I have worked as a shift supervisor at a large wastewater treatment plant for 31+ years. Top that! Going to RSA on my first safari next summer. You could say I'm primed to go!!!

I am currently employed as a project manager and engineer for a large construction company. We build dams, roads, airports and such. Spent six weeks traveling in Zimbabwe and Mauritius about ten years ago, can’t wait to go back. I am planning my first safari to Africa next year, can’t wait. My dream is to be able to move to Africa and use my skills in construction to support my hunting habit.

I'm in my 27th year as a police officer, currently assigned as a school resource officer in a high school - best job I ever had!!!

I'm thinking about starting a business building cabinet doors and drawers to wholesale to cabinet shops (any info about this would be appreciated!).

Been to Africa twice--first in 1996, to RSA with 2 of my sons, then in 2002 to Zimbabwe for the youngest's college graduate hunt for Cape buffalo. Would like to go back and show Africa to the bride but that doesn't appear likely anytime soon.

Dental/real estate/recently got a gig cutting radio commercial spots, and write a monthly column for a trade journal.

The last two are my super secret double low profile (wife doesn't know about them) pocket change.

Is that "pocket change" being saved for another African hunt? (That she doesn't know about?) Or is it for another gun that she'll ask you about when she sees it? (i.e. How long have you had that? When did you buy that? Why did you buy that? Why do you need another gun? etc. etc.)

Trophy fees. I have a double rifle at the GS. Some will probably go towards that too, but it'll take more than pocket change to finish THAT project.

Hey, who knows? Your radio gigs might make you very, very famous and then buying that double will just be pocket change.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks AussieMike - thought its about time I enlighten everyone with my opinions.

Assistant District Attorney for the last 14 years. Prior to that I fixed photocopiers, painted houses and worked in food service to pay for school. I certainly don't consider law a career-- just what I do to finance the important things in life, like hunting and feeding my family (which amounts to the same thing in good years!)

Information Services Supervisor for a manufacturing company.

Senior IT and Security consultant, systems engineer and Linux fanatic, working mainly in Mozambique and Portugal.
Big game hunting management and organization.
I was member of the Portuguese CIC delegation and of the Portuguese Big Game Hunters Association (CPM), but I no longer have patience for snobs and stiff-necked hunting intellectuals...
Hoping to move to MZ in the (very) near future.

Sales. Fasteners, cutting tools, welding alloys, etc. to those who maintain capital equipment.

US Navy for 12 years, Law enforcement for the last 12. About 8 more years until I retire.

I spent 15 years in the insurance business. I got tired of explaining simple financial conceps to snotty ignorant doctors, I figred if these bozoes could be doctors so could I, so I became one at 45 years old. Now I work ER's spending much of my time explaining simple medical thigs to a snotty sleepy specialist and surgeons that I woke up in the middle of the night.

I'm not complaining now I have plenty of free time to hunt, fish, shoot and raise my 4 year old Quadruplets 3 girls and 1 boy.
