I work in planning and purchasing for a large global company. I’m also back in school to obtain my associates nursing degree I’m hoping with the schedule I will have more time to hunt once I have completed the required schooling. I am also tired of sitting at a desk (in my basement) 50 hours a week

Instructor pilot in a small border town in TX. Hopefully we will be just outside Saint Louis this time next year after I retire and go back to work for a major airline.

I've seen a YouTube clip of one of those crashing after takeoff out of a base in Alaska but I'm sure you have nothing to do with it.
:eek:
That was the only one to crash in history and was pilot error unfortunately. Its mainly a National Guard unit up here and a lot of people I work with knew the crew pretty well. Pretty crappy deal all around.

I live in Southwest Florida and I have been a Commercial Real Estate Broker working in Industrial and Income Property sales and leasing since 1987. I did take a 6 year break from 1994-2000 and was the Parts and Service Director for my families Ford Dealership. My RE career and new technology affords me the ability to be away hunting from home more than if I had a job where I had to be there physically.

K9 handler in Salem,OR. Contemplating a move to a less socialist state, but love the job.
Iowa law enforcement here. Plan on retiring in 2 yrs. Cant complain about hunting time since I get a lot of vacation & comp time, but I plan on doing a lot more in a couple yrs.

Beaveralum, come to Iowa. We're mostly conservative republicans, and we have lots of LE jobs. Most come with a hiring bonus as well. But then again, don't all jobs come with that nowadays?

At this point pretty much anywhere is better than OR. We have been racing CA and WA to the bottom and I think we’ve finally won.

The wife and I have been looking at MT, SD, and WY. Had family move to TX earlier this year and they love it, but not sure we would like the humidity.

Right now we’re waiting for a neon sign from the Lord to tell us where to go. 🤣

Tile Contractor. I'm the installer, the helper, the owner, the accountant, etc. I love what I do, I just wish I could find some GOOD help. This trade ain't getting any easier.

In Norfolk, VA. I’m a relief valve mechanic. Cut my teeth in power plants and paper mills, but changed companies and we get a lot of Naval work. Tested the safeties on the USNS Comfort a few days before it headed to New York at the beginning of Covid.
