Default How do you make a Dollar?

Just curious as to what everyone does for a living. We all have to get paid decent dough or have some kind of trust fund to pay for these toys. So, WHAT DO YOU DO?

I'm involved in financial, estate, business, tax, investment and employee benefit planning.

Not looking for ads or anything, just curious since there seems to be such a diverse range of ages, etc. I'm assuming there's quite a range of careers too. Look forward to reading the posts.

Just this past February I decided enough was enough and left work. I had almost 29 years with the same company and had been working since September of '69. I saved through the years and figured the time was right (cross fingers). So far I am enjoying it and will eventually get another job that is nearer and something I enjoy more.

I thought that the question was on the order of "How does one make a dollar?" That's easy: start with a $2 investment in a tech stock and wait a week.



As for how I make a living:

During the day: Cost estimator and risk analyst for a defence contractor

During the evening: Mathematics teacher at a local university

In my copious free time: Magician

(Haven't we seen this question about 47 times in the last year? )

Yeah, do a search. Its like 60% IT guys and the rest professionals and business owners of various types.

The trust funders and drug dealers never come forward!
