Well, little fool, I'm a welder. I work all over the country and sometimes throughout the world. It was pretty fun when I was younger. I got paid to see the world! Now I have a family and all the hours at work and sometimes being thousands of miles from home have taken a toll.

Pick something better for yourself than welding!! GO TO COLLEGE!!!!!...or fish.

I'm a history teacher. As my name suggests, I was once a football/baseball coach, but I hung up my whistle and fungo bat this year after 16 years. It's nice to finally have time to grade papers. I spend most of my spare time resurrecting my fishing camp from Ike's wrath.

If we're talking about dads too, mine is a chemical engineering professor at Tulane.

Yes, we incorporated them into Gulf Island, now since the living quarter business is slow they are building the cabins for our marine division.
