Veteran 183 Manor, Texas | Subject: RE: What do you guys do for a living? I'm a Correctional Officer (Prision Guard) in the state of Texas. I work at an all male facility, and as a female, well, ya know the risk. But I'm safe and have great rank and officers that work with me. I work 12 hour days, 5pm to 5am, so I train after work. I usually hit the gym and work out the anger and stress. However, I do have a Law Enforcement Degree and want to get into that. This prision thing is just a stepping stone and some experience for me. Never forget those who's job it is to keep you and your families safe. And Don't Mess With Texas!! |

Master 1362 Charlotte, NC | Subject: RE: What do you guys do for a living? Great thread... thanks for bumping it back up for us newbies. I'm an industrial engineer turned banker. I used to make circuit boards, then built big GREEN tractors (a fun job) but had a passion for financial services (dating back to a college internship of 4 years). So now I'm currently in a risk rotation at BofA and plan to get back into a product and marketing role in January (much more fun). My other job is a husband to Wendy (crazytrain) and daddy to soon to be 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter (see albums - they are my buddies). Tri training has actually given us another family adventure to do together with our DoodleBug to run/bike with the kids. I have to work out before work (get to the gym between 6-7) and get into the office around 8:30-9:00. It helps to beat the hectic rush hour traffic and I can have quality time with the family in the evenings. Edit - oh.. and I spend way too much time on conference calls which provides ample time to be a BT addict. Edited by sunburnin 2006-09-25 10:12 AM |

Expert 1274 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: What do you guys do for a living? Man that was an interesting but LONG read! I am a meeting and event planner. I work for a small independent firm doing contract work mainly for medical societies. We plan large meeting where you Dr. types can come and get your continuing medical education (CME). Means I get to travel a little, probably 3 weeks a year. I work 730-430 and my wife is a triathlete so the training is not hard to make time for. I am also on staff part time with First Methodist Church as the youth worship pastor. Means I get to play guitar with kids and have a good time. Good stuff. |

Extreme Veteran 394 Columbia, MO | Subject: RE: What do you guys do for a living? I am the business mail manager for a physician recruiting firm. I saw that there are alot of doctors on here. If you are looking to change positions let me know. Just kidding (kindof) I used to be a music teacher at a small rural school. It didnt pay well and it was a 70 mile a day commute, so I decided to find a new job. I used to work 60-70 hours a week and have to think about my job constantly. Now I work 40 hours (not a minute more), I dont have to think about it outside of work, and I get paid more. Cant beat it. I do miss teaching so I plan on starting my Masters Degree sometime in the near future, so that when I go back, I can be more selective in where I teach. Right now I train at 6AM before my wife and baby have to go to work. I also train during lunch and sometimes at night after the baby goes to sleep. I havent gotten really hard into training yet cause I just started (currently on Couch to 5k and ride my mountain bike a few times a week) But as soon as december roles around, I struggling to find enough time to train, I would imagine. We will have to see. Josh |

Veteran 199 McKinney, TX | Subject: RE: What do you guys do for a living? Well I'm glad you posted this. I kept thinking maybe I am the only one who is NOT at the level to win wonderful cash prizes and endorsements. So I work as an engineer (I hate it - very boring, but uhhh paying the bills for now). Plus I am a single parent, so yeah I was happy to finish two full races this year. I train alone which sucks, but I can gripe to the wind if I must hear myself talk I keep wondering if I am doing the right thing - everything inside screams yes, but everything on the outside is a major obstacle to jump over.

Extreme Veteran 338 | Subject: RE: What do you guys do for a living? Full time student this year, after taking last year off to work in Residence. Last year, finding time to train was tough as I worked a lot of weird hours, but this year, finding time before, after and between classes has been a dream! I highly recommend it. And might I just add, what a community of professionals we have here! I had no idea! Thanks for starting the post heymickey - sure is interesting! Megz |

| Member 34 | Subject: RE: What do you guys do for a living? I'm a bugler in the Army. I travel around the greater Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan areas and play taps for funerals. I train whenever I have the time. One day it may be at lunch one day it may be at night. I get paid well, but funerals drain the life outta ya (no pun intended) and I think I will be changing jobs next year. -Jarrett |

| Master 1567 Kauai, Hawaii | Subject: RE: What do you guys do for a living? I am a Mom! Retired from being an ICU RN for the time being. One of the reasons I chose nursing as a profession was to be able to train for triathlons. I did one my first year as an RN. I just completed my second triathlon nine years later. It is amazing how your goals can get sidetracked. While I was training for this last race my husband asked me if I was going to keep doing "These". I said of course! I am back baby!!!!!!! Never felt better. |
