So you only get to fish durring the day then? Oh, and the bait store called and wants you to stop paying for shinners with a stack of ones...

[slammer]

Self employed tile and flooring installer for almost 20 years. Never seems to be a lack of jobs so I fish mostly weekends when it allows. Fortunate to have work when many dont.

What a great topic...last year i was laid off and honestly fished a ton! Now I'm back to work and can't find time to get out as much. I am a sales consultant for a uniform company and it should come with some freedom, but for those of you in sales...you know there's really no freedom at all!

Cell site tech, been in the industry for about 15 yrs. I get out once or twice a week and on weekends.

Had my one year anniversary from being laid off Jan. 2 as a home delivery district supervisor. Job prospects are not good with terrible pay. Some have enough job responsibilities suited for two people. They want you to do more with less pay.

Drafter and Estimator for a construction company that mostly does framing and finish work. But I also am currently laid off.

Cool and interesting thread! I feel for all you guys that don't have any work right now.

Good or bad, I have had more than I want for quite a few years now. I'm a mechanical engineer/project manager for a custom stainless steel fabricator. We do mainly food processing work but I also do a lot for a few other inductries and an ammo plant, although not the one huntingislife is at. May have to check into that I work mainly 7-5, M-F but a lot of our installations are done on weekends so I'm tied up then also. That, combined with 2 teens in a lot of activities, really limits our fishing time. But I thoroughly enjoy, and am thankful for, every minute of it.

I never knew this thread would be so buisy...lots of diferent jobs, hope all those that are laid off find some income. Ive been off so long feel like i wouldnt know what i was doing if i went back. SUCKS

Myself and another brother are going to go sign some books Monday, being the weather has gotten nicer. Probably a waste of time but you never know.

Software Tech Support Analyst. When you deal with 1 problem after another after another all day every day, After 14 years you get to be a pretty good problem solver!

I am a telecom tech for a phone company. Been through lots of layoff's but made it through for 10yrs. I get out 2 times a week or more, but it helps to have a wife that is in school and work 6 days a week from January to March.

[lots of luck]

Degree in Landscape Architecture, worked with Civil Engineers and Land Surveyors on municipal and private jobs. Examples of our included, Walmart(Austin, Bloomington, Apple Valley), Construction Staking for HWY 212, Eden Prairie Community Center Expansion, lots of Parks, Athletic facilities and Trails for Chanhassen, Lakeville, Eden Prairie, Etc.

Did this from May of 01' to Jan of 09', got layed off, but saw business dropping the whole 8 year run, alot of this hinged on Sept. 11th I would imagine!

Miss my job and some of my co-workers, but am fortunate to work in a shipping/receiving position since Dec. 09' with good pay, great benefits and seemingly really good people.

Designer jobs are dead right now, I believe architects were one of the hardest hit professions nationally in 09'.

Good luck all!
