What does your significant other do?

My boyfriend is a crane operator and is one of the best on the type of crane he runs. He works long hours a lot and has to go out of town all the time for weeks on end. it gets lonely and in the begining I found it really hard but I am used to it now and I enjoy the time alone a bit more.

My husband is a soldier serving in the united states air force, he's a wonderful man. Sometimes we get greif from people who don't support the military, however I look at it as a reason to work harder at what we do.

My husband is an assistant logsitic manger at Office Max. He's worked there since 1999 and just now in September 2006 he was finally promoted to a worth while position.

Some of you may get a kick out of this... my boyfriend stands around and pulls his wood all day. That's funny considering he works for Superior Lumber. He either feeds sheets of plywood into the dryer, or more likely, he's standing around, pulling wood out of the dryer. Therefore, he pulls his wood all day. And there are plenty of jokes going around. Sometimes he even gets to plug the (knot)holes with wood(plugs). They got a million of 'em.

Very interesting career your boyfriend has. I would have never thought about the odd hours he has to work. But I guess it makes since that someone has to be there when things happen. My fiance runs his own computer repair business. The funny thing is he went to college and got his degree in English. And he went for a year to try to get his masters but got burnt out. He has been breaking and fixing computers since he was a kid. He has always been good at figuring out whats wrong with computers and fixing his friends. So a few years ago he decided he was going to start a business doing just that. He has only been doing this for 3 years and his business has taken off. It's been a very good choice for him. And the great thing is a lot of times he works from home so he can spend time with me and our daughter.

haha. I think that is an awesome job. I knew a girl going to school for that. It's nice to be able to help people look their best for their farewells. My husband has a more boring job working with mortgages. He helps people who are in or approaching foreclosure regain their house and to get their payments back on track. He helps people who are selling their houses but the houses aren't worth what they owe his bank. A good job but nothing exciting.

She is an amatuer photographer better than any pro I've ever seen and a fiction/poetry writer.She has aday job I'd like to help her shed so she can just do what's important.

wow, my uncle was one and he loved the job, but i dont think i would do it. my hubbie is an Officer in the Army

My boyfriend is a piping design engineer for a very large company here in our city, he loves it there and is currently taking courses on Saturday to learn a new software so he can get a raise in pay which will make everyone in our family happier and me the happiest since I will be extremely proud of him for all his hard work.

My wife is has a degree in survey engineeringand is involved in the GPS industry. She is a VP of the company she is presently with. She is a very smart woamn and is highly respected in the industry which is predominantly male.

hehe. This is funny. Well my significant other is a concierge. The good thing about it is that he has money every day. The bad thing about it is that he meets a lot of people. All sorts of people in a crazy city. So I worry about the girls he meets at work. But oh well.

My partner is a lighting technician in the Film and Television industry. This means that he lights sets for films and tv shows that are shooting. He's done a lot of work on Smallville and the biggest show to date that he worked on was X-Men 3: The Last Stand. He works very long hours during the summer when shoots typically run to 14 or 15 hour days. When he's on film shoots, he's up before myself and the kids are, and not home till after we go to bed. We sometimes don't see him till the weekend. However in the "Off" season (late fall through mid Spring) he drives a truck for a place called Iron Mountain. Regular hours, good pay, and overtime if he wants it. Plus myself and the kids see a lot of him too.

My boyfriend is an aircraft maintainence technician specializing in helicopters. He works out of town a lot, but he loves his job, and that's important.

My boyfriend is currently in college majoring in communications and working in a coffee shop on the side. He really wants to be a cop though, so I'll help him study when I can. :)

My wife is an assistant manager. She's on the computer all day at work...which is perfect for me when she gets home. She doesn't want anything to do with the computer...therefore I'm here, feeding my addiction.

My significant other is a janitorial custodian. He works in a middle school and likes it. All the kids hollar after him when he comes into school a couple of hours before the school gets out. He retired from the Air Force and did a couple of other jobs and than ran across this one and applied for it. He likes this job a lot.

I don't think that is an odd job at all to be honest - it really no different than being a coronor or someone else like that...and as you said, you get lots of flowers :-)

My wife, she finished a degree in accounting and work as a production specialist in manufacturing company where we meet. She was a leadgirl (assistant of the supervisor) before she resigned and now a fulltime mom. She enjoy doing the household chores and having a great time raising our children. In her spare time she is a sale consultant in an investment company. She is paid by commission and sometime she gets good money. She did not regret leaving her old job and now enjoys just being a mom.

i should say you have a wonderful boyfriend despite what he does. That was his choice and it's good for both you and him. My wife is an engineer of cable TV network. She didn't get that job until one year after graduation. Well, it might be her choice, who knows. She has to do it for a living and is doing it all right. Someone said life was a thing worth living for, what do you think?

What really matters is you love the person.Don't think about what other people say... I think it's a decent job and you have flowers as a benefit from his job. Whatever your boyfriend you should really be proud of him...At least after a very stressful day of work...he still brings you beautiful flowers and I think that's so sweet.
