Super User Redlinerobert Posted October 22, 2015 Super User Posted October 22, 2015 Real estate Broker and investor. Great field and not your ordinary 9 to 5 which I've never done. Sometimes I'm so busy I can't see sideways, other times not so much. Recently acquired an old defunct historic restaurant property that my wife and I are bringing back to life. We'll be opening up sometime soon. It's located directly adjacent to one of the California Missions. In fact, you'll be able to see the Mission from our bar. Excited about it! Quote

I have a friend who is a broker in Arizona and he's golfing all the time. He has told me there are very busy times, but it still affords you the opportunity to do your work without being under someone's eye. Definitely seems like a good opportunity with some freedom. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted October 22, 2015 Super User Posted October 22, 2015 Most definitely. Consider though, it takes several years to build up the database of clients to get to this point. Once you do though, it's a fairly busy business regardless of time of year. Quote
Starchalopakis Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Look into a field like Forestry, I am currently finishing up my AS in Forestry, and then will work towards my BS in Environmental Resource Management. There are many jobs and different areas of concentration you can get into that all involve the outdoors. The BLM, US Fish and Wildlife Service, National Parks Service are just a couple of the big boys who are looking for grads in those related fields. One of my professors expressed to us that a huge number of retirees are on their way or will be soon, so there will be a big need to fill these types of jobs. Quote
Bladesmith, Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I worked my way through college by driving a local delivery service truck. I have a Master's from the U. of Houston in Behavioral Science, minor in Criminology. Worked in the field for 6 years then went back to driving a truck. I am simply not a sit behind a desk person. Retired from driving a truck 6 years ago at 62. Now, I'm wondering what I really want to be when I grow up....... Quote
Super User Spankey Posted October 22, 2015 Super User Posted October 22, 2015 I work in Heavy Industrial Equipment Repair electo/mechanical repair work.. Been doing it a long time. Don't quite see the light at the end of the tunnel yet to retire. But when that day comes I'll be chasing smallies around at least every other day. Quote

Super User flyfisher Posted October 23, 2015 Super User Posted October 23, 2015 https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/teacher I taught for 15 years, PM me if you have any questions. If you're serious about getting a job, how you position yourself is everything. What is your degree in? You may be able to pass the teacher exam with a bachelors in your field and get moving right away. In Virginia, for elementary that doesn't cut it as you have to complete and approved teacher education program. secondary you can get by if you graduated with a degree in one of the subject areas and have 5 years experience in the field. I know each state varies though. the key for teaching is to get those first 5 years in and then yo can pretty much transfer licensure to pretty much any state. Quote

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted October 23, 2015 Super User Posted October 23, 2015 Journeyman wireman. Thinking of going back to iron working. Pays better and is more fun. Most any of the building trades would be a decent fit if you don't want to sit behind a desk all day. Quote
hawgenvy Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Be a surgeon! 27 years of school, $500,000 debt, 60 hour work week, fish 3 hours every other Saturday (half of that time on the phone), and be really, really good at getting the hook out of a bass (or a finger). 1 Quote
EvanT123 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I've had many jobs. Most recently spent 5 years as an employment counselor. As of 3 weeks ago, I began a job as an auditor. Complete 180, it has taken some getting used to but I think I might be there awhile. If you can do what you love that's great but don't discount a steady paycheck. There are 16 other hours in a day.

Super User Bankbeater Posted October 23, 2015 Super User Posted October 23, 2015 I have a four year degree in Finance and Marketing. For the past 29 years I have worked as a project manager for an aerospace company. Basically I put design drawings together for internal construction jobs, and oversee the construction crew. 1 Quote
