Collector occupations
Posted By: <b>Leslie Westbrook</b><p>Ever since my first few visits to this board I've wondered what types of occupations you other collectors hold. I've been curious to know if many of us work in sports-related fields or if there are any other common threads among our choice of careers. <br /><br />I'll start: I'm a staff photographer for a Gannett newspaper in Louisiana. Although I shoot a bit of everything from news to features, I also shoot an equal share of sports.<br /><br />I'd like to know what you all do, or did as some peoples case may be. <br /><br />Please forgive me if this topic is too far off, I can promise I'll very rarely ever stray away from cards.
