1. Truck Driver

2. Commodities Relocation Engineer with a Cee Bee Radio Law Degree

Have never been one for indoor/office work. Even though I currently deliver to the same 60 or so stores in OH/IN/KY, I still love going to work every night. Yes, I'd like to work fewer than the 55-60 hours I put in every week. But that's what it takes to make decent money in a truck nowadays. Driving gives me LOTS of time to think and I often wonder whether my wife and I would be better or worse off if we won a large lottery jackpot. I wonder if it wouldn't create as many problems as it would solve...

I'm a "seasoned" Property Manager. I'll probably stay in this field, but when I grow up, I want to go to law school and fight for Landlord's rights. Some tenants can make our job a living hell.

I'm just getting ready to jump back in the work place after two years of freedom!
-Call center management. Love it. Have done it for years. Stressful, active, lots going on, fun.
-Realtor. The field is so full of people right now, though it's shaking out. But I love houses and am always fascinated by homes. I think I'd enjoy it and be good at it.
-Gem dealer. When I was younger, I used to travel the West Coast and the Southwest with a bag of gems worth (then) a half million for a major importer. I'd stop by jewelers all along the coast, including along the Pacific Coast Highway and in Laguna Beach, Orange County, etc. and sell them the stones they wanted and run a booth at Tucson. That bag had hundreds of sapphires, rubies, spinels, and huge tanzanites which then were relatively new on the market in bulk and I had 20ct. stones! That was a wild job. I'd love to be the dealer himself, not the gopher this time!

AMEN, Paula!!! After our adventures in Boise, ID with the Section 8 "Neighbor from Hell" we'll never rent an apartment OR own rental proerty...EVER. That said, we sure had some good Property Managers along the way!

Law enforcement now (soon to be retired), would love to be a food critic and run my own charter fishing boat.
