So, what's your day job?

[fearofpavement]

On this forum, everyone is talking saws, mix oil and so forth. But what do ya'll do when you're not messing with saws? I realize that some of you do saw stuff all day every day but to many of us saws are a hobby or moonlighting and we have our "other life". So what do you do for your paycheck?

I'm a County Ranger for the NC Forest Service. That consists of mostly helping private landowners with forest management recommendations and wildland firefighting. I do use chainsaws every so often on fires as well as doing timber stand improvement work but more so as a weekend warrior and firewood cutter. Almost got my federal certification as a class c faller for wildfires.

i was doing building maintenance for a number of years but have since decided to change my way of being. from age 10 i've been fixing things for people and made real good money at it so i have just jumped back into that. making way more money then i was at a day job and i'm my own boss. only thing is i'm more cheap because i know work booms hard or slows down to nothing being self employed. it sucks but if ya know how to work around it it's awesome. i hate working for a boss who is some kind of brain dead idiot who can't even change a damn light bulb so it suits me well. gonna be going back to my falling tree's thing for a living in april or may i figure. just finished a contract engineering a few cut blocks as an apprentice with a veteran engineer and man was that a blast. man those engineers got it easy. still like falling more though.

That's his moonlight job. It's easy to do when you're three hours behind everyone.
