    Default What Do You Do For A Job?

    Given the huge differences in us all (nationalities, drum preferences etc), I was wondering what everyone did in order to pay for this affinity we have for our drums?

    I'll kick things off.... I'm a sales manager in the pest control industry.

    Mechanic for Goodrich Aerostructures

    I build part of the engine housing for the Boeing 737NG

    I really want to do something like programming or networking, but I haven't gotten into school. I guess I'm lazy.
