My CPA/Tax question on here had me think of another question today…

What does everyone on the outdoors board do for a living? I've known CS78 for close to 20 years on another board and him and I pretty much know everyone on there cause it's such a small group. I know what some of you do but definitely a lot larger group.

I'll start it off, I'm a plumber by trade. Got into it right out of high school and after deciding if I wanted to do that or follow in my Dads footsteps of being a mechanic I stuck with plumbing. I now hold a Texas Masters license. I'm currently a project manager/estimator/sales for a Mechanical Contractor.

My Dad always told me to go to school and get a degree that means something or learn a trade. I went the tradesman route and it has definitely paid off and only continues to get better.

Why am I on an Aggie board? Well my Grandpa and Great Uncle were both Aggies, my Grandad was class of 56 and not sure about my Great Uncle. My Grandad passed when I was around 1 so I never got to know him. But damn in the few times he got to hold me he must've whispered in my ear about being an Aggie cause I'm as diehard a fan as I can imagine.

So what's everyone else do? How did you get there?

I work as a janitor in a college, even though I feel like I am smarter than most of the people that go there. Sometimes I see an equation on a chalk board and I just figure it out…

Username checks out.

Sometimes I enjoy being sarcastic a little too much… I also enjoy making references to Will Ferrell movies, like Step Brothers.



On a serious note, I work in BD and am fortunate to work at a really good company. The guys I work for are great and a few are Aggies. The one that posts on here is my favorite

Ultimately, I have been very blessed. I learned a lot of really good things from my dad and grandfather about keeping your word, working hard, building a network, and how to listen to people. I busted my butt working in college and have maintained that work ethic throughout my career. I love having fun, meeting folks, and talking hunting/fishing with folks.

I'd dive into more detail but probably should protect my anonymity as much as I can, even though many people on here know me behind the scenes.

I am a highly trained ambulance driver. Please spread the word, if your family member that has mobility issues falls while nude and they are nor injured, please place an item of clothing on said family member.

I climb ladders (among other things) around the farm.

I nearly fell off of one Monday, but landed on a shrub. No injuries. It did take a while to work my way out of the shrub, though.

Not bad for 69 years old, but the next time I need to climb an old ladder, I'll make sure that someone else is around.

69 years old?

Technically, I was referring to Step Brothers, which was referring to Good Will Hunting but you get my drift.

I'm the hardest working man in oil

i do as little as possible, I work in a toll booth, if you know me I'll give you a free toll fee …. This is what my buddy used to tell the women in Houston when we were younger…. They would give him their number so he could give them free toll fee's…. This is a true story. He was actually in medical sales ..

Your mom.

I manage 3 coal power plants and a solar field. Will be out of a job in 2028 when coal goes bye bye if any needs a good facility leader. I don't like what I do, but it's fantastic money and allows me to retire by 50. Those that know me personally say i am good at what I do, but i dont exactly look forward to work each day. The time off is great though, about 7 weeks a year. Typing this from Lamai Beach in Thailand, currently.

I also guide on the side, partial ownership of a small business in town, and a rental house owner.

Duh....

You're also a super spy who can't remember anything about his past

I'm a professional babysitter. I baby sit my boss and my boss's boss. I babysit my peers. I babysit the 90ish guys working for me. I sit down and tell people why they should show up to work and why they don't get promotions for not showing up to work. Recently I've switched from being the go to guy for my boss to where all I say now is "Whatever you think." They aint getting the best out of ol' hoose anymore. I gave my best for too long for nothing in return. Oh, and I play a lot of games on my phone while half paying attention to meetings. Basically over the last year or two, I've become a world class slacker.
