How do YOU make money?

[kmead]

Just doing Piper Malibu maintenance on my own. I thought I was retiring when I sold my shop but found out how much this old house and my hobbies cost me.

 

[flyingron]

I'm retarded...er um... retired. I was a software company executive. I do a little consulting these days and serve as an arbitrator in financial matters.

 

[Scotty78]

I am a Project Manager as well, though I'm in Construction. MicroStation, Primavera, and Outlook are my life lol.

 

[dans2992]

Director of IT for a manufacturing company.

 

[Old Fart]

Program/Project Manager at LAX. Came onboard to manage the post 9-11 deployment, haven't found my way out yet.

 

[SkyDog58]

Here is how I earn my huge stacks of cash and the admiration of women everywhere:

Fix things that pilots break.
Fix things that stews break.
Fix things that passengers break.
Fix things that rampies break.
Fix things that just break.

Sometimes I break things myself....
.... and sometimes I even fix those.

 

[Old Fart]

Fix things that rampies break.

Now that in itself can be a full time job

 

[gkainz]

I guess I'm a database engineer... I used to say that's what I did while trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I grow up. Looked in the mirror the other day and saw my dad looking back at me ... crap! Guess I'm old now.

Started off building power line in a family business, went to college for EE and decided I hated the 2nd E part of that. Joined the Navy and spent 10 years as an Avionics Tech/Aircrew/Intercept controller. Got out and started contract work on the software that I flew, GI bill payed for a BSCS and MSSE. Did Oracle consulting for a whole bunch of years and now I are an indentured servant again but still doing Oracle.

 

[paflyer]

Just curious.

The old fashioned way....I eaaaarn it.

You'll be rewarded by being replaced by a H1B.

 

[Sac Arrow]

Don't you do food photography also Sac?

Yes, but it isn't a paying gig. It seems that for most people, buns are the money shots.

Let's see what do I do for living. It's pretty obscure. Actually it's not that obscure, I'm just obscure about it. Let's just say everyone seems to be some sort of computer/software/database engineer. I'm not that. And I don't get in to the technical end of it much these days, mostly the management end of things.

That it can be.

[RJM62]

Semi-retired Web developer, investing, occasional onsite tech consulting (rare these days), occasional ghost writing, a bit of photography, and horse wagering.

I was going to joke with you, "Yeah but will it actually work?" But then I saw the screenshot that said "SAP" and just started laughing my butt off.

Answer "kinda" and it'll cost you millions. For no good reason.

While your at it check out House of Cards on Netflix. GREAT show.

Yup. I need a big ring I can knock on tables when I channel my inner Frank. Ha.

I'll be the judge of that.

I inspect mechanics work, inspect systems and structures, perform engine borescopes, NDT, audit facility and paperwork.... when I'm not surfing the Net or watching TV.
