Yet another cop here. (I'm really putting my BS in Physics to use.) Great schedule - 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week, with a 4 day week every 4th week. That means 3 out of 4 weeks, I get a 4-day weekend. Sweet!

From the time I was about ten I knew I would be a framer(of houses) and eventually work my way up to a contractor. My father was a contractor and the finacial possibilites seemed good.
This is exactly what I've done,, only took 28 years.

-Dig big holes in the Earth(rape the land), build a high rise,put a team in there to manage it.
 I only have 2 more holes to dig & then I'm dirt bagging for 3 years in the mog with the bulldogs in tow. Wife must be sick of it & moves home to Maui.
-No smoke/ Patron when it's a scary lead or if I'm paddling out into some scary swells.rg

BS - Finance
Risk Manager for a portfolio of related companies. Before this I was a wildland firefighter, ski patroller, hoods in the woods counselor, recreation director for a private school, janitor and pizza delivery. So far delivering pies has paid the most $30/hour in S. Utah isn't bad but it only last from 5:30 to 8:30pm.

BS Math (don't consider it a physical science though) BA anthropology, Minor in physics.
Formerly: House Painter, Construction, Particle Accelerator crew, Math tutor, Statistics Research Assistant, Wind Energy Data Tech.
Currently: Self employed computer programer, working a fair bit of the time now that it is winter but planing lots of no work.
Pretty much the prototipical internet climbing forum life as described in the Origional Post...lots of climbers i meet in the real world are less nerdy. Some are accountants.

When I'm not designing rope I break rope. Sometimes if I'm lucky I get to use the ropes I design and hopefully don't break them.

LA City Fire. At this fire the guy who started it also committed suicide by sitting on the front porch in front of the door, poured gas on himself and lit himself on fire with his family in the house. When I got there I was trying to make entry into the front door but he was blocking it. He was already crispy so I grabbed his leg to drag him out of the way and started to pull. The next thing I know I am flat on my ass with the guys leg in my hand. I pulled the guys leg off! It wasn't till after the fire that I realized he had a prosthetic leg. I still catch crap for that at the station.
Rather be climbing though.
