Chris-Ottawa 0 #1 November 17, 2006 Hey everyone, When I first started skydiving I found many things amazing...obviously. But one that really shocked me was the diversity of the people who jumped. I always try to find out what people do in their day to day lives, and what motivated them to skydive etc... My question is very simple, "What do you do as your day to day job?" I know lawyers, doctors, airline pilots, engineers, and riggers etc. Personally, I'm an "IT Infrastructure Support Analyst" or more simply, I do tech support for the government of Canada. Thanks!

AggieDave 6 #18 November 17, 2006 QuoteSales Manager, Hilton Hotels. Call me if you need a block of rooms. One of our jumpers is the plant engineer for the local Hilton. Which is great, except during football season, he's super busy due to the Hilton being sold out literally every weekend for home football games (80k-90k at each game, they have to stay somewhere).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
