Vocational Pursuits

[surrealvol]

For those who would like to jump in on this one, let us know what your line of work is.

It might engender (Wow, nice word there, dude&#33 some neat ideas among folks who are in the same fields...or maybe not.

The surrealvol is a college professor and has been one for a few too many years. Always thought I would someday get to teach at U.T. but it just never worked out that way.

Maybe someday, I'll get to teach an occasional night class if I move to K-town.

Go Vols!

I am a bum, but I am trying to become a Victorias Secret fashion consultant. My job would be to sit around on a couch all day while women model and consult me on how the undergarments or lingerie looks on them.

C'mon OWB - he asked for your vocation not your personality flaws.

What do you really do?

 

[OWB]

I edited that post, now go check it out.

 

[GAVol]

Now you are a bum AND a professional pervert.

What more could you ask for? :lol:

Well, I worked in a local guitar store as somewhat of a luthier over summer until I tried out for basketball. I don't know what my next career will be, though.

As for what I'd like to do... Still not sure. I dabble in quite a bit.

 

[GAVol]

I don't even know what a luthier is, but it sounds complicated.

 

[milohimself]

it's basically construction of guitars. The word is pronounced loot-ee-er, as in construction of lutes. The word just gets used for guitars, too.

I've put a few together, it's pretty tough though.

God knows I&#39;m looking forward to that. I just hope I can get myself to go to a Cali school, instead of OSU or UO. The same guy that designed my high school designed many of the UO dormatories... And my high school&#39;s architecture is terrible. Only like ten classrooms even have windows. :bad:

 

[GAVol]

Windows are overrated. My office has two of them and I never have time to look out either of them.

 

[milohimself]

It beats cement walls, exposed cieling and piping.

[surrealvol]

Way to go, SuperVol&#33;

I was in the USAF way back when. I went through Officer Training and then flight school for awhile. Pulled some missile duty also. I came out early after a back injury, though.

Picture? Fountain?

[GVF]

Manager in a textile company in the ever decreasing textile world of the good ole Clinton sent everything offshore industry. Atleast for the time being. After 14 years, our plant is closing and I am in the process of finding a career change. Company based in South Carolina, but I&#39;ve always worked in our GA plants.

 

[volmanjr]

good luck GVF, hope it all works out

 

[surrealvol]

We have got to get a handle on this offshore stuff or we are going to be in a world of hurt before we even realize it. And I do mean a MAJOR world of hurt.

Yeah, good luck man. I hate to see these jobs disappear like that. It has really hurt some of our localities in Virginia.
