I figure this kind of thread has been made before, but this can be an updated version. I co-own a roofing company that only specializes in metal, we do anything metal related from plain sheet metal fabrication up to standing seam metal roofing and even copper and tin if asked for but it's mainly a standing seam metal roofing company. We have two portable panel forming machines that we take out to jobsites and run the metal to the qaurter inch right there on the job. I'll upload one of the copper ones I did recently just because I'm happy with it but can always upload more projects of mine if people are interested.
But what about you guys/girls, what do you do? Is it what you always wanted to do? How'd you get into doing it?
 Copper job I just did a few weeks ago, I was pretty pissed when I remembered that I had forgotten to take another picture after I got done polishing it all off and I had already taken my lift off the job so excuse the fingerprints and smudges as they're not there anymore

Currently do nothing. Was a retail manager, got fired for absences (despite doctors note explaining the situation which they fucking asked for). Kinda still pisses me off. I was damn good at my job, I got promoted ridiculously fast because everyone in charge of that decision/input recognized how hard I worked. I passed so many other people up in line for that promotion, and then they fired me because I was having some issues that were medically documented and out of my control. 
Anyways I'm waiting to go back to NDT for the plants. Far better job. Can be boring as fuck. Some days I spent literally 12 full hours just sitting in a trailer or a room. But I was getting paid 15 an hour (22.50 once I hit overtime) to do it. I was bringing home close to 6k a month after taxes. So yeah, I'll sit there and do nothing all you want. When we did do work, the conditions sucked ass. I was employed during the deep winter months. Then we're spending 12 hours out in freezing weather. High wind, sleet after 10 minutes you can't feel your hands or your face, and nothing you can do to stay warm.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Definitely a form of work lol school work blows, I'm only 23 but I self teach myself better than anyone has ever taught me so I skipped that step and started straight into a career, unfortunately not the one I would like but it's still a good set up and it's good money

No, it's not. When you combine school with work then yeah, you're working.
Like so many of my 18-25yo friends do.
Man if only my parents weren't such bumfucks

Licensed Fiber Technician w/ Power Limited.
Going to go for electrician next. More than halfway there with my PLT.
So as for now, unemployed, but moving onto a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) contractor. Basically anything from wiring up banks, hospitals, server racks, business/commercial and I'm not sure if the new job does residentials.
Pays 26.50/hour in MN, PLT will bump me to $35. They want to see me work for 4 weeks before the pay raise. I might manage engineering I don't know.

Under the table wiring got me 40-60 an hour depending if the people looked like they were struggling financially or not. I let a few slide here and there if I was in the area.
The companies out here start at 80 minimum even for 29 minutes of work, then it's another 80 up to the hour mark.. 160 for 60 minutes of work is absurd, and no house gets wired in an hour. I'd trade wiring for stuff like free winter plowing or mowing my yard. It's fun as hell until you're balls deep in a 64 pair punch block for an elderly home or new apartments. Thankfully the newest places just go fiber and we don't have to deal with that shit anymore. Apartment racks are so much easier than punch blocks or individual ONT's on house after house after house.

But what about you guys/girls, what do you do? I am currently an AutoCAD Technician for a small land surveying company in a small town in Texas
Is it what you always wanted to do? Not really. I wanted to be a cartoonist ever since childhood, but would love anything involving art and/or music.
How'd you get into doing it? 14 years ago, I quit my job in car rental and I guy who had just moved in to the apartment complex I was residing in and eventually I would hang out at his place and poke smot and play video games offered me a job in surveying.
My past jobs include: Drywall hanging/finishing High rise maintenance man Mobile DJ Portrait photographer Hospital maintenance man Hospital central services Day Spa manager Car Rental agent Insurance Replacement manager for car rental company GPS Technician GIS Tecnician GIS Analyst Construction Inspector Warehouse Manager for a cable company AutoCAD Technician

Dilsnique actually answered all the questions.
The reasons I got into asbestos removal were simple. Being a drug dealer didn't work out too good, I had no real skills or education beyond HS, my felony convictions were not a problem getting hired, decent money with on the job training(started at $15/hr) lots of druggies/boozebags in the industry...
Plus I was getting into this line of work at the right time. The EPA had just released new regs concerning absestos in schools, and the industry took off. http://www2.epa.gov/aboutepa/signing-asbestos-hazard-emergency-response-act I did learn to love my job though. Makes it a lot easier to show up every day. . . .

co-owner of trading/ manufacturing co. specializing in glass wall/storefront hardware. One of my designs is the locks used on all the Ally/ Commerce/ TD bank storefronts....some of the earlier ones, I actually made myself. Our hardware can also be seen at the United Airlines Terminal at LAX and at the International terminal at JFK...Also, the sky box suites at Lucas Oil stadium in Indianapolis all use our sliding hardware. These are just a small fraction of what we have done. This is my 29th year in this business . It pays the bills.
