The real world can be rough place to eek out a living, especially here in the mid west. I realize that many people need to work 2 jobs or even more to make ends meet, these days. ( My heart goes out to those of you, who have to do this. ) I am fortunate to have stumbled into a good paying job, as I have no real work skills, other than being able to communicate well with others. These skills were largely learned on the job. I have worked as a Psychiatric Nurse's Aide, for nearly 26 yrs.. What is/are your professions? How long have you worked in this/these careers? Care to share?

Actually I'm a Firefighter, First Responder & Storm Spotter (basically I'm 1 of the 7 in our Emergency Response Team) and I also run a home based daycare. Our ERT doesn't pay well in monumental ways but I enjoy what I do, and in the long run I've made a difference so that is pay enough in that part. And my daycare gives me the "bonus" cash to buy equipment for our NIGHT-PRO team investigations. Also when I'm not doing carecare I'll work construction or roofing just because I like the work, and the pay is definately good. (My Dad raised me as a tomboy, and I guess I never really out grew it lol.)

I am a welder which I have been doing profesionaly for about 20 years. It pays the bills but in no way are we getting rich. I am curently welding horse and livestock trailers which I have been doing for about a year. I built Sprayers and detassallers for the previous 11 years and worked for a small company in California before that.
