Parts guy at O’Reillys

Autoclave maintenance at different gold mine
Blasting and explosives delivery currently until the o/o thing is up and running

 

Golf course maintenance.

Best job I ever had. If it wasn't seasonal, and the pay was liveable, I'd still be doing it. Looking back on it now, I should have gone to college to be a golf course superintendent instead of truck driving school.

 

Wait. You told me you were a “janitorial engineer” at one of those Adult Superstores.

 

Valet in my teens to early 20s

Cooked until I was 28 at some nice places and owned a food truck. Got burnt out.

Started driving at 28, I’m 30 now. Always driven tankers. It’s ok, it pays the bills. I don’t know if I’ll do it forever. I get kind of bored. If someone offered me 65k with benefits to run a restaurant I’d do it.

I want to get into running cranes or loaders or something and hauling them. I feel like I would like that more. Working on a project vs. driving from point a to point b.

Can’t complain though I’m making good money and have a good job and my boss lets me work whenever I want as long as I get my stuff done.
