Thanks. Most of the work is cabinetry for new home construction, largest one to date was 12000 sq. ft. with $250000 in cabinetry. Average jobs are around $45-60k.

Corporate development and strategy for a drilling rig instrumentation company. Stuck behind a desk or in meetings 95% of the time, but the other 5% is on drilling rigs or in the shop, which is cool.

Yes, but they have to be female, I'm afraid. But seriously, I can take buddies for flights whenever there is room and have the right people on board. And some of the guys I fly around are pretty good friends now, too. Heading to Vegas for a week to see some concerts at the end of the month with a few of them. It's not a bad gig. Here's a pic of my ride.
