I'm a certified financial planner. I help people retire and because of who my local clients are, I sometimes get to trade cards at work.

great to see so many servicemen in our community! Thank you to all!

I work for an insurance company in the 'burbs of Boston on the investments side of the house. Not nearly as exciting as everyone else's job (or so it seems).

One might argue that I have a part-time job of baseball card collecting (and occasional selling) during the day. Sometimes I wonder if my hobby/addiction will turn into something more full-time.

[thecatspajamas]

Licensed Civil Engineer, was doing commercial site design until commercial construction pretty much stopped during the recession and that job went away in 2009. Ramped up selling collectibles (primarily on eBay) from on-the-side to full-time, and have been doing that ever since. I essentially took a big pay cut, and the hours are about the same, but working from home means I see my boys (3 yrs & 9 mos) much more than I would otherwise. As long as the ends are still meeting (barely), I think it's worth it, though there are times that the stability of a regular engineering job can be pretty tempting.

Ted, great car. That's as much a classic as any of the cards you post.

You say you have two of them. What years are they?

[DanP]

Thanks to all of the N54 members who served in the military. You'll never hear me refer to any sports figure as a hero (never did, even as a child). I save that for all of you! FYI... whenever I'm feeling bad that I have to work a lot of hours or even a little depressed, I watch a war movie (started doing this when I was about 25). It doesn't take long for me to realize I have nothing to complain about.

Sold my business and retired when I was 40. Retirement lasted one year (pretty much the most boring year of my life). I realize now I want to work right up to the day I die.

Right now I'm manage a golf course, restaurant and banquet facility I bought with some friends and family in 2002. I'm also own a software consulting business which is really my primary job.

Of course my woman thinks my second job is pursuing vintage baseball cards.
