Doc you already have a gift working with your hands and helping with the healing of the sick and to me thats super special, we need more Doctors like you. Not many can do what you do. |

My SO is a Welder. Because of that I now know more about welding than I ever cared to..... the other day I caught my self looking at the welds on my horse trailer to see if they were "pretty welds"
Same here! My guy fixes ag planes (he has a fancier job title but that sums it up) and does quite a bit of welding for the company in his spare time as well... I now catch myself checking all the welds on my trailer and critiquing them  spoiler alert: he claims he could have done them better :) |

| My husband is the batch manager for a concrete company. But his real gift is automotive. He can fix anything from diesel to lawnmower and do it with bubble gum and tin foil if that's all that's handy. I literally could sit and watch him for hours tackle a project. It got so bad around here with friends and neighbors dropping stuff off that he put an end to it. The concrete company keeps him extremely busy these days. |

Yes! He'll retire one day from his practice but he'll die a cowboy.
And honestly the horse shoeing is what kept the bills paid while in grad school. |

Concrete companies definitely keep them busy... Mine has been putting in long days trying to get trucks running. He's currently in-framing a motor of one of their haul trucks right now |

| Mine use to be a high voltage lineman... that use to scare me to death.. he decided he needed an easier job, climbing poles got too hard on his knees... He went back to driving an 18 wheeler for a large company... amazing insurance, good pay and he's only gone once a week now. Plus side, I have him drive us to all the horse shows, he can back our trailer into any spot with his eyes closed lol! |

Location: SW North Dakota | My husband is a full time rancher/farmer. I tease him that he doesn't have a real job.
We still do all of our cow work from horseback, so our rodeo horses are all ranch horses. I am very proud of him. He talks to his dogsand horses like they're human (either praising or cussing). He can weld anything, does all his own mechanic work, and most of his own vet work. Farms thousands of acres and runs hundreds of cows without a hired man. He's incredibly hard working, I just wish we had more free time together. |

Location: North Dakota | My better half manages a warehouse full of whole sale HVAC, and plumbing supplies-he has a class A license (JUST IN CASE) Been with the company 19 years-they are a local firm that is incredible to their employees. And then when he comes home......welding, remodeling, cutting up meat, plumbing, heating, he can fix campers, cars, four wheelers-his dad always said-if someone can get paid to do a job-you can learn it! Not sure that applies to Doctors but so far he's been right! And of course he does have a few hobbies-but work always comes first..
HEY DOC-buy the dang welder and see what you can learn-good equipment make good welders if you're patient! |

Location: North Dakota | My husband is the Fisheries Management Section Leader for the ND Game and Fish Department. He's the guy that makes sure ND Fisheries are operating smoothly, from stocking to management of our lakes and reservoirs; they are a huge proponent of our tourism industry. He is incredibly smart, but yet incredibly humble. He even developed & published a method in which to monitor over exploitation of fish, while he was in graduate school at the University of Minnesota. He's a total numbers guy!LOL He should have been an engineer, but he loves fish, so he centered his career around what the loved:) |
