What do you guys do for a living? (Page 10)

Cop. Work 4 10 hour shifts, 4pm to 2am. 2 small kids, and a very understanding wife (so far) who doesn't give me much grief about stealing time to workout.

I had to become a cop for two reasons: first, my wife is a flight nurse on a helicopter and always had better stories to tell than I did at parties. Second, and most important, my wife and I became the parents of a beautiful baby girl 5 years ago, and one of us needed to be able to legaly carry a gun for when she starts dating.   (and don't let the smile fool ya: I'm not kidding)

Pediatric resident... until June.  Fortunately I'm in NYS where the 80 hour work week is (mostly) followed, but 70-80 hours a week is plenty for me.  I also have a very understanding husband and 2 kids, so fitting in workouts can be a trick.  After internship, and being in the "4:30 club" (meaning getting into the hospital at 5am), and so many months of sleepless nights, I can't bring myself to get up in the am.  Post call days sometimes work out OK, and I'll squeeze workouts in in the evenings.  I'm not a poster child for adequate training! 

I am a father and a husband.  Pretty cool I think.

Oh, I get paid to be a food scientist and microbiologist that has now branched into Sales for the worlds largest network of accredited food testing laboratories.  That is my snazzy sales line.  You can see us at www.silliker.com.
