Default Careers here on HD Forums

This is just a question out of curiosity:
What do you do for a living? We hear about the HD riders all being lawyers and dentists so I was curious as to what us HD folk actually do to pay for our scoots

Me first-

X-Ray technologist by day (If you take a spill you would see me for the pictures)
I also do part time custom woodwork on the side out of my garage shop (hence the username)

Cool. I set my ADT every time I leave the house.
I was a Union Guy myself fairly recently. I was a member of Local 980 UAW. I was a line worker for Ford Motor Co. when the plant here in NJ closed. I had the option to transferr or take a Buy Out. I was only in my house for a year at the time so I took the buyout and went back to school. Been doing X-Ray for 2 years now.

Didn't see that one. Did a search for "Careers" and it did not come up for me.
Ohh well. That one was a poll anyway.
