I screw around with Excel all day and answer for my bosses screw ups. Don't work in an office setting if it's at all avoidable.
I sit behind a computer all day long and create something from nothing. I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm a software engineer, and damn proud of it! ;)
Seriously, I love what I do, and I can do it anywhere. It took me a while to figure it out, but I'm so much happier writing code than not writing code.
I am a retail pharmacist and love it. You stand a lot and work long days but you get a lot of time off. There are some knuckleheads to deal with but just don't take it personal and it gives you funny stories to tell. You also learn a lot of valuable information and get to help people face to face. If you like the idea but not as much of a people person you can always do the hospital side or if you really want to be hands on with a residency or some experience in small hospitals you could be a clinical specialist possibly even in the ER for critical care. Like any job it had its days but overall I think it's enjoyable and rewarding. I'm of the opinion that you have a lot of control over how much you like or dislike your job.

I work in the oilfield as an MWD. I typically have 1 week off per month, sometimes up to 6 weeks off at a time. The pay is great when I'm working, and enough to live on when I'm not. The job is extraordinarily stressful and challenging at times, but most of my time is spent relaxing, surfing the internet, and getting paid for it.
I had a good office job working with good people and was being groomed for management in that office. I couldn't stand being stuck in an office and would go to the field any chance I got.

I work at a dog daycare and I truly enjoy getting up and going in to work. We take in anywhere between 75 and 90 dogs every day. I'll take working with the dogs over humans any day, much less drama.

Wow! I would love going to work at that job!
I work in Insurance, it's an office setting, so I would highly reccommend against it if you aren't thrilled by that, otherwise, it's pretty cool.
My dream job however, would be probably what my buddy Eric does- He is a co-owner of BluCore Shooting Center and he teaches firearms classes. Work with guns, and teach others your craft? YES! He's also a medically retired member of SEAL Team 6.

Outta retirement, driving a propane truck. It's outside, pays well, don't have to deal with too many people and no one is looking over my shoulder. One of the best companies I've ever worked for.
Plus, there aren't too many things as exciting as sliding backwards and outta control down a steep, icy driveway in a truck loaded with 2200 gallons of propane. Just one of the fringe benefits.

you guys have a couple bikes I have interest in... the Sprint ST and the R1100R, but both have some miles on them. From a service manager point of view, is it worth taking a look at either and/or is there anything to worry about with the 85k miles on the R and 55k on the ST?
I'm looking for a back up bike that'll be used for for the longer rides that my bobber doesn't like (or when riding with people that don't want to stop every 50 miles for gas).

IT Helpdesk side of things. (desktop, laptop, server, backup, network, microsoft, apple)
Large State Agency, multiple buildings, multiple people, technology out the wazoo and can't keep up. No cost of living in 5 years, no performance raises in more than 5 years. No additional help, more and more work.
I've probably passed spqrzilla in the halls somewhere and didn't know it. (only hint I'm giving)
I like being the hero all day long, people love me, I like most people I deal with, not sure I'm making any difference though, but it's all still running every day when I leave. (and if it wasn't running, you'd hear about it on the news, I don't like being in the news, sucks)
Everyone is my boss. I have 100's of bosses, keeping them in order every day on who gets what, when, before who is difficult.
Stressed. Need more help. But I'm employed. Suck it up and get back to work.

Data Specialist for a state entity. Good organization, awesome bosses, great co workers.
The job is mind numbingly repetitive. The same numbers on the same forms on the same computer in the same office at the same desk in the same chair every damn day. I have to enter info from worksheets that the field techs turn in for their service calls. We have 12 techs that average a service call per hour plus the "on call" tech who deals with after hour calls. That's an average of 60 to 96 forms per day that I load into the system. Each form requires 49 areas of data to load. I despise the job duties with a passion and there are days where I have to force myself to go to work. Been doing it for the last 4 years since I blew out my back at work.
Prior to that for 18 years I was out in the field, doing something different every day. I loved it for the most part but was on call 24/7 and gave up a lot of holidays and nights at home.
And then when I get home and weekends I'm in the shop gunsmithing.
Crap I need a vacation........

All kidding aside, if I ever decide it's time for a career change I think this is the route I'm going to go. Ever since I was younger I wanted a job that wasn't come in, sit down, and be doomed to an office all day, I wanted something that no two days were the same and I'd be making a difference in at least a few people's lives every day.

I'm in the process of trying to change from one customer service job to another. I like customer service and I am good at what I do. I've been out of what I consider my "industry" for a few years and miss it, so I'm trying to get back in. At the same time, I am looking into learning how to make money for myself with some help from some people here.
EDIT: The field is insurance by the way. I tried selling insurance, and I don't like sales for the most part.

No, I did not work on his bikes. Boulder Motorsports did the prep work and engine building on the 1098 but Brad does most of the general work himself. The other bike was a 2007 Triumph Daytona 675 and he won three MRA class championships on it in 2008. Engine was prepared at Foothills BMW Triumph using Triumph race kit parts. We also sponsored some racers on Triumph Thruxtons in AHRMA and MRA. Still have one of those at the shop.

I took the experience I got serving my country for 24 years and the Aircraft mechanics license I got years ago, and went right back to working on aircraft for the AF with a defense contractor. Although I'm still technically a mechanic and NDT inspector and function as a flight mechanic, I just got promoted to Aircraft Inspector. I love the job (most of the time), the pay and benefits are great, and I get to go all over the world doing it. Getting my bucket list checked off a lot faster now too; got to visit Lake Victoria and see the headwaters of the Nile a few days ago. I work with military folks and a bunch of folks who are mostly prior service as well, and we have a great time. Some days I can't believe I get paid to do this.
The only real downside is the time I don't get to spend with my kids, but that is somewhat offset by my wife being able to be a stay-at-home mom now which they really need to be able to help deal with their issues (they are special needs kids). FaceTime on my iPad makes that part tolerable.

Ever since I was younger I wanted a job that wasn't come in, sit down, and be doomed to an office all day, I wanted something that no two days were the same and I'd be making a difference in at least a few people's lives every day. [Beer]
So you're saying you want to drive in circles all day and have society hate you? [ROFL1]
Just kidding, I like my job quite a bit.

I do what Kevin does, only I have 20 years on him. I get to file the cases in court when adults can't be responsible and play with their own toys in a responsible manner or make the right decision. You know, like not steal, rape, or murder. Simple things.
Wow, I'm not sure if I should feel really young or you should feel really old. [PoPo]

I'm a lineman apprentice in the last year of my apprenticeship!! I like the work, sucks to be an apprentice!!! Today is hotter than hell so it makes the day suck. When it's not freezing balls or hot a shit it's the best job I have ever had, it pays well too! Good luck finding a new job.
Man it was hot. I was up like 4 polls today running one 2pair aerial drop. The longest span was probably 300 feet. The worst part was carrying the ladder. If any one was driving down Parker Road past the 12 mile house park and saw a guy 20 feet up the pole next to the road, that was me.
I don't work for anyone yet, but I invest. [Mad]
Thinking of doing more edumacation.

What do you invest in? What kind of education are you looking at?
I work in commodities trading. Stressful and difficult. I love it.

I would love to work in investing, or hell just be able to invest. My wife and I suck hardcore at sticking to a budget.
OT though, I work for a steel pipe distributor in Commerce City. Not my first choice as a career field but it pays the bills and if I stick around long enough it will do way more than that.
But I moonlight as an aspiring mixed martial arts fighter [Tooth] hoping to get back into my old gym and get a fight booked before the end of this year!

Ser 3 guy! :D
I basically invest/trade in securities. Mainly Stock.
Currently long on S, and was long on BAC.
Kinda embarrassing that I couldn't get into any mutual fund and/or major analyst firm in CO. :(
Edumacation wise, I am looking at ECON or LAW.

Investing really takes time. Gotta do tons and tons of homework.
Start watching CNBC and buy some books about investment.
I watch CNBC, CNBC Asia, and CNBC Europe. Watching CNBC Europe as we speak.
More skills you put into the variables, less risky it gets.
PM me if you have ANY questions. I would be more than happy to hear it.
