Marine Terminal Operator
I deal with oil tankers that ship oil to California from all over the world. We pump it off the ships to the refinery and they turn it into "stuff".
Pros: I get to play on the water everyday and the money is good.
Cons: Constant rotating shifts and missing out on a lot of rides.

LOL Public assistance started under President Obama wow i did not know that, well that means I can quit my job but you are giving the wrong person credit for your "free cell phone" the "Lifeline" program started in 1985 and was extended to cell phones in 2005 under president Bush, wouldn't want you to make a video thanking the wrong guy
On to the question

It was always a goal of mine.

In the early stages of building my empire
IT Professional 17 years
(System Administration, engineering and architecture)
Pro's
Had a chance to do it all from help desk to management, also due to the rate of change in technology, you never stop learning, for instance I just hooked up a free UCS chassis we received for our lab to this new storage that is 32 TB raw of flash, this thing does over a million IOPS, its faster than any other tier 1 storage I've seen and its all in a 3U appliance, take that Oracle dba's no more complaining
. There is always something new so no boredom, even if your company is not "bleeding edge" lol. I got a chance to meet and collaborate with many different types of people. Through that collaboration with others I was also able to make a lot of new friends outside my normal circle, I learned to better appreciate other cultures that i would probably not have had a chance to experience on a personal and a professional level.
Last but not least the "paper" lord knows the pay checks are nice and have allowed my family and I many blessings. I have something for the kids future which they can build upon. I'm able to do things for them that my parents were not able to do for me so in my Drake voice "we started from the bottom now we here!"
Con's
This company Iphone, we are 24/7 365 so I'm never off. I'm salary i get the same pay check no mater if I work 30 hrs or 70 hrs a week (which could be a pro too i guess
) early on travel was a con i gained like 35 pounds trying to eat up all my per diem and I got tired of planes and hotels every 2 weeks.
