What job do you guys have?

i am just curious as to what kind of jobs you guys have here on TRF, would you say you have an average job or a very well paid job and if this has any influence on buying a Rolex?

Many of us don't have "jobs." Rather, I'm sure many of us are business owners and shareholders.

I'm a Pawn Broker, head of our online sales as well, and could be considered a manager/assistant manager too as I have 2 employees working under my authority. I most certainly don't make Rolex money at my job, I get that from buying and selling things on the side from when I go garage saleing and antiqueing on the weekends. I'm also a full time college student, and avid fisherman. so most of my time is quite preoccupied. Loving my job makes up for the lack in pay though, and my boss just took ownership of the shop, we completely renovated it, and when I start working full time I was promised a significant raise. and it gives me enough extra money to go out and buy stuff that I can make real profits on, plus running a business has provided me with a lot of knowledge that school just can't provide.


what do you do Jack?

Had a job, retired 3 years ago. Before being with the PD I managed a hardware store and after that was a branch manager/loan officer of a local bank before joining the police force in 1987. I've been very lucky, retired fully at age 51.

I was a British soldier for over forty years, I retired about a year ago and found myself bored, so I got a nice little 16 hours a week, part time job. Love it.

My wages are a major influence on my purchases, I save for things I can't afford, my part time job adds extra "pocket money."
