Work

[icerube]

I am a boiler operater at a powerplant, IBEW. I work 12hr swing shifts, with ever other weekend off. I like the 12hr shifts, I walk through the work place doors 1/3 less than an 8hr shift worker. I have time to hunt and fish in the mid week and not have to fight the crowds, and still go out with family and friends every other weekend!! Life is Good!!!

Sr. electrical designer for a package machinery OEM for the past 20 years. Normally, I work M-F 8+ per day. I specialize in aftermarket alterations and this occasionally requires that I travel to customer facilities to assist with project installations. This recession has taken its toll on capital purchases and as a result customers are spending more on upgrading existing equipment. For the past few months my workload has been heavier than ever, working long days and extra weekends. I guess it beats the alternative.

Still find some time to get out on the water.

I am a constuction worker I just got promoted out of the hole to an machine operator which I relly dont care for I would rather be in da hole. I work Mon-Fri we only worked to Saturdays this year which was nice. What sucks is I am on the road away from my 3 kids and girlfriend all week. I get laid off Dec-Mar so lots of ice time for me.

I'm in the Service / Contractor / Construction software business. I travel a fair bit. I get out when I can. I'm like a fisherman in Residency - most of the time I'm just practicing - putting in long hours when I get the chance.

[BRULEDRIFTER]

I am a home inspector. I pretty much set my own schedule. With the troubled housing market, i have had alot more time to fish and hunt.

Hey Will,

Anyway I could pick your brain about the Home Inspection Biz? I'm seriously concidering a total career change and am interested in this field. I just have no clue how/where to even start.

My email is: thelefthand10@hotmail

Thanks!

[fishersofmen]

Landscape manager and school in the evening. Plenty of time to fish in the winter, no time in the summer.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Laid off plumbing apprentice. Work part time at Gander for the discount (and the money these days). Im was pretty smart with my money and am able to live somewhat normally right now and enjoy a little time off. Im debating on going back to finish my college degree, possibly biology but am undecided.

[ilovehardwater]

I'm a dental lab technician with a Monday-friday 8-5 job. I have to put up with the weekend crowds but always take a few days off during the winter so I can have a quiet time on the ice....BT

[MNice]

Plumbing/Heating/Gas inspector for TC suburb.

[TylerS]

Writer at a weekly newspaper. Pretty much a weekend warrior. Schedule can be flexible, but I'm at the whim of the local high school sports scene. Anytime I'm outside, though, it gives me plenty of fodder for my outdoors column!

[Glockwinger]

I work as a Federal Police Officer on the overnight shift. Gives me flexibility for the family on working days and with a couple days off during the week, I can get out on the lake when less people are there. Is also nice in the summer 'cause I can get on the golf courses easier than on the weekends.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Elem P.E. Teacher.. fish hard on weekends, and all summer long..

[Farley]

I am an automotive technical consultant, I also work on vehicles on the side, which takes a lot of my free fishing time. Although I fish in spurts, and spend most of my fishing in the summer on the MN River.
