What does everyone do?

Just like it says, what do you do for a living. I am sure we know about some of you but others we may not. I work for ADM at a sun flower processing plant. I work maintenance so I get all of the fun jobs. Matthew

Re: What does everyone do?

Six weeks ago I quit my dead-end job to freelance write full time. I will never look back!

A while back I tried to run my own Mobile Welding company, but I don't think I put enough effort into it, and it seemed that every single request that I got was for aluminum or something completely insane, neither of which I am willing to do.
