what do we all do for a living

1964 was the best year to be born, That's why!!

 

Any silver coin pre 1964 is actually silver. The melt value of most of them is higher than the currency value.

 

wildwest see this link. United States Mint coin production - Wikipedia
Short answer is 1964 was a year when a lot more (2-3x more) pennies were produced compared to other years.

 

I currently work as auto finance manager been doing it for 20 years, sold cars before that been in the car biz all my life . Never a dull moment in the car bizz.

 

Im a funeral director for a family owned funeral home. Im the supervisor because. Im the only full time director there.

 

I am an orthotist. I am the huy you see who fits a back brace for dponal fracture, or a knee brace, or even specialized footwear. Including aome awesome logging boots!

 

Construction Inspector here with a civil engineering degree. Work for a local town now but did heavy highway construction in the past.

 

I alphabetize heads of lettuce...in my spare time I write instructions on how to drink water ftom a glass.

 

Is there a manual with said instructions?? I'm afraid I've probably been doing it wrong all these years

 

Since I'm in charge of writing the instructions I can guarantee that you've been doing it wrong!

 

I knew it! My whole life has been a farce!

 

Cool thread; plenty of talent here on the forum. I'm a toolmaker/CNC programmer/prototype machinist for a defense contractor. I mostly build the tools required to manufacture, assemble and service military/commercial jet engines. 4 years at the current job, 20+ years in the trade in general. Hoping to someday leave the military industrial complex and have a job in the woods.

62...Only Steers and Queers, I don't see no horns boy!!

Figured I would use this one instead of Full Metal Jacket!!

 

Nope that was '64...

 

Production chemist testing water and supplements. Also a wrestling referee for high school/middle school. My favorite are the ones I don't get paid to do: Associate Pastor for a church and Pastor of a church plant...

 

Summer between my 8th and 9th grades, I went to Stillwater, OK and learned to shoe horses. (I was 14). T.Jeff Veal '62 is THE year! Anyway, managed a horse farm (Standardbreds) upon graduation then as my dad said, my brain got stronger than my back and shoeing horses wasn't my career option. Graduated in '86 from Purdue as a Vocational Agriculture teacher. It then became known as Agriculture Education. Now I don't know what they are calling/changing it to, but I will keep the title of Ag. Ed. Instructor. I have a couple teams that I use around our small farm. We raise freezer beef and freezer pork. Our grandkids show our steers until they are sold to customers.

 

I also do office work....my chair has wheels too....weighing in 800# each wheel.
Too many years to go to not get depressed....

Thought I had posted in this thread a long time ago, but I guess I’ll bore you all now
Worked fast food during high school, paper route before that. Planned to go to trade school for programming but there was a wait list so got a construction job for about 14months pouring concrete and putting up steel buildings along with any finish carpentry needed. Did the college thing for all but the last quarter and left two weeks into that last qt as I couldn’t stand computers anymore Back to construction for a framing crew that travelled and made great money while acquiring tools and Noledge. Bounced around in several companies in construction along with my own business for three years but wife hated that. Got fired from one job, and got a job the next day for a small concrete company doing everything from walls to stamped concrete and loved it! Hardest working job in my opinion but wasn’t paying enough and no bene’s. Wife is a teacher and got a job at our high school as the custodian but two years later back to commercial construction for a company that only builds churches. Ended up being a site Supt for them but alas, tired of being gone. Two years of Outside Sales for Fastenal and then onto my current job of 12 years as Director of Maint for a small school district. Planning to retire in a short 6572 days from here with a nice pension. Plus always doing side gigs of construction/painting, and slowing starting to do tree work some. Love serving my community as a Volunteer EMT my church family as I’m called upon. Preached several times and even served as a minister for a funeral last April. dad of three girls and love my high school sweetheart who I’ve been married to for 22 years and is still my best friend.
