    Full timers who aren't retired: What do you do for a living?

    This is purely out of curiosity. As the title says, what do you do? Wife and I both have careers fields where we could possibly do it but don't really want to home-school our kids.

    I work for a very well-known networking and telecommunications company. I work from my home office (I've been a full-time telecommuter since 1996) so all I need is an Internet connection, a phone, and an airport.

    Well I can’t say we are full timers yet, but by March we will be. I’ve been telecommuting for the last 4 years and we decided that we had no reasons to stay at our current residence any longer. I work in corporate IT, just need internet.

    Interesting. Thanks for the input. My wife isn't at all interested in fulltiming so this was as much for my curiosity as anything. Thanks for chiming in!

    Active Duty military. January marked my first year of full time living. So far I've lived in the Bay Area of CA and now currently in Alexandria, VA in my 38ft Momentum. Learning this whole winter living currently by trial and error.... New to winter (grew up in FL) and new to camper winter living.. Lets just say, its been fun-ish? HAHA

    Cross country trip was awesome in this thing as well! No need for hotels and were able to stop wherever we wanted. Full time living in a trailer with my career path gives me ease of mind anytime I PCS to the next location.

    Captain at a major airline. Just started full timing, again, three days ago when we took delivery of our 2019 385GK-R. Full timing to avoid over priced rental rates and the need to break leases when we move crew bases.
