I am a low-level underwriter for Motor, Commercial Vehicle and Travel insurance with Fortis Insurance (UK) Ltd. This has nothing to do with my career aspirations as I've never really had any. My degree is in English Literature (completed part time over 7 years). My best job was as a truancy officer. My most challenging and exciting job was handling casualty and compassionate cases for the military serving overseas (esp Iraq and Afghanistan). The Lord saw fit to move me on from those to a very boring, undemanding job where I turn up, sit down and get paid. This is in many ways the 'perfect fit' for my second life in which I am providing at least half of the public ministry for my church!

I went into the military at the end of high school, and the oilfield after that. I have worked as a security officer, and as a reserve police officer. Currently I am a deck foreman on an offshore drilling rig. I supervise a crew of roustabouts, and coordinate deck activities.

I am a truck driver and a website designer. It is not, in any way, related to what my dreams were as a young man. All I wanted to do as I was growing up was serve in the armed forces, specifically, in Marine or Naval aviation. But a blood disorder kept me out of the service. Life goes on, you know, and I now have a wonderful wife and four awesome children. It isn't what I'd envisioned early in my life, but I wouldn't change a thing now!

I was a land roustabout for two years.
Electric utility contractor.
I'm that guy with an MBA who has a business that really has no relation to anything he learned in college, with the exception on one class that dealt with the technology I use today. The rest is entirely a matter of providence.
I'm my only employee - and if I had another like me, I'd probably fire him.

Right now my primary means of an income is publishing, but the time I have for that is in between the time I spend as full-time care giver for my mother. And that free time at the moment is dominated by a journal I took over full financial responsibility for, The Confessional Presbyterian (consider subscribing; not beggng, it stands on its merits I think). If I can get the next issue out in the Summer, I hope to return attention to my other endeavors, Westminster text research, and publisher of Reformed & Presbyterian materials. PB should get first news on all these fronts.

I have been a Sign Language Interpreter for ten years. My undergrad degree is Education with minor in English. Now seminary student at WTS Dallas.
Didn't recognize the church name so looked it up; in High School I used to bowl where you worship!
I've been a lawyer for 15 years. Before that I was a rancher from 1974-92. I also was a soil scientist in the 80s.
Right now I'm working full time as a trial lawyer and going to school part time for an LL.M. in Tax Law.
But my real job, and most challenging, is learning theology, raising grapes, vegetables, and chickens, and being a decent husband.

Wow, what a range of different professions.
I'm a career father and husband. (Since I have eleven children and one wife, I have to put it in that order; it's not that it came in that order.)
I am a cabinetmaker, a woodworker. I've got a reputation in a nearby city as "the miracle man" because of particular problem that I solved that had everyone else stumped. It saved the company that hired me to solve it a lot of money.
I'm retired, I guess, because my physical health did not hold up. I still don't know what the problem is, but they call it Chronic Fatigue. It's having all the get-up-and-go, but no oomph to put into it. So now I do a newspaper courier job that keeps us on a sustainable level.

I am not sure how to include your message in my message, Mr. Coldwell. Yeah, we are a church plant from Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas. We have been there for a couple of years. I remember when it was Don Carter's Bowling Alley too.
Hit the quote button on the post you want to include in a reply; if you want to included multiple posts hit quote+ and keep hitting the quote+ until the last one you want to include and hit quote. I forget when Carter's closed; but I'm talking about when it was "new."
