What's Your Occupation?
I'll start:
I am an electrician by trade. Currently unemployed after another layoff 6 weeks ago.  If I don't find something by the end of October, I will probably be going back to truck driving OTR as I did last year for a period of time. Not what I'd like to do, but not a lot of work around here right now.  (An the band played on.)

I was an over the road trucker till I physically couldn't do it any more. Then I
read some books, went to Indianapolis and got certified to be an addiction counselor. So the last 8 years of work were in rehab units in hospitals. Retired now.

 I used it to get me out early, that was the only reason I took part. It was good, but I believe no one will change their lifestyle, any lifestyle, until they are ready. Court mandated rehab isn't as effective as voluntary, IMO anyway. I do not mean any disrespect to you or your occupation by any means. You have a much needed job, and you have my utmost respect.  Thanx, crazy

There was a national treatment outfit that advertised that they could cure
addicts whether they wanted to recover or not. That was BS. Even the best programs have only about a 13% rate of recovery. However,If the person wants to change their life and stop using and is honest with their self and follows a program, they will get better. At least the court ordered treatment is an eye opener. I wish you well. QUOTE=crazy;16644]I have been through a 10 month rehab while incarcerated. For I used it to get me out early, that was the only reason I took part.

Owned my own in the 70s ,Gulf States and ended up with Howmet. Howmet made turbine parts for aircraft engines and special parts for the space shuttles. I stopped driving about 10 years ago. Sometimes I miss being on the road. For 2 maybe 3 seconds.

I'm a molder, that is to say a lifelong thermoplastic processor. Most of my career has been devoted to injection molding but I have also done thermoset, blow, extrusion and bi-axial orientation injection stretch blow molding (a dandy string of words which means I made peanut butter jars and Nyquil bottles).
I have worked in pretty much every position from machine operator to general manager over the past 32 years, but if asked, I call myself a process engineer as that’s what the sheep skin tagged me as being. I am currently a shift supervisor.
