Nothing! Retired people don't have to do anything if they don't want to!

Taught for 31 years at a middle school...my home away from home for so long.

Lessee if I can remember ....

I started as an altar boy, then went on to carpet istallation, then became a lawyer, worked in hair replacement, and then became a professional gambler. I moved to Adelaide to broker laborers in the opal mines, and now I'm in Sri Lanka, none the worse for wear and thinking of retiring!

sure... but I really dont know that you would enjoy working for me - I am apparently a little tough

that being said - if I was to go to USA to live/work - I would take one or two years leave without pay first - would not throw my job in that easily!

I am the public information coordinator for the division of students affairs and the division of advancement at Clemson University. Basically, I do media relations/public relations for those two divisions of the university. Write lots of press releases, talk to a lot of reporters, that kind of thing.

I am a prisoner at a local high school from September to June but from about March to October I am also a Bus Boy at a German Restaurant. It sure is a great way for a 16 year old to make a few bucks.

Currently keeping myself busy doing a couple of things. Not flying at Chalks as much as I used to, mostly running the airline operations from the Miami seaplane base...flying the Mallard on occasion getting my fix. Mainly a part to half time position, I work when I have the free time.

Also working in Operations Control for Caribbean Sun Airlines. Just found out yesterday I am soon to be put in the Director of Safety office. Mainly I'll be tasked with travelling the West Indies, Windward and Leeward Islands and BVI and USVI destinations conducting in-flight safety checks and ground safety inspections. More importantly doing audits on all the local hospitals, clinics, fire departments and bars to ensure they are properly manned and stocked to meet any contingency.

Also Naval Reservist in a logistics squadron flying the 737-700.

But none of those jobs compare with my favorite one, Daddy to my 2 kids.

Still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up though.
