[Brewlady]

I am a Senior Accounting Specialist at Mt. Holyoke College. My benefits include tuition exchange for my children. My daughter is away at college, a freshman. My son is a junior in high school. If you have younger kids, go work at a college with tuition exchange, it's the best investment I've ever made.

I'm a logger--a skidder operator that maneuvers a rubber-tired tree skidding machine down slopes that you couldn't walk up or down.
I hate admitting that when everyone else here appears to be a white-collar worker.
Oh, well--everybody has to get their 2x4's and toilet paper from somewhere.

Why that is a fun and challenging job! I worked heavy highway construction for 12+ years to put myself and my wife through school. I worked on huge multi million dollar jobs throughout the northeast. Man I miss running a D8 dozer, 950 loader and working on the slip form paving crew. I also miss the smell of asphalt and concrete too. I am now the Director of Business Development for for a vey large company that makes medical equipment. There are some days I would much rather push dirt or finish concrete than drive a desk.

And a mighty fine feller I might add after your kind words referring to a poor old logger like me. Thanks Jcarter
