What do/did you do for a living?

[Elembytes]

Very small fry here-------

I currently teach in a non-certified teaching position, Elementary Computer. I teach K-5th graders computer technology, keyboarding, word processing, etc., been doing that for 22 years now. Prior to that I drove a school bus for 7 years. I have also tried to run my own over the road trucking company and have worked, or should I say, dabbled in the retail industry but it wasn't my cup of what ever! (LOL)

My wife teaches high school math, and have been married for 25 years next June.

I was a Navy Photographic Intelligenceman and Intelligence Specialist until I was medically retired in 1982. I was then a DoD intelligence analyst until I retired in December 2011.

Now my "job" is the starter (flagman to you NASCAR weenies) for three professional open wheel auto race series...the F2000 Championship Series, the F1600 Formula F Championship Series, and the Formula Atlantic Championship Series, all sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing and stepping stones to Indy Car. We race in the east and midwest from April through October. From time to time I also still work as a starter in SCCA Club Racing, but nowhere near as much as I used to.

Back in the '90s and early 2000s I was the starter for the U.S. F2000 National Championship, which, over time, was sanctioned by USAC, SCCA Pro Racing, and Grand Am.

Another drug pusher

I sell drugs...........legally, which means I make a whole lot less money than those other drug dealers.

I used to push drugs on the University of Missouri campus--legally. Now I help regulate how others do it.

Manage a full service Dental Laboratory w/ ten employee's that know it all and can do it much better than me. Which is okay and it has
allowed Judy and I to take on some new and exciting things with the Spyder. :clap:Started in High School in 1974 and have enjoyed it for
all these years but looking forward to slowing down and taking it easier from here on out.

After that, I was electronics / robotics / CAD / laser technician. All the time my hobby was computers, and I wanted to get into software. Now I'm in Desktop Engineering, coding, scripting, etc... and what is my hobby???.... electronics...:banghead:
