Wow, you all are making me feel super blue collar (not that there's anything wrong with that
). I'm a crane operator for the DoN.

I am a union construction laborer, I have pretty much done concrete restoration for the last 14 years. I run a lot of jackhammers. A lot of downtime lately but we have a boom happening here in Cleveland so a few good years are ahead.

I'm a database administrator for a non-profit performing arts center. Before that I was a web developer for a marketing firm.
I've been a truck driver, forklift/warehouse guy, pizza driver, factory grunt, ice cream truck driver.
Yeah, I've been around.

I'm guessing that sharing stories, ideas, information, and knowledge, etc., about Bicycling, on the computer, would attract the IT contingency of cyclists. 
I've been wondering about the careers of BF members myself - especially those who are able to post often. Although I have access to online information at work, we are strictly forbidden to use online services at work, for anything other than work - and even if we were able to, there would be no time.

I'm a pastor... Stressful work and not real physical which tends to increase the weight. When I ride I feel so much better, when I don't I just gain weight and turn grey. LOL

I'm a tech support operator for SportsArt Fitness. It's an OK job; low stress, which is what I needed after 18 years of biotech engineering and anti-viral research that started to drive me freakin' batty, give me high blood pressure, and get me back doing all sorts of things I shouldn't do. The biggest perk is that the company showroom is our personal gym, so I've got access to all our commercial grade gym equipment, including this bad mofo: The Pinnacle S770.
Chillin' at the office:

I currently work as a freelance writer, and I spent many years as a mechanic for an antique car collector. I have an English Ed. degree that is basically worthless in today's economy.

I'm a professional sports manager and coach at a large club with 10,000+ members.
Not sure how I got there, but here's a rough summary...
Studied architecture, worked as graphic artist in printing industry, studied teaching, was a Design Tech teacher in Catholic boy's schools (I'm thinking I should have got a medal for that...), and finally professional coach.
I'd like to learn how to fly...

Family practice physician.
I used to work in IT: spent about 7 years as a computer consultant (database design, mostly) before going to med school.
