I'm an attorney specializing in the areas of Real Estate, Estate Planning and Business. Have my own practice and cover all of Western MA and even into CT now. But I like to get dirty, get that dirt up in those fingernails, up in your nose, in your ears...yeah that is what I really like.....just can't make a living at it. Alwqays wanted to be an archeaologist, but life didn't take me that way. I love the history of what we find.
 
Haven't seen too many attorneys in this hobby for whatever reason. :) Lots of engineers though!

I don't know if I replied to this thread but if I did it was before switching jobs. I'm medical director for a pharmaceutical education, marketing and strategies company.

I'm officially retired (26 years teaching broadcasting at Parkland College in Champaign, IL), but I still do a lot of substitute teaching at the college.

I also have a small but steady income from selling the books I've written.

Like many writers, I've had a long and varied career (before I began teaching): radio disc jockey, real estate broker, magazine writer, newspaper writer and photographer, wedding photographer, Air Force medic, theater projectionist, block-ticket sales for the Atlanta Braves. And a paper route as a kid, then working in the newspaper office on vacations from college.

Jason. It's easy to grow them U shaped. The hard part is running them through the saw mill and maintaining the U shape the builders seem to like these days. :grin:
