I work for the Georgia Forestry Commission. I am a District Forester and am responsible the forest management and fire activites/suppression for a 23 county area. Good Lord willing I have about 11 years left to retirement, but will probably have to work around 15 more years due to kids in college about retirement time.

Cool reading about the variety of jobs people have to support their Bronco's.....I am in my 22nd year in the Marine Corps; planning to retire after three more years. Deploying soon to Afghanistan in order to train Afghan police and Army....fortunately, I should have access to CB.com while I am gone.

I'm in sales, selling products for telecom infrastructure. Been doing this for 5 years. Before that sold cabinets in the telecom world for 15 years. Best part I get to work from home so I can occasionally slip out to the garage and turn wrenches a little early!

Landscape Architect - going on 15 years. No, I don't install landscaping. I draw plans for new site work. I've been interested in the design/architecture/engineering profession since I was a sophomore in high school 20 years ago. I also substitute teach for a local school district, manage a few rental properties in town, and sell a ton of Bronco parts out of my garage. Mr. Jack of all trades in many ways.

I retired from farming after 30 years and went into insurance for 10 years and I guess I have been semi-retired for the last 3 while remodeling my house,my sons house, building my shop and restoring my bronco. I am looking for another career now where I can live here and work on my schedule. I don't mind working a lot of hours, but just do not want to punch a clock. I guess it is from being self employed all my life.
