What do most people do for a living?

Ok, so maybe this is indeed a bit of a hijack...but, seriously...
The original poster got several great answers, and thanked everyone in post #7. That being said, an interesting story was told by FLL, which drew some reaction. And a few "all in good fun" responses. Really, what's the harm?
I would bet Houstonbecky took no offense.
As long as it is not vicious, I see no problem. Just my dollar fifty.

Yes, this has been highjacked.... (PS.. I really like most of FLL's posts)

I'm going to try to get it back on track... because it's a great thread, posted by a new member looking for Lakes Region info. ( IMHO think that's what we should be all about)

Houston..

We moved here 22+ years ago.. I was, and still am, in Medical Equiptment Sales.. (DME as Gravy Boat said)

If, and a big if, you are willing to "travel" NH is a great place for salespeople.

A neighbor is an airline pilot, he told me the same thing.. airlines tax you where you live. My company sees me as a NH resident and dosen't require I pay MA state taxes even tho the "headquarters" of the company is in MA. My office is in NH.. (Home office). Same as 100's of pilots... they live in NH and are taxed by NH law and rules. Even if they "fly" out of Boston.

Plenty of national sales jobs in DME/RX in NH, if you're willing to spend 2-3 nights a week "traveling". Lot's of local Medical Supply places looking for good help.

Good Luck!... NH is a GREAT place to really "Live"

Yes, I did go to school to be a burner technician at New England Fuel Institute, Watertown, Mass. Six weeks, full time in 2007 and did very well.. No luck getting a burner technician job, so hope to get a foot in the company door as a cdl home delivery driver.

I don't really know, but it could be that having a Winnipesaukee waterfront address on my cdl driver's license may not be too helpfull applying around for service jobs. 'Oh, that's down the Neck and on the water....huh?"

Could be that it is not what you know, but who you know, and where you live.

Well for once I must agree with you there. In mass there's a road named for my family's last name. This is land that goes back to my grandparents. It just so happens I live behind the road ( ------ "Circle" .) When ever I have anyone over to price something for instance they always say "hey, are you so and so from that road?" Immediately I think to myself, great there goes the quote through the roof.
