Occupations?
I am a transit bus builder. Have built busses for Seattle, New York City, Chicago, countless canadian cities, Boston, Hartford, Philidelphia and many I can't remember.
I had a lot of restaurant experience in the past. I had thought of going to brewers school but it costs too much. Would love to open a bre pub but wife isn't gung ho about it so unlikely to happen. So hombrewing is as close as I will get, for now.

I am a Chemistry teacher just north of Cincinnati. I started brewing 1 1/2 years ago. I get really excited when I can tie brewing into our classroom conversations. (The Process of Fermentation is a topic required by the state of Ohio).
That's the problem with the school systems and admin people......they don't tell you when your in high school that you can brew beer or work in a brewery when your older (winery, distillery)......I know if my high school guidance counselor would of said work extra hard in math, biology, chemistry, and physics and go to college and get a degree in that field and then you can grow up to be a brewer things may well have been much different......it's sort of a taboo thing to promote alcohol at a young age but they ought to be honest and tell you what jobs are really out there
not just the ones they think you should aspire to do.......
I am originally from the Cincy area (NK to be exact) and my high school Chem teacher was a blast. She gave me and a couple of buddies a book on building a still....... I loved chemistry after that! As for profession.. started out to be a Vet and ended up as an Operations Manager after some time in the Air Force. Dream is to tie my love of cooking into a full time career some day.
i am a chef. been working in restaurants for about eight years. did the whole culinary school thing and i love it. creating edible art is the most fun i think i have, other than skateboarding, which i've been doing for eleven years now. so creating my own beer was the next logical step in my mind. plus i'm tired of paying so much for commercial beers with no flavor.
I am a product support specialist for a glass panel avionics company. We make EFIS units. (Google EFIS if you wannat know)
I brew in my spare time.
Used to be a DJ
Play video games
Ride the Harley
After 21 years in floorcovering store (warehousing and installations) I now work making big a$$ blades for wind power generation. Doubled my take home pay (and brew potential) within 3 months and benefits are awesome compared to before. It's a pretty cool operation that is already expanding for the second time in only a year. Never thought I'd love a job but I really enjoy this one! The blades are 154' (45m) long and we start making a bigger one later this year. Never dreamed that I would someday walk inside of a propeller blade but they are HUGE! Nice ride there Erock. I can finally start looking into aquiring one of those myself.
Nice ride Erock! I have two things I'm trying to save for...other than my monthly mortageg payment...a vacation to Austrailia and NZ, and a motorcycle. I want true custom chopper type, but don't ever see me paying 6 figures for one, so I'll probably stick with Harley as well....I just want it loud, obnoxious, and dark.

That's funny, exactly how I prefer my women
(someone had to, figured I would be the first)
One wouldn't think it mixes with brewer, but I'm a personal trainer and strength coach. I work on common populations at a locally owned commercial gym and to strength and conditioning for a local college. After getting my BS in kinesiology years ago I'm starting graduate school in june to earn my doctor of physical therapy degree so brewing might take a major back seat for the next three years...
brewpub in the future? hmm it's been thrown around with my buddy who is a county club chef, so who knows... wouldn't be for a long time either way.
I love my job.... I work on Patrol with the sheriffs department, but I am not a cop. I do crime scenes and cold calls. I have a BS in criminal justice and am POST trained as a Crime Scene Investigator (among other things). I have an obsession with blood spatter and fingerprints. It's my job to find out what happened and how it happened and to provide supporting evidence for arrests in these cases. My husband calls me a professional tattle-tale, LOL
Well, I was a professional Chef for about 14 years. Now I'm a college student studying Geography and I sell wine and cigars for a living. Exciting.
