What do you do for work/profession?

[Idagnome]

Production operations and supply chain for knife company.

Mostly enjoy it, when people/vendors do what they say they’ll do. Every day is a creative problem set of possibilities.

Two young kids and a school teacher wife are more my limitations for time spent hunting. Get out for some long weekends, 15-20 days in the field a year.

Pay is decent and flexible on Pto but x-mas is our busiest season and we’re always behind where owner wants us to be by fall, so a lot of checking in from the glassing knob. I don’t have a problem having sharp knives for butchering…

And here I thought you were selling fentanyl, cocaine and meth…

That’s my weekend gig. The hours suck but the pay is awesome.

That's good to know. I'm glad publishers are staying strong against it, seems like a bunch of industries are steaming ahead with AI. I'm more then happy to pay $20 for guaranteed human made art. Didn't think I'd have to write that sentence but here we are I guess.

Yes indeed. AI is a very weird thing. Just the other day I asked it to give me a synopsis of a book I had already read as a test. It was an older book, very small printing, and quite hard to get. It rattled off a full synopsis that had nothing to do with the actual book. I asked it whether it was referring to the book by X author and it said, No. Then I asked it whether it made up that synopsis on its own and passed it off as factual. It said yes it did, and it was wrong for doing it.

So... imagine I had never read the original book and wanted to know what it was about? I can see why some people say AI is possessed. In a world needing, but lacking truth, it is terrifying.

1. Grade control sales support specialist.
I do product support and sales on grade control gps components and systems that go on heavy equipment dozers, graders, excavators. I also am involved in all the automation and technology in new machinery. Survey equipment and really anything gps and laser based. Mostly Topcon and John Deere products. There is a whole lot more to my job but basically to sum it up it’s technology product support and sales in heavy equipment world.
2. I love it. Gives me plenty of flexibility. Some months are insanely busy and others are not bad. I get a lot of time to hunt or be out in woods.
3. Take around almost 4 weeks off to hunt each year. Soon should be able to rate 5 weeks. I’m probably in field 40-45ish days a year.
4. I can’t just take 3 weeks off in a row but I can’t space things out and make the most of it. Personally I will get burnt out any more then a solid 8-9day hunt. Really if I can hunt 4-5 days I’m dialed and get my fill. Come back to work for a week or week and a half and a few Dairy Queen blizzards and I’m HE-man again.

Some of you SOBs are kinda impressive.

Some, not so much.

 

[Moosehunter]

Residential excavation.
Don't mind the work but feeling a little burned out after 10 years. I work with family so that may play a part. Over all it's alright.
I hunt maybe 1-2 weeks a year, along with some weekends and evenings as I live where the animals do

Houses in my neck of the woods are pretty boring. Average sale price $250k. Very little land for sale and when it goes for sale it’s priced outrageous. Kind of a shit market around here but folks keep coming.

Our prices are higher, but in Canadian Pesos. Top sale for me is just shy of $1.5M, but the average home is about $500-600K. Lots of land sales. We had a sale this week of a 11,000 acre ranch go for $4M. Great deal. Fellow agent in my office is working on a $25M+ deal which will be an area record. Waterfront homes go from $800K to $1.75M.

We do have a few manufactured home parks. A new 99 unit park is under construction. Pad rents go for $400-700/month. A new average quality 14’ single wide sells for about $220K. They are now allowing 18’ wides on our highways, so we are starting to see some bigger singles.

Our area is the “cottage country” for the Vancouver BC people. 6 hour drive to Vancouver for me.
