I'm a plumber by day and forum lurker by night. Day to day my MA skillset isn't required but I have had to restrain an aggressive council tenant in a lone working situation at night. I was glad of the options my training made available to me. For some their only option might have been a claw hammer.

I am the Developmental Math Instructor at a small community college. My job is to try to reach those who struggled with math their whole life, and convince them that it's really not that bad. It is rewarding, and very challenging. I used to teach part time at Wayne State University in Detroit, and at Henry Ford College in Dearborn before taking this job.

I wonder how many KF members have jobs like law enforcement or physical education where their MA training compliments what they do.

For me, my MA training has no connection to my job I work in sales importing and then selling speciality chemicals to business which make things like paints, plastics and construction materials.

I'm not in law enforcement, nor am I in physical education directly. However, I do run both a MA governing body, as well as a dojo. Abeit, my MA training does compliment what I do for a living, I suppose.

I owe a lot of what transpired recently to get things back on track to every KF member, like yourself, JR, for providing some great suggestions; thanks you all.

Also, Patrick, in a private conversation really supplied the nuts and bolts to repairing the SKKA engine, and a lot of the fault was mine...thanks for your truthful insights, Patrick; you opened my eyes to things I refused to consider.

Things are fallen right into place at the SKKA, now that I've finally pulled my head out of my own rear-end.

I'll leave it at that, and not go into any details, now or ever!!
