Re: What line of work are you in?
Oh, bummer! I'm scared to add a new category because I think I deleted all the previous responses when I did last time. Utilities would have been a good one. You can choose a category based on what you actually do in power generation, though (sales, science, service, engineering, etc).

Re: What line of work are you in?
I chose the last one, "Don't work". It's not an accurate description. I'm a "Trophy Husband" or a "Househusband".
Sometimes it's a lot of work, lots of pressure. I'm on call 24-7/365. I have to have the right answer every time and I only get one chance. Failure is not an option. I've learned to handle the stress. My eye twitch is not too noticable and my hands only shake a little bit.

I already put "other"

I am currently a small Business owner. Oilfied water hauling and truck repair. I have been a Gas plant Operator, Gas measurement Technician, Scada/Technical Services Supervisor as well as few other jobs. None of which really match up but hey I am still learning.

Transportation is usually the closest industry to what I do (Marketing for an auto parts distributor.)

Re: What line of work are you in?
I sent the idea, and was totally, pleasantly, surprised when it came out. I had no idea until a friend at Home Depot pointed it out in that day's paper. My one and only shot at national syndication.Hoi Polloi wrote:Jim,

Stripper.
Should I select "Skilled Labor" or "Unskilled Labor"?
Or maybe "Creative Arts".
