current: i'm a survey technician. it's like being a land surveyor only without the math and less pay. still my best paying steady job yet, and my favoritte as well. i get paid to hike around the alaskan wilderness and play with gps equipment. i also occasionally ride fourwheelers instead of hike, sometimes with tracks(instead of wheels). i also fabricate all the custom racks for the fourwheelers when needed. best job ever.

i've been an outdoors kind of person my whole life and don't see that preference changing in the forseeable future. i don't like working inside. i don't like physically passive work. i don't want to work with computers(in the traditional sense anyway).
