How are you supporting your habit

[tplace]

I was just curious as to what kind of cross section of working class folks we had out here and what they were doing when they weren't workin' the dirt.

I'll start... I'm a Solution Architect for an IT company...A large one... Has two letters in the name... Can't tell you more, or it would give it away. But you can buy computers, cameras, printers, and you may have seen Russell Brand or Manny Pacquiao hocking the products recently.

SO, what pays for your "fix"?

Im working two jobs now, so i should have more money to pay for this hobby. My primary job is a Dispatcher for an ambulance company and when im not there, i work for a roofing/ foam insulation company. Its bloody hot out on those damn roofs haha, but cant complain, the money is good....

I guess my job would be considered blue collar. I'm a network technician for a local cable company. It's the big one, you can probably guess. For the most part I'm the guy that is trying to fix things when we have an area outage. I like to tell people "most people who are smart enough to do my job are also smart enough to not be out at 2:30 in the afternoon in July digging a ditch in order to fix old broken cable". The pay is by the hour, and over time is frequent. 14 years with this company and I'm not complaining, life is good.

Edit: After reading Britmtnbiker's post I should add, MY wife is a HOT dentist who worships my studly hotness, so I get lots of cool bike stuff.....

P.S. don't tell my wife I said that stuff above...

..For me the best items are those slightly used items and those from people that never used the item to its potential or its real pourpose but had to have to new stuff. I love people that have to have todays latests and greatest everytime it comes out.

Self-employed attorney who moonlights as a stone mason to keep my sanity/humanity. I tried to make it work the other way around, but the economy didn't play nice.

[imsorrywhat]

I was a Paramedic in San Diego before I moved here to be a stay at home dad for the last 5 months.
I sold off my arsenal of 6 bikes I moved here with to afford 2 new ones. (craigslist out here has been a gold mine!)
I just got a local paramedic job that will afford my next one. (or should I finally get a new car? NO! Haha)

[cstem]

Media and PR manager for the largest FMX company in the US (you can tell I am proud of that) and we just started a moto news site geared toward the younger set that I am the sole editor of. I do all the announcing for our shows too. So I get to travel alot, work from home more and take care of our two year old while wife works out of the house. I don't get to ride as much as I like, but it keeps me from breaking components so that keeps it cheaper!
