Evening all

Dunno if this has been done and honestly can't be bothered searching.

But what does everyone do for a career or what does their life involve?

I personally am studying a B. Urban and Regional Planning (9 subjects to go yo!) and work part time at a local hardware/warehouse.

Anyone do anything interesting??

[NoOzL]

I'm a structural steel detail draftsman / 3D cad modeller by "trade" but these days I fuck around with the rich and famous making porn
these days I work for my old man managing his structural steel fabrication business. I look after all the site guys, organising cranes, bolts, steel, trucks, pilot vehicles, galvanizing etc. Plus I do a bit of estimating (which I hate) and developed a fairly comprehensive estimating package for our take offs (we calculate right down to the number of bolts and how many minutes we allow the boys to stand around scratching their asses so we're pretty competitive in our market).

We build more complex structures such as schools, universities, hospitals, hotels, reburbs of listed buildings, pools and the odd (expencive) house (just finished doing the steel on one with over $400k worth of structural steel).

We're a medium sized fabricator with 9 on the shop floor, 3 of us in the office plus 2 admin, 4 site boilies, 1 doggy / laborer, and 2 full rigging crews plus 2 other crews we keep busy as much as possible. We do projects ranging from about $30,000 upto about $3 million with the majority of them being worth between $200k and $1.2m and we generally have about 25 jobs on the go at any one stage.

I've also previously (and occasionally still) done a lot of live pro audio / large format audio work and a tiny bit of LX work.
