Contemplating the future

...are there any jobs that are doing at least marginally okay right now, where you don't have to repair, build, maintain or otherwise service anyone else's garbage?

I hear pyramid scheme owners, corporate looters, and internet porn hosts are all doing well.

Given how things are going I would imagine that the producers of assless chaps, hockey masks, and football pads should be doing brisk business soon.

There's no margin in hosting internet porn.

I've been thinking about the gray weapons market, but I'm thinking Lord of War and that one Rolling Stone article must have ruined it.

Seriously though, I just don't want to fix other people's crap. That's all. Using in the production of something, sure. But if it doesn't work to spec, that seriously needs to be someone else's problem.

I've been doing tech support since before I was legally allowed to work, and maintained tactical aircraft. I have always hated it. I would very much like "it's broke dick" to be mostly someone else's problem.

Where do you want to live when you get out?

I work for a major steel manufacturer that has mills in a bunch of places, and while there is a certain amount of getting dirty and bustin' knuckles, mostly it's not very hard work, and is one of the best-paying blue-collar jobs in the state. And they love to hire vets!

Shoot me an email, and I'll get the contact info, if you're interested.

As a vet, I believe you get some degree of hiring preference with the Fed.

North, to Alaska. North, the race is on.

Todd Hoffman always seems to be looking for a new mechanic/operating engineer.

Funny, I'm watching the first two episodes of the new season right now, and I can't help but think that todd fouled his own nest. It would be a cool balmy winter day in hades before is give todd hoffman any of my life.
