I own and operate a small independent insurance agency founded by my grandfather in 1923. Gramps retired in 1977 and passed away in 1987 at age 101. Dad joined the agency in 1949, and retired in 1993. In 1979 I went to help out for a week while Dad was on vacation. 21 years later I'm still here ! If I follow in Gramp's footsteps, I get to retire in 2047.

Regional Sales Manager
Side business - Photographer, I sell travel photography and also fine art photos through my wife's business. It's nice to have to a side business that I can write off all my personal travel through.

Well, Schutzee is not alone here (as he already knows). I started (founded?) an insurance agency in 1974. I basically spend my working hours selling insurance, mutual funds, and annuities products. It's much more interesting than it sounds and yes, I dislike insurance agents as much as most of you do.

I had a client in the office the other afternoon - explained that we were in similar professions as far as the public liking us - - he is a dentist!

I am a Chartered Accountant, but don't practice any more - now I'm an Internet Exec (Product Development) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

1. Medical doctor and senior partner in a fairly large private practice outside of Oslo.
2. Basketball referee at our highest national level ("The League"), which is about 11 divisions below NBA/NCAA, but still a lot of fun.
3. Currently in contact with one of Norway's largest newspaper to work as a wine/food/restaurant critic part time.

Travel is divided between going to congresses, junkets, basketball games, and above all the pure pleasure of tourism/relaxing/dining! Most of it in Y, so any upgrade is coveted.

I am a recently (15 months ago) graduated Materials Engineer from Georgia Tech. I am also the latest entrant in the family business that my step-father's father started in 1947. We manufacture epoxy materials (coatings, adhesives, etc.) for the concrete restoration industry and for the electric motor industry. Currently I travel occasionally for work(for trade shows, distributors' sales training seminars, and project consulting), but mostly just for pleasure. I plan on changing that, as it is my self-given goal to greatly expand our mostly domestic business overseas. I look forward to the day a few years down the road when I open a branch somewhere in Central America (haven't decided where yet), as it will be mine alone to get up and running, providing the temporary ex-pat life that I desire for the experience as well as the extra income.
