[gogger]

Corrections Officer for the last 19 years. The first 18 years it was a womens prison. I worked third shift for 15 years straight. Then a year ago, they decided it would be a good idea to switch us to a mens prison. And so at the same time I switched to first shift. I had been waiting for a first shift job with weekends off for years. Finally got it.

Quite a change for me, went from dealing with women and hardly seeing them, to having to deal with male inmates and in close contact with them all day long. And they aren't all nice guys. But I have enjoyed the change.

I also own and operate a horse boarding business, my daughter has taken over much of the day to day operation since I have went to first shift. She is 19 now, and loves the horses. She shows cutting horses and competes on a national level. The last 7 years I have hauled her all over the country for competitions. We currently have about 30 horses in the barn.

I also bale hay all summer long to help keep expenses down.

And I am a horse show videographer. The association requires all approved competitions to be video taped. So I get paid to video shows that my daughter competes in.

And while I have enjoyed going to the shows with my daughter I realized last year that I could still have fun, and that was when I decided to buy a boat and start having fun myself.

I don't put my title on my business cards odd as that may seem!
Just my company's name and my name underneath.
Over the years I have found that titles simply get in the way!
Its the person you are and how you conduct yourself in business that makes you a success or not.

[Salty87]

this is a great thread. who could imagine so many possible ways to make a living.

i haven't been on the boards much lately. bought into a franchise in 2010, Jet turned me onto it...TheHomeMag. direct mail advertising for home improvement businesses. i'm one of the people jamming your mailboxes with unsolicited magazines, lol. only in Austin & San Antonio though.

if any of you guys are in home improvement and in a city served by TheHomeMag you should give it some consideration for finding new business. my previous jobs were corporate (hell). this one is very rewarding because it really does help small businesses find customers.

we're in Atlanta, Nashville, Raleigh, Dallas/Ft Worth, Chicago, KC, Houston...some 20 other cities.

Service Tech's are not very common. The complany I work for has about 55 statewide. The Wireless Industry however, is a BOOMING maket! I would not be afraid to invest. I want to research some of the new LCD screen manufactures and invest in them hoping the industy will use the new technology and make some coin!
