What's Your Profession?

27, Local 433 Ironworker and Structural steel business partner. I have been in the trade for the last 10 years. Love the feeling of being up in the air bolting steel members, such a rush walking on beams!

I'm always curious how IT folks choose their careers. I'm a relatively green project manager (4.5 years). What started you in such a specific field?

It's probably based on where they can get paid the most...all of my IT friends followed the money.

I've been in the field for about 25 years. It was initially a hobby that got out of control when I found out I could get paid for it. The average salary is good for the kind of work I do. But, for me the money was secondary.

which seems to be the opposite of the mindset the younger folks have nowadays. When I was still enrolled in school, I had a bunch of buddies who were IT majors, and when I asked why, 90% of them said 'good money'

Well, not so much anymore now that the market's so flooded....


Anywho, I'm 23, Parts Associate at a Ford Dealership (average coworker's age is twice mine )

Is that the same job as "lazy bum"? If so I've been gainfully employed for years in that profession!
