Hi everybody,

As I read through all the different posts on the Café I see pro's and hobbiests and lurkers and regular folks. For me magic has been a great friend and hobby since I was eight years old (way back in 1969) when I checked out a magic book from the library. I'm not a working pro, I don't have regular gigs but I perform whenever called upon, sometimes for $$$ sometimes not. When I retire from 'day job' as a technical customer service rep for a large company, I plan on doing magic forever.

I'll bet this the Café has just about every profession imaginable represented.

I am curious, what is your "day job"?

Steel Detailer (if anyone knows what thay is, we are dropping like magicians)

Student I have a freind that makes $50.00 a week being a pooper scooper. He scoops up crap in a pitbull house kinda thing.

Civil engineer and Ryan I know what steel detailers are. Infact I used to manage a group of them. They were extremely hard to find.

TV newscast director. Fun job. Pays very well, and being in L.A. I bump into my fair share of famous folk.

Magician/balloon artist......when I had a real job I used to fix commercial kitchen equipment. Before that I was a welder and prior to that I was in the U.S. Army where I learned to weld.

Hey I'm an Estimator too! I've also PM'd.

I'm a student, but to afford all this danged magic, I just got a job with the Discovery Channel Store.

I now work as a productions associate. I used to be a tutor at a math and reading center for kids.

Nice to hear someone else actually knows what I do for a living. I usually just tell poeple I draw stuff. It's not an easy way to make a living, but it pays the bills. We are extremely hard to find now and not many young people are getting into it. I am only 26, but have been detailing for 10 years, I got a long way to retirement.

I'm a student =D

slowly depleting my parents' bank accounts >=D

I'm a singing and music teacher, both privately and in various Leeds schools.

For one more day, I'm a Quality Control Technician for an asphalt plant. Beginning Monday, I will be an Assistant Project Manager for a local contracting company. Before I accepted the job at the contracting company, I interviewed for a job as a detailer for a metal building company. Both jobs sounded great, but ultimately, the contractor paid a bit more money, and I gotta think of my kids.

TV newscast technical director/engineer. Doesn't pay that well in my neck of the woods though, but it is a fun job. Can't complain. It's better to have a job that you love and make less money than a job you hate and make more money. I have done both and am quite content on where I am. Beats weaving baskets for a living like I used to do (Longaberger)
