I'm a pharmacist. I write my own schedule, work the hours I want to (mostly), and can hunt literally in my back yard. For instance, this morning I went out before daylight, had two button bucks come within ten yards, let them walk, and still got to work before 10 am.
It seems like I spend more and more time as a patient advocate, though; dealing with insurance companies to get folk's meds paid for. Can't complain about the pay, though.

Deermeister,
My wife is a pharmacist for Target, and while she has a decent schedule, it isn't quite as good as mine. I have my own legal/tax prep practice because I am an attorney and CPA. Granted, her paychecks are a lot more stable. Ah, the trade offs in life.

I love my job! I am a Client Service Manager for an engineering and architechtural design firm. The firm deals mostly with government from the Feds on down to local townships. I develop relationships with potential clients, make sure that our current clients are happy with our work and maintain relationships and service between contracts. I started the job 18 years ago and bought into the firm as a partner 15 years ago. We have mostly repeat clients, so now I'm spending most of my time working with my friends. When I new guy comes along, the regulars tell him to call me and I will set him up with whatever he needs to do his job well and he will look like a hero to his bosses. Of course we have earned that reputation by providing great service. Many times when I set up an appointment with a client he makes arrangements for a project site visit followed by golf, fishing, some hunting or at the very least lunch /dinner and a drink or two. I am now specializing in Transportation related clients ( highways, bridges and all the related support services) and clients that are at the county government level. I do this for the whole nation however realisticly I spend most of my time in Wisconsin with trips to other Great Lakes states and the Rocky Mountain states. Beside my love for the outdoor sports I have started to restore old muscle cars. So far I have completed restoring a 69 Camaro convertible, a 68 Camaro convertible and am currently trying to buy a 67 Camaro convertible. I've convinced my wife that the cars are a good investment but she doesn't think I will ever want to sell them once I have collected my first generation Hat Trick. Now all I have to do is to convince her that an elk hunting trip is a good investment.

Like you I have another addiction. Below is my 65 Mustang fastback that my wife and I restored. Took it down to bare metal, all new interior, custom green paint with gold pearl, radical motor, horse head and ghost flame graphics, and I can't drive it enough! Starting to interfere with my shooting and my honey doos

You should HEAR that thing. Talk about your throbbing member... (or maybe better not)
Job? JOB? We don't need no steenking job. I'm selling my custom earplug business and retiring soon. REAL soon. With the combination of my Air Force retirement, my wife's teaching pension, our investments and what we stand to inherit, there'll never be a money problem for us again. Hallelujah.

I was going to say something about Muledeer Mustang, but he beat me to it. I am almost jealous, and it usually takes a lot to make me jealous.
Wizard, Those sound like some really nice Camaros that you have there, and while I am a car man and can appreciate them, I am definitely a Ford man.

Muledeer,
You're welcome. Does this mean I get a ride in the car if I'm ever in Nevada? GSG

Good read! Great pics! I'm a manufacurers representative for a bunch of plumbing companies. We work with Engineers and Architects to get our products specified. We also work with wholesalers such as Ferguson, Noland, Thos. Somerville...etc. I'm an outside sales rep guy so that means I do some traveling here in the state and a little down in the upper parts of N. Carolina. Fun job! Get to meet some cool folks and occasionally go hunting in some places I would have never gotten to. Thats when I've got time!
