The thread about how old everyone is got me thinking. I'm curious what new Bronco buyers do for a living.

I'll start - I own a rum distillery. Used to own www.corvetteforum.com. Was in software prior to that.
I'm a manger for a large printing company, aka dying breed.

This is a really cool thread. I was a Wildlife biologist making no money and bored so I bullshitted my way into a job in aerospace (unmanned systems) and now I run special projects for a division of the company. Next step is to start something of my own and get out of the corporate world.

I wanted to be a wildlife biologist growing up. I had planned to go to a particular school for that when my Dad, a former football coach turned HS guidance counselor, told to to check 3 things first. Degree required, job availability, and pay. After doing that, I figured out the schooling with masters degree would be more than I could afford, I'd probably have to move somewhere I didn't want to live for a job, and I'd make less than a school teacher.

Best advice I ever got. Still think it would be a cool job, but glad I didn't try to feed the family doing it.

Yeah I knew what I was getting into pay wise when I went into it, and I had a blast doing it for a while. It was more that I got bored and didn't like working for the government.

I had a lot of experiences I'll never forget so I don't have any regrets from it, but glad I moved on.

My son-in-law is a fish biologist (yeah, don't know the official title). I've taken him flying several times and tried to convince him to get his license and try to get on with the US F&W Service as a flying biologist. Seems like that would be a cool job.

I didn't fly, but did ride in a ton of rotary and fixed winged aircraft while doing surveys and captures. Was a ton of fun and is definitely the highlight for a lot of biologists. I think it might be the highest cause if death for biologists as well, but it is what it is.

Much of it will be getting replaced with UAVs soon enough though, so that part of the job will start to go away. Not as much fun but safer.

Police officer, sort of. I am the patrol division captain. Last time I was driving a cruiser it was a Crown Vic with just a radio and light/siren switches. I joke with the kids, yes kids, several are younger than my daughter, that they would have to train me if I ever had to go back on the road again.

After reading 53 pages of mostly bad asses, I realize Iā€™m just a loser. Actually just a welder, but Iā€™m hoping the 3 kids Iā€™ve raised on my own will be able to be successful.

I do NOT consider a welder a loser job. Don't fall into that woke trap. YOU are what keeps this country moving along with many other professions. Ever heard of Mike Rowe ??? Dirty Jobs ??????




Hilarious !!!!! But he always makes the point that without these people, doing these jobs, WE WOULD NOT HAVE COUNTRY.
