👨‍👦 What Does Your Father Do For A Living? 👩‍👦

[Samraiwise]

Or Mother...

My late father had been a soldier for 35 years after HS. A drill sergeant of JGSDF(Japan Ground Self-Defense Force), he was strict and we never saw eye to eye.

When I got married and started my own family, I finally understood my father better. I wish he were still here.

What's yours misc?

My pops was a principal for many years. Moms was a nurse. They escaped coal country and a life of manual labor in exchange for a life of learning and professionalism. 100 kids in their graduating class, 5, of which they were 2, went to college.

Thank you Pops and Moms!

Dad was a hustler.


Had a load of various businesses, mostly in the hospitality area, such as running a boutique motel (lol), yacht tours, also dabbled in fishing. Then he spent time as a broker and now recently he's achieved his lifelong dream of owning an island (srs) and he's currently looking for investors to build it up/sell it.

Dude had a lot of ups and downs in his life in terms of business/working, but never once saw him get deflated or demotivated with all his failures or partners screwing him etc. He'd constantly have a positive attitude.


Wish I could be half the man he is srs.

[Mr.PissShivers]

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

[Goodguy03]

Dead. He served the Galactic Empire for over two decades as the Commander-in-Chief of its forces, purging the last Jedi and hunting the Rebels.

What my father is in 3 words:

Veterinarian.
Businessman
Golfer

He also loves hunting and shooting. He puts down sick animals so has no problem shooting whitetails, ducks, etc.

[Samraiwise]

Thanks for posting everyone! I can see you love your parents and are proud of them. *bow*

Did/Do anyone spend a fun time together with your father?

I never have and I wish we had...

Do you go hunting with your father?

[Retoaded]

Dad is a pediatrician.

Mom ran a preschool for 35 years and is retired.

My granddad was a mailman so they didn't have money and my dad served 8 years in the Army to pay for med school. Proud of that.

[stevebec]

NASA engineer for 35 years. One of his first jobs was ground communicator (CAPCOM) during the Mercury program. We've got a tape of him talking to John Glenn during his orbital flight.

[GuineaDago585]

He’s the hardest working man I’ve ever known.

Growing up he always had multiple working class jobs at a time. I was born when my parents were about 20 years old and my father raised me as a single dad, so it was a constant struggle. I remember he worked at a factory, a food processing plant, a parking garage, and others usually doing some sort of maintenance work. He is a workaholic in every sense of the word.

At one point in my middle school years he worked 4 jobs at once. Full time janitor, part time forklift operator, part time cleaner at another company and owned his own landscaping business on the side.

It was brutal. He’d come home with deep bags under his eyes and drink himself to sleep before doing it all over again. 7 days a week.

But he NEVER complained.

Currently my pops is still doing janitorial & landscaping work, but is still not getting ahead. I sometimes feel guilty that being born into this world robbed him of success, because I truly believe the burden of raising a child did exactly that. My dream is to one day become a millionaire so I can pay off his house (srs).

[Cadet4life]

retired early due to cancer.
was a dental technical for 30+ years, mom & dad ran their own business. very impressive for immigrants who can't speak or read english proficiently.
proves one just needs grit and resilience to make it.

[WetCoaster]

When my Dad was alive he did many things.

Born in 1927 in Saskatchewan he left home with 2 friends at 15 I think and did farming in Texas Oklahoma and Kansas.

Then they came back and did logging in Northern Ontario in the winter sawing trees by hand.

Then joined the Navy during the Korean War. Was wounded there.

Came home and married my Mom and they moved to BC thank god.

He worked in the mines til our neighbour offered him a job at his trucking company.

Became a heavy duty mechanic and then shop foreman.

Retired in his 50's.

Drove from BC to Sask when he was 82.

Even at 93 before he passed away his memory was sharp as a whip and he could crush my hand in a handshake.

The men of that generation were true alpha males.

The man could fix anything.

Again, SOG, Son of a Gun!

Do you go hunting with your father?

No not anymore. Not since I was in my 20’s. As a kid we’d go on a trip us kids with our dads. I kept the first whitetail on my bedroom wall that he had a taxidermist Mount for me. Kept it above my clock snd that and the clock between my band posters: Slayer, Ozzy when he had curly blonde hair, and a Guns N’ Roses black light poster and a Motley Crue black light poster!

Man did that get a lot of comments and was a conversation piece in my room when I had friends over.

Same boat. My father was a principal, my mom a nurse. Both happily retired now, each the first (and only in my father's case) to obtain post-secondary education. They never pressured me but imbued a lifelong love of learning that contributed mightily to the life I have today, for which I am extremely grateful.

[Visel]

He is a man of many jobs. His early days he was in a police department, I think mostly doing paperwork jobs. Then career switch to doing sales stuff. Eventually got into a mortgage company making big bucks ($200k+ in the 80's) then get blacklisted from the entire industry going through a divorce and having now-ex wife max out the corporate credit cards for vacations and gifts to spite him... he couldn't pay it off and lost that career, IDK if he had alimony.

Next chapter of adulthood involved funeral home services, taxi driving... another divorce comes up but this time with alimony... then eventually became a manager for a grocery store... selling real estate after that... then honestly never finding a "good job" again and doing odd jobs like fast food trucks, fast food restaurants, taxi/cab/limo/uber, and now does support/sales regarding retirement plans and stuff.

He's a hard worker that jumps to what makes the most sense to him at the time. I don't think he stuck to a "career" for longer than 10 years. This is where I hope to be different... wanna stick to my career all through retirement, always accumulating higher income and relevant experience.

I love you Son... save me some weed and Ice cream for tonight or I will throw you back in the cage again

[FarmersSon]

My username is literal. My dad is a farmer. I should say was maybe. He's been slowing down for a while but this is the first year he hasn't planted in the spring. He mostly grew potatoes and wheat, with a little alfalfa and occasionally sourghum. We ran some cows, too.

Every summer through my teenage years my job was moving water. We did family vacations and outings, but the time working on the farm is where I really spent a lot of time with my dad. Really good memories.

[Godfrd824]

My father was a man who because of circumstances out of his control had to quit school in 4th grade, (elementary, not highschool) to work. He had done every low class job to be had, janitor, shoe shiner, delivery driver, valet (not the fancy European one, the poverty parking cars one). He worked 3 jobs to provide for his kids. This is a man who bruteforced his way into retirement at 53 years old, and now lives on the beach and has a few small businesses which net him more than enough money to live a life of leisure.

And this is why I'm an ass hole to many of you. If a man who can barely read can make it, why are so many of you ****gits crying about how hard life is?
