What Is Your Line Of Work?

[wrstdude]

Sort of thinking of something like this for a second career.
I love coaching and working with kids. Have coached kids that age. Both fun and challenging.
Good on ya.

Challenging is definitely a great way to describe it. It's a different world than when I played. I coach at a perennial loser, so we're constantly dealing w/ attitude, lack of commitment, struggling to get people to come out. An uphill battle that wears on you.

We had a coach leave for another local school who won a state championship the previous year & I ran into him & got to ask him what was the same/different between the 2 schools. He said they fight the same battles; kids don't show up for weights, attitude etc. The only difference is the athletes. He said they don't even meet as a coaching staff, whereas we will be in the coach's office for hours after the game on Friday nights & hours after practice trying to find a competitive edge. His new school went 9-2 & we went 0-10. It was the second 0-10 of my career. It's not fun at all, but you keep trudging along. We're on our 4th head coach in 12 years which doesn't help either, but it ALWAYS comes down to the Jimmies & the Joes not the Xs & the Os.

It's so sad to see how parents can create such enormous challenges for a child, long before the child really even has an opportunity to experience the world for themselves.

Some kids, as we like to say, we're born on 3rd base & grow up w/ the attitude that they hit a triple. Some weren't even born in the same town as the stadium. They, truly, never had a chance.

As far as I am concerned, what you do has everything to do with what you enjoy.

I am honoured to share this space with you guys.

Me? I got it good. My field is operations and I kick ass.

I am "they". It's a tough job but it's rewarding.

Whenever someone says "they", like "They faked the lunar landings", that's me.

So, how did you do it? You know, fake the lunar landings? C'mon, tell us everything.

I have experience with that, and buying it as well. Along with tons of other media.

That is a job that requires skill and makes most sales look easy. Actually most sales are easy for the right person.

I own a restaurant and brewery which means that I am a dish washer, appliance repairman, janitor, cook, plumber, carpenter, pump specialist, mad scientist, and make about $2 per hour.

I know Not saying I don't love it though.

Awesome! Either a brewery or a growler tap room / homebrew shop, or brew pub is my dream. Only problem is the initial cost of the equipment for the brewery...well that and there's no guarantees anyone would want to even drink my beer. But I can dream.

As of now I stick to GIS/ crime analysis for a local police department. It's boring as hell, but it's a job. They think my job is way harder than it really is. And I homebrew on the weekends.

Wow! Now I know why I don't own a restaurant...not smart enough!

Sr. Network Engineer. Not a passion of mine, but the $ for it in this area makes it worthwhile. Some really cool occupations in this thread!
