my ass with long hours, get stressed out beyond belief, deal with violence & more almost everyday, etc. Yet I've been there for almost 6 years. The job has its good moments which can be absolutely awesome but sometimes few & far between.

I myself am a producer, should any one on this forum feel like visiting Northern California for an IH meet up please feel free to pm me. I may even be able to schedule you a tattoo appointment with a extremely talented tattooer if that is your bag, no promises on that one however, as his time is extremely spoken for.

Sounds great, El! Kudos to Jestre!
I work in a hospital for 450 inpatients, specialized on treating psychosomatic disorders, like depression, burn-out, OCD, phobia etc.

Right on Max, we have a clinic here that deals with those disorders and I have a few friends that work over
there, not an easy job…Good for you for being one of the strong ones.Jimmy, I used to work in video duplication back in the 80's. Made more money on the side, especially with the XXX
titles! -
During the day, I'm your well mannered and crisply dressed Clinical Research Associate managing Clinical Trials per FDA and EU Regulations.
At nights and weekends, I'm your super bad denim wearin' DJ chatting pon the mic playing the classic and newest tunes in the Dancehall and Reggae World with an occasional outburst of "REWIND SeeeLeeecTaaaH".
BooooM

I can relate arrow, my night and weekend job is managing a rock band…
Cris, we couldn't survive without people like you in central supply - you're really our lifeline.
