Day Jobs... Occupation... Anybody?

[NumeroUno]

With the exception of a few, nobody just lifts. We all have day jobs, for some of you night jobs. I wanna know what you all do for jobs. What time do you have to work out because of it?

The way I see it, work is just something we do in between workouts to pay for all of our food and supps.

Last summer I made an amazing 6 dollars an hour as a camp counselor...but then August was tight, Airborne School was fun.

This summer though is gonna rock, work at pool from 6am till 2pm at 10 an hour.
Then at 3.....Deezen' Time!!!!!!!!

[dragon316]

firefighter/emt we work 24 on and 24 off we have long days in there too(extra days off) so we only work 10 days a month so plenty of time to work out.

[brutal]

Full-time student and work about 15 hours a week at a coffee place so I can buy my supps. During the summer I am a lifeguard, and when I graduate I'm going to be a firefighter (first in the Army, then as a civ)

[born0withno0soul]

i like my schedule but i wish i could change it sometimes. I work three days, twelve hour shifts. Saturday through monday. So my training days are four staright days tuesday through friday then three days if rest while at work. Im a diesel mechanic and after working twelve hours i dont really feel like working out those nights. been working for me so far, but i will eventually hit a point where i will have to change my workout nights to gte over a plateau most likely.

[doomsdaylover]

I am a banker and the guy every dude that walks in the bank says, "Wow, you must work out." It's hard bieng in the white collar world as a lifter. I have to sneak away everytime I want to down a shake and I get strange looks in the lunch room with my bag of whey, my shaker and pills arsenal and my massive chicken breasts and broccoli fare. Am I embarressed? Hell no. I just wish I could pause the day when i want to go eat!!

I do love the regular hous though and it allows me to workout twice a day, which is needed when cutting for me. I can't do cardio after lifting. Just can't.

[PuritySaint]

Monday through Thursday I work in IT for a bank from 8pm to 6am. Gotta love the boring desk job part of life. Aside from that, I'm a Pro Wrestler who travels all over the place for shows. Surprisingly, I still find atleast 1.5 hours a day to commit to train.

[Toni69]

I think I posted here earlier..I am a student finishing my Bachelors..soon moving on to my Masters in Human Resources Management and this forum. I feel my job is to be here with you guys and help you out the best I can...and add a bit of my 2cents where I deem fit to do so..LOL

[ironman_KIMO]

I train during the day and bartend in a show during the night.

[Just-G]

I am a full time fitness professional.I personally train people all day long and love what I do.Train people up as young as 80 years old(They train harder than the ones in their 20's).

Want to someday write a book and get involved in Music more.

I wish the rest of the world could read this thread and see that we are "animals" but not Neanderthal beasts who drag women around by their hair. I myself am part mechanic and part truck driver with some psychology thrown in the mix. I am currently on workers comp with an injury, but I'm down not out.

[Jaymafin]

Air Force

[Argos]

Electrical Engineer, work as a military contractor down at Tyndall AFB, Panama City, FL. I usually pull around 10 hour days so a good morning workout always starts the day off right. The base has a gym, so I usually hit it up around 5:00 AM for an hour and a half workout and then head to work. And depending on the day, I might hit up a little cardio at the house when I get home.

For the pain...

I love how varied we all are. This just proves that our sport transcends any stereotypes pasty fucks lay on us. I love Arnold, but let's face it: his persona didn't do anything to raise the perceived intelligence level of bodybuilders. But the different walks of life I see represented here are truly marvelous.

I am tired just reading all of that.

[reid13]

Used to have a great job as a FF/Paramedic. Nothin cooler than bringing the dead back to life. Also a great iron schedule. 24 hours on, and 48 hrs off. Iron on the off days, and cardio at the station. Now I've promoted and am stuck in an office for 40/wk. I'm over the EMS operations at the F.D. Still trying to get my lifting schedule back on track. Having trouble getting motivated. Little depressed I guess. I miss the brothers. Oh well, head up....

[Stiff]

I am a gas technician. I install furnaces, water heaters, boilers, air conditioners, etc. The worst part of my job is hauling stuff out of basements. Each step is like a shrug and I have to be careful because I was only using my right hand for a while and my right trap got more developed than my left. I learned I have to switch hands every trip up the stairs.

I teach kempo jiu-jitsu to people age 3-50. Hella good job I wear pajamas all day, punch and kick stuff, do some pushups then hit the iron at night. Animals rule.

I am 23 and I work tech support for a company in Troy Michigan. I hate my job and my field but computers in general have been my hobby for about 10 years now.

I have a lot of dreams and ambitions and I am an entrepreneur at heart. Hopefully something will happen for me someday!

I would like to become a firefighter (actually looking into it right now) but the job market for them is not that great from what I hear.

[Ricky P]

I work at a golf course doing maintenance work with my boy Doug. It's not bad, get to be outside all day instead of cramped in an office, and I'd rather wear boots than dress shoes.. Gotta get up before the sun does, that never sits well with me, but we get out around 3.

I'm in the process of becoming a NYC Police Officer. I actually have my medical review Wed., hopefully hired in July. Looking to transfer into being a cop on Long Island - where the pay is just a bit better than NYC, haha.

I'm a full time high school student. I also work at Shop Rite part time and a recreational camp at my high school over summer. =] lol

[dink99]

i am a watior and my hours tend to vary depending on the shift and the section so my workouts happen whenever i can make them happen. usually either before work or late at night after work. sometimes if i work a double i pack some equipment in my car and workout at a friends house or sometimes i even break out a medicine ball and play wall ball behind the building.

[REAPER]

I am a full time med-student which is time consuming and then some, but i make time, i have to. i start the day at 5:30 am with a morning run and workout, school frrom 8-4, work out from 4:30-7 and then again from 11-12, repeat...and when i'm home i work construction, so i start at 5:00 with a run and work out, work from 7-4 work out from 4:30-7 and then again from 11-12 depending on the day...

I'm Head of Debt Finance for a large Russian bank.. syndicated loan facilities, bonds, bi-laterals, etc

It's 9.30 to 6.30 pm, but when it's crunch time I get to stay in until midnight at times. Traffic in moscow is pretty bad as well, so I get to drive for over an hour to and from work. I did find a gym right on the next street to our office so I workout right after work and drive home after the peak hours.

Open space is great for eating canned tuna at your desk and annoying the hell out everybody))

I do cardio @ 5am about 3x/ week. All of my lifting is done after work about 5pm. Luckily I work for a small engineering firm, so they are very flexible on schedule. If im tired and need to work out still I can just cut out early.

[emcdaniels]

ontop of being a full time student (and animal) i have 2 jobs. one in the summer and one during the year. during the year i work part time at a bank doing odd jobs. its a great gig, i can go in when i want and put in as many hours as i want (no overtime tho). its under the table so taxes dont kill me.

the summer job is interning at a hospital in the physical therapy ward. i wanna go on to med school for PT so it looks great on appllications. especially when the hospital i work at is the one where the med school sends all of the students to learn.

[scrawnybynature]

I run databases and a website for a small political research firm. It's your average 9-5, except I have an hour plus commute each way. I work out when I can at home right now, but am looking around for a gym open late enough to accomodate my weeknights - by the time I get home, take care of the dogs, get changed, etc., an 8pm closing time ain't gonna cut it.

[FaceThePain]

I work for the Fraturnal Order of Police 3/4ths of the year, excluding summer.
Summer (May-Sept) I work at a place called CTi, a concrete factory.
We make everything from steps, to concrete dividers for highways.
Hard work, LOTS of heavy lifting, and BOTH jobs combined set me up with a $55,000 a year income.
I couldnt be happier.

[gpcp22]

I work in a timeshare resort financing resort sales. I also purchased a gym with the hopes of just running it and training full time..

[lil ox]

I am a sod farmer which is grass for your yard. I get up at 3 am and work till 4pm workout at 4:30 and I'm a full time father and husband. An average week for me consists uf about 65-70 hours.

[Carpe Diem P.T]

I'm just curious how many different industries we have covered here and If one industry breeds more animals than another. Im in the fitness industry working as a personal trainer. I dont take myself too seriously though. There's already a lot of cooks in that 'kitchen' at present so i keep my head low and just help people acheive their goals and have a bit of fun while they're at it'

I got it easy because im always at the gym. I always have the opportunity to lift iron. Some of you fellas would be on very tight schedules and busting your ass just to get in to the gym after 12 hours work.

Dont get me wrong though. i paid my dues to have that luxury. I studied for 3 years at night to get my diploma in fitness while i worked during the day and did my duties as a single dad.

What do you do?
