What do you do for a living?

[JPOL007]

The official title is Senior Product and Process Development Specialist. I just break stuff and make sure it broke when and how it should. It can be a lot more fun than it sounds :headbang:

 

[PhilHill]

Retired Machinist. I also spent decades building and repairing guitars for Bar Bands on the side. Now I just build what I want when I want, not sure why they call it Retired as I'm mostly just tired........... :dontknow:

I've officially given up on herding cats and have started my own business making high-end audiophile crap, er I mean products.

Nowadays I sit in the same chair as I am now (officially working from home) with a different laptop. Sometimes on endless meetings some of which I chair from the same chair.

I am herding cats but if I can sit here another two years or so then I might officially give up herding them.

I officially became a cat herder when I worked for this company which got sold to HP around 2008.

Nowadays I am hired as a consulting cat herder...

I'd love to say, I help rehabilitate former prostitutes and go-go dancers, but sadly that's not the case

I do trade marketing for a food company.

Hey, this is crazy, I'm a cat herder too!  My title is Cat Shepherd.

Update, I wrote a new job description and title. I’m now Manager, Analytics and Data Science.

 

[Professor Bill]

I'm a professor of art and art history at a small liberal arts college. Back in my pre-grad school days I played in various post-punk and alt-country bands, but never with any particular focus and discipline. I'm a detail freak, so the Warmoth/parts thing has been a good fit for me.

SW engineer here.
And no, lawyers/doctors aren't the only ones w/ too much money to spend at this point (but they're likely to have possibly less free time to build/assemble guitars)  :laughing11:

While these days I can buy any guitar I want (just to let it inevitably sit in a case...) I enjoy building my own a lot more than playing or buying a new one. I keep learning new techniques (fretwork, gilding, staining, inlaying, making wood parts, etc...).
Despite enjoying PRS guitars, and especially the artistry that goes into their Private Stock instruments, I still find myself preferring the comfort of a good old flat top+forearm contour body style over PRS' violin carve.

An opportunity has arisen and I am free for new consulting cat herder roles again.

You know you get the ducks in a row and tell the cats, hey cats this is the direction to go in. Eventually they take a couple of steps and decide to go it alone like ships in the shallows without a pilot...

ooo yes - and then they only realize the value of a cat herder when all the ships crash and the cargo is lost  :tard:
