What do you do for a living?

[UndiscoveredTerritory]

I used to be a software engineer, now I'm into sales and coaching. What about you?

I started out as a carpenter in the theater world, sometimes a Stage Manager.    Then it was Conventions work, the film industry ( never again ) , Construction and home repairs for a long time.    Over the course of those jobs I built my own house where I am semi-retired.

Film industry - never again? - Why?

I averaged 90 hours a week for 3 months.   It's like selling your soul to the devil.   I needed the money as I had just bought my first house, but never again.   My personal "Most worked in a week" - was with the Convention industry during the load in of the year's biggest show.   I had 113.5  hours on the clock.
