Mazz 0 #1 March 17, 2009 How many skydivers out there have a Masters or PHD. How many Lawyers, Dentist, Doctors, Pharmacist are there in the skydiving world?In the Navy, you can't put your hands in your pockets but I was always told not to put my hands in my pockets by people with their hands in their pockets.

AllisonH 0 #3 March 17, 2009 If you look around a medium to large dropzone on a busy weekend, you'll see people who do (or have done) just about every job you can imagine. And it's not easy to tell which is which. That's one of the things I love about skydiving -- I have friends from so many walks of life that I never would have met otherwise.

skybytch 259 #8 March 17, 2009 Quote I met a lot of professionals in the first 3 categories, and even more amateurs in the last category. What's the definition of professional? Gettin' paid - ie I'm a professional skydiver because sometimes I get paid to do it. For some strange reason I think that many of those amateurs you've met are actually professionals if you use the above definition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, those professions usually require certification, and I'm pretty sure most of those amateurs had none."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

mouth 0 #18 March 18, 2009 Looking to start my 6 yr specialist degree soon. Probably go ahead and do the Doctorate, too, as it is only another year. Will almost double my pay so would be worth it especially as I can retire in 12 years so would get paid retirement based on highest two years of service. Of course I act like a goofball in public at a DZ! -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
