    I make sure people don't crash into each other while they are flying, and help adolescent girls with body and self-esteem issues.

    Re: What do you do for a liveing?

    well i guess i could start with my first job when i was 14 i worked at a bakery had the same job until 1994 then a went to my next job which was also a bakery that's where a got my bakers science degree. then in 1996 i went to another job and started my paintball business and i did both until 9-11 then the paintball business was sold and in 2004 i quit my job and stayed home for two years. until the wife wanted a new house then i got a new job as a production worker that only lasted three days then they promoted me to a production manager and that's what I'm doing now. when i started we had 50 people on the line now i have 20 people and still getting the same work done.

    Ok now that is the coolest job I have ever heard.

    How did you get into that. I have always wonder how you get to be a conductor of a train

    well if you ever have questions about the work or the industry or career paths, I'd be happy to talk shop with you.
    ME is a big field with tons of possibilities. I have had the good fortune to have worked in a lot of different jobs.
