What do you do for a living?

With all these nice cars, It got me thinking what does everyone on this forum do for a living ! I work out in the north sea out on the rigs!

Sit thinking of ways to spend my son's inheritance.

He told me if I didn't spend some, he'd end up travelling "first class".

To be serious, winding down to full retirement. Much of my career was in Innovation, Design, R&D in the Fall Arrest Safety industry. Company I'm a founder member of, is now a successful PLC in world markets.
