truck driver (liquid and pneumatic bulk, gravel, reefer and dry van)
technical type geek for the last 10 years. never made so much money, never hated a job more.

I would think that driving the reefer van would make pretty good money!:o

that would be fun too...imagine driving through the neighborhood with those little bells playing like an ice cream truck!:)
