What's your profession?

Re: What's your profession?

It's great to read all the posts about work. Interesting cross section. I'm semi-retired. I spent most of my career as an editor/writer of a major magazine. Got to travel the world doing it. Now I write what I want, when I want and it's mostly about cars (you can google me "Ralph Kinney Bennett") I could not afford a car until I graduated from college, so I was always determined to keep it looking great. Some might call me fanatical, but like most of you, I discovered that there is something relaxing and therapeutic about keeping a vehicle gleaming. I live in Florida in the winter and in a very small town (my home town) in Pennsylvania the rest of the year. I'm with the volunteer fire department there. You should try detailing a firetruck some time. Now there's a job! I enjoy detailing, whether working on one of my antiques, or one of our newer cars. Nobody touches my cars but me. Let's face it, we are a cult. VERY BEST TO EVERYONE, RKB

I am in high school, I am going to go to college and then maybe go to UTI or go to the California Highway Patrol Academy. I know I said I am maybe going to be a cop but they make good starting pay (65,000 to 70,000 a year) that's what I heard. I have my passion for cars that I will always have.

Very interesting reading all the responses to this thread. It seems as Detailing has a broad appeal to many different folks.

I am in sales; industrial supplies such as electric motors, material handling equipment, power, and hand tools, etc... Like meny of you I am into detailing mostly out of enjoyment and stress relief.

Spring will be here soon and I can get back at it!

I am a layout tech for a cabinet company. I have always had a passion for keeping my rides looking good, but my passion is nothing compared to what I see on this forum.

Figured we had a lot of new people. This seemed like a popular thread and it's interesting to see what everyone does.
