I am somewhat humbled by what everyone does! It's amazing how much diversity we have within the common bond of cycling. That and our gender (Mr. Silver non-excluding), of course.
I do aircraft weight and balance for a mostly major airline. I am also going to school and am majoring in Business Admin with emphasis in H.R. Mgmt. I should be graduating within a year, hopefully![]()
Other than that, I am a wife and lap for FOUR cats! I used to volunteer at a no-kill cat shelter also, when I lived in California.
registered nurse. work 3-12 hour shifts every fri,sat, and sun and that leaves 4 days to bike, cook real meals and clean the house after a husband and cat have been left home alone without adult supervision, and shop for new biking clothes but of course.
Self-employed custom database application developer (mostly environmental engineering and compliance) and I own a second business with my sister developing and supporting a tour management software package for the non-profit educational travel industry (i.e. alumni amd museum travel programs). Good thing I majored in anthropology in university!
Keep calm and carry on...
What pays the bills: Program Administrator for a trade promotions firm.
The non-paid but rewarding jobs: wife, motivation coach (if you ask DH I pushed him to finish college), miniature schnauzer servant and baker!

You don't have to be great to get started, but you do have to get started to be great. -Lee J. Colan
My full-time day job is in IT for a hospital system, doing engineering/administration of our systems monitoring software. Basically, my software monitors the status of our business and hospital information systems. Our health system is highly computerized and we need to ensure that the patient care providers always have their electronic data when and where they need it.
I'm also going to school full-time to get a bachelor's degree, with intent to apply to med school in 3-4 years.
Sadly, all of this leaves very little time for riding.![]()
Administrator at the health sciences center of a large public research university. Among my responsibilities are management of instructional, research and administrative space in our academic facilities and several academic support services.
Nonpaid - Regular volunteer at local public library. Also after 6-7 years of working countless hours with a regional dog breed rescue group, now I just love and care for our 3 remaining rescued doggies, 2 of whom are elderly with health conditions. And during 6 months of the year DH and I lead a weekly road ride for the local bike club.
It was so great reading all of your jobs. I dodge bombs on a bad day, plan logistics support missions on the good ones.
I am an Army Officer. 14 years total, enlisted, then became a Warrant Officer. Gave up promotion and left the active army to the reserves, 3 years ago to spend time with my new born. (Could not leave her at 31 days old to go to Korea for a year) Had another baby, now totals 3 yard apes running around here. The reserves called me up full time for the past year, so I have decided to return to the active until retirement pay eligible.
After that, dunno. I have a worthless BA, in English. (and, I can't spell) so who knows. Maybe full time Personal Trainer.
Dentist for California Dept. of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Department of Juvenile Justice (formerly known as the Youth Authority). My patients are boys age 11 through 25.
Also wife, mother and body-warmer to a 6 year old whippet.
