Sydmoe Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I am just curious what everyone does for a living to help finance their building desires. I guess I will start. I am Regional Sales Manager for a Fixturing and Automation company. The territory I have takes me all over Michigan and Ohio as well as all of Canada since since I call Toronto home.

Cozy1200 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Unemployed and it's not financing the Cozy too well at the moment. 5 months ago, I was responsible for all technical and training aspects for the worlds largest manufacture of submersible pumps and motors throughout Australia and New Zealand. Anyone need a motor expert? Actually I just interviewed this past week. Next round of interviews is the week after next. Somebody hold your breath, I need some cozy money.

GuinnessGuy74 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I work for a NASCAR team. Richard Petty Motorsports. Dodge going bankrupt hurt us pretty bad. After the team went through layoff's and paycuts, I had to put my project on hold. Took a cut in pay but thankfully I didn't lose my job. Now back at it and starting up chapter 7. Good Luck Drew!

CBarber Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I have been an attorney since the mid ninties. Estate Planning, Elder Law, Probate and some Asset Protection stuff. However, five years ago I persued my other career ambition and became a police officer (my undergrad degree is in Criminal Justice). I am currently a police Cpl and really enjoy it. Still practice, but can be much more selective to the clients I hire. I am basking in the benefits of choice and am choosing not to currently practice much law:cool2: . I expect to do more again down the road though. Was able to buy my Velocity kit when I unexpectanly had two clients pay me for some work....so, before I spent it on something stupid, like bills, I wrote a check to Velocity Inc.

wildbird Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Believe it or not I sell bird seed and rehabilitate injured squirrels. Thats why it is taking me so long to finish my plane. But I don't hate going to work every day. Wildbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraig Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 .... and rehabilitate injured squirrels. Wildbird Now there is a job I could get into! I would love a job like that, except I probably would have seperation anxiety when it was time to let them go. I have been a carpenter for 23 years, and been self employed for the past 15 of them, and I too never hate going to work. I guess that is the important thing.

TiggerMoth Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 ... so it makes perfect sense that you're building a plane that is back-the-front... to match your career! ;-) Seriously, it's nice to read about canard-folk inspired, it would seem, by Frank Sinatra to all "...[do] it my way." When I grow up and get my PPL, and then my Long EZ, I plan to finance flying from the misery of others. That is to say, I'm a psychologist. I have been an attorney since the mid ninties.

Kevin Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Fire Fighter/Paramedic, retired Marine, licensed General Contractor, Certified NRA Instructor. Currently not building, not surprising with all my jobs, but I hope to order the Cozy plans soon while I am laid up from shoulder surgery. I hope to study the plans during rehab and get started soon after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
