    What do you do for work?

    I search the forum and didn't find anything. So I'll ask what do you do to pay the bills and fuel the jeep (s)?


    I commission, test and maintain medium- low voltage electrical equipment for in the oil and gas industry in Canada.

                    Author, though not of the paid variety yet.

                    In the meantime, I am a stay-at-home husband, taking care of all the stuff MS won't let my wife do. She's the Director of Quality as Oak Ridge Associated Universities (a government contractor).
