I'm a part time back up p*rn star:) No really I've had a couple "careers" I started the first 7 years after graduating as a metal fabricator until I had some liver transplants, then I did a career change and now I'm a office geek working as a detailer (draftsmen) for a company named Nucor Building Systems, detailing steel buildings. Welding still makes me money at home when I feel like taking on a fun project, and I've been picking up some jobs with my skidsteer as of late. Thats my money making story:cheers:
