fundgh 0 #30 May 15, 2003 I get paid to travel, I spend more time traveling than working, I can skydive most places I travel (in my first 50 jumps, I have jumped Deland, Z hills, Sebastion, SD Monterey Bay, Taft, Hollister, Byron, Cal City, etc), I don't really have a boss, and when I am not traveling, I can spend all day on DZ.com!...FUN FOR ALL!

steve1 5 #41 May 15, 2003 I have the summer off (to jump if I can afford it). I have no trouble cashing my checks at the local popcycle stand. My boss writes me good evaluations, even though she stretches the truth. I work inside during cold winters. I have paid insurance. I get to spend hours on DZ.Com each week. I have a retirement plan. (Though not big) I sometimes feel like I am doing something good. I haven't had a parent get physical with me in almost two years now. Most of my co-workers are good people (not counting those who are complete ass-holes). I make enough to jump!!!!!........Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldnewbie 0 #44 May 16, 2003 Best thing is the 10 weeks off in the summer, 2 more at xmas, 2 more at Easter, and 10 more days that they just let me have to visit my parents in February that live in casa grande. They also throw in a paycheck every 2 weeks. Is required to be on the internet one hour per day (so old people can learn how to use the computer) while i'm at work. Most of my co-workers are kinda boring though, they think i'm weird for skydiving, flying airplanes, and racing cars. Ok, maybe i am!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
