Golf Professional

BEAT: Golf Professional salary in AZ is not all that good.

BRAG: $50/half-hour for golf lessons.

[/ QUOTE ]

getting to hang out at a golf course/country club all day is a brag in itself though, assuming its a good one

[/ QUOTE ]

Just bagged 10 traps in one day on USS George Washington, I'm going to Tailhook in September, and in a few weeks I'm the lead pilot doing a fly-over of a Chicago White Sox game. After the game, there is free drinks while schmoozing with rich guys that want my job, then a locker room tour/meet-n-greet. After all that, we're bag-striking downtown Chicago (flight suits to the bars, never fail free drinks and other obvious stuff). In October its 2 weeks in Key West, probably about 6 bombing flights and then mostly drinking, ditto for November in Bermuda.

What do I win?

A conscience rife with potential murder?

For a 21-yr old guy with no business experience right outta college it's pretty baller...also, I've made like 130k+ since January including a crappy-paying full-time job this year and poker 12/hrs a week so the money isn't a big deal.

[/ QUOTE ]
Like I said, congrats on the job, but it's not baller. That's cool that you don't need the money.

In the past two years I've sat down one-on-one to interview

Mikhail Gorbachev
Bill Clinton
That Other Clinton
John McCain
John Edwards
J-Mac (Jason McElwain) and his very classy father
Cal Ripken
Paige Davis (brag for eye candy sake)
BUCKY FREAKING COVINGTON
Phil Mickelson

I'm probably leaving some out. But I get to meet some interesting people.

hey i didn't get on the existence of the military. it isn't weak at all, just a personal preference. i would never want to do it and certainly wouldn't consider it any sort of "baller" job. it's a job that has to be done (although NOT to the extent our government is using it) and i respect that. i just wouldn't want it on my own conscience is all.
