I am a wrangle children for a living.
Seriously, I teach, which gives me a lot of time to practice my diving skills and just enough money to dive.

Executive Project Mgr for a super-sized IT company. I pays for the diving but I rarely have time to do it... boo.

Full time firefighter, best job in the world! And I'm a full time process server, and part time mercenary in the Army Reserves (Seriously, it's only about the money any more.)

I am the Program Director for a grantmaking foundation... so I give away money for a living. Now... if I could only figure out how to give some of it to myself... (just kidding)

I became a consultant so I didn't have to work 70 hours a week doing engineering, or spend 70 hours a week keeping direct customers satisfied. Now all I have to deal with is helping sales people sell jobs, large ones, but they all use the same processes. :14:

Yep, you got me there.........One of my son's friend is a local firemen & he work's about the same....His only complaint is sleeping away from his own bed & MaMa on those 'work days'........good luck & put 'em all out.....
Have re-engineered my so-called career many times during my 30+ years of diving.
Most lucrative addiction subsidy were the years I did programming/software tech support ...but went batty sitting behind a screen all day.
Went through Rad Tech school in the '70's and was also a Paramedic. Decided that amubulance riding wasn't my cup of tea but kept the Rad Tech credentials current.
Worked for commercial xray/medical imaging companies for years but got fed up with the greed/politics and ridiculous travel.
Somewhere along the line I picked up MRI skills and now work at an orthopedic/sports medicine clinic ...where I hope to finish up the ballgame and drift into anonymity.
Don't get to dive as much as I'd like but not sure I could afford much more anyway these days. We (wife and I) plan at least one liveaboard dive trip a year and so far the paycheck is covering it ...along with our second addiction - long distance backpacking.
