What do you/parents do for work

[Redleg]

Me - I make checks before that - most alreadly know that answer.
Father - Used to build roads and bridges - if you drive in New Mexico, and Oklahoma - you have a good chance of driving on a road he helped to build or repair. But that was his last job for over 15 years - before that he worked in the Oil Fields in South Texas - building pads for the rigs, and before that he built roads in New Mexico. Currently he is semi-retired at my urging - at 65 he still works construction - but instead of supervising he just does the task of running dozers scrappers and blades in fixing roads around Santa Fe. So no pressures and he no longer works more then 40 hours.

Mom - before she died - she was a working for the IRS doing audits for the Criminal Investigation Department.

Me - Used to be in Gold Exploration... out in the Indonesian jungle and the Outback of Aus... now I am bound to a keyboard as I am a Telephony Engineer.

Dad - Farmer and Engineer... earns about 3 times I do and pays half the tax... oh the benefits of owning a business. The hardest working person I know.

Mum - Used to be a secretary (Scotland Yard was one of her more interesting job locations) and real estate agent... nowadays looks after the house, pets and Dad.

My parents are both deceased for a living.

When alive, my father was a tank commander in WWII, played pro football after the war, and later was a civil engineer. My mother spent her last twenty years doing volunteer work; translating books into braille, braille term papers into text, reading books onto tape for blind college students, and working at a suicide prevention hotline.

Moi? I kill trees, build log homes, and write for a regional newspaper.

My mother also did volunteer work for the Blind - she did the initial training and socialization for guide dogs.

Ma & Pa push up daisies these days.

Before that, Dad welded frames on Mustang autos, after leaving his Ontario, Canada farm.

Mom (after 20 years raising kids) kept books for Burroughs/UNISYS, first in Detroit, then in California.

I've been getting a gov't paycheck since age 16 (39 years now). I've been: lifeguard, recreation director, mailman, infantryman, military policeman, personnel sergeant, sysadmin, and various 'flunky' positions I would just as soon skip describing...:)

Currently doing time as mailman again, in a mid-sized southern California town of 130K people. Could retire next year, but won't (can't afford it yet).

Heh. Had aspirations of journalism and law, but fate had other plans.

I'm a composer, lacking regular training, waiting for things to get into way before attempting to -have to- take it abroad. We also have a quasi-group with friends, which never managed to get professional and isn't likely to. I quit business school.

Father is a retired journalist, founder and forced-to-retirement manager of the drama school of local government, ex-actor and director on stage, and a writer of novels and screenplays for years now. Mother is a housewife, coming from a farmer family.

My father did once sell weapons systems to China. Now he writes books (as well as still dabbling in the business world).

I'm a student, planning on becoming an officer in Her Majesty's armed forces in a few years.

It's the old story, he never really talked about it, except for being injured when he closed the tank lid on his finger and cut it clean off while fighting in Italy. I think it was the 1rst Canadian Division. Possibly the Grenadier Guards. I wish I knew more. I know more about my grandfather in WWI than about my old man in WWII.

He played for Montreal.

I am serving out my time at school, another three years left.
My mum manages her own property and my dad works for the Geneva Stock Exchange, but he is really a physicist and used to work on the particle accelerator at CERN.
