Humm, I'll bite......
I drive transport in the oil patch. Transport and frac with co2 and n2. I get it to your pump or horsepower and you take it from there. 15 days on, 6 off.

University Student. Used to be a pilot.... Not exactly a great area to be starting out in so I figured I'd go out and get a degree. Going to be an elementary teacher.

I compete against antlerboy and moosedown, from the other side of the river. Flattening pennies with a locomotive is still amusing after 24 yrs!

Are you telling us there is a secret nuclear power plant in Prosperous and it is operated by an inept employee?

Lots of variety of jobs / careers in this thread. Interesting to hear what keeps ya'll gainfully employed, preparing to be so, or busy being retired  .
I started out in the working world as a construction worker and eventually moved into my own business as a one man operation home renovator / contractor / finish carpenter / cabinet maker / floor-covering installer. After 19-20 years of all that I went back to school and earned some letters to put behind my name including a Masters of Divinity degree and for 8 years now I have been a pastor! Someday soon I hope to bring my dream of combining ministry with my love of the outdoors sports together in an outdoors ministry for Canadian sportsmen and women and our families.

I'm a Pig Tracker... oil and gas pipeline pigging, inspections, integrity, surveying. Travel all over Canada , US and occasionally Mexico. Can be alot of fun, using atv's, sleds, argo's, helos. Paid standby days in fun places like Chicago, Minneapolis, Houston, San Antonio, Las Vegas. Flip side is getting stuck in Sask. or places like Swan Hills for weeks on end, and way too much time away from home. I'm sitting in Albert Lea, MN right now itching to get home for a hunt.

Hey Lethal, welcome back. 
Myself, I do whatever I can as long as I am outdoors and enjoying it. This past summer I was a fishing guide, right now I'm a snow maker, and in a few weeks I'll be back in the snowcat, grooming the slopes at Marmot Basin.
