Nope. And I'm not sure...but I think this is a reference to that stupid crab fishing TV show?

Been a trawler and a longliner...but never a crabber. That's lower than even I will go...

I'll start: I myself am a recent college graduate (how long can I claim being a graduate as my "profession"?) and am temping, as said above, in an office. doing data entry.... ALL DAY. I aspire to do something creative and outdoorsy someday. either that, or marry rich. a girl has got to dream.

I'm a pharmacist.

I am a married grandpa that now has the luxury of not having to work. I know how to do lots of different things. Two things I am good at, teaching other people how do to things, making broken things work again.

A big CONGRATS to both of you!

I've pretty much always worked in retail. Currently im a coordinator at lowes handling online orders and in store pickups, second job delivering pizzas. Also have 10years exp in automotive, 95% of it being in the 12volt aftermarket electrical area (worked at Car Toys as an installer).

Honestly, i want a complete life change when i finally have the bus done. I didnt get to grow up around camping or outdoors, I've been working since I was 12, full time since 17 (30 now), and never really did much for me during that time. I went on my first hiking trip last april 2017 and fell in love with being outdoors.

The bus will be the beginning of my new life, full of new experiences that I haven't had before. I want to learn about camping, hiking, climbing, and whatever else I can. I'll be leaving the comfort of my home in north dallas where I've lived my entire life and start experiencing what the world has to offer.

I'll bet he's happy!

As for me I have ADD so I think I do everything but actually do nothing.

I'm also a musician so I would like to do everything but actually do nothing.

The one regular job I've been at the most (other than the arc of being a musician) is driving a school bus. The last four years I've been a bus contractor and in my county there are NEVER contractor openings. If y'all want to know how to squeeze the most life out of a bus for the longest these guys are amazing.

Congrats, man. Dunno about you, but I find I'm doing a lot less "work" and a lot more WORK.
