Day Jobs?

I was wondering. I have read that many pool players do not earn enough to have pool playing be their only profession. What kind of professions have you done in the past and currently, or are you at the point now that pool playing is your only profession?

In the past. I grew up bagging groceries and Trying to learn how to play pool.
Then I became a Greenskeeper at my local golf course driving back and forth from New Castle,PA., where I grew up, to Youngstown,OH. to play pool every night. (35 min. drive)
Then I moved to Youngstown and worked for a Brunswick dealer.
Went on the road to FL. Went busted. Took a train to Hilton Head Is.,SC. where my dad lives and drove limosines for a while.
Now I'm a custom cue maker (Putnam Custom Cues) and a golfer.
I am also the tournament director in the northeast for the Viking Cue 9-Ball Tour.
Thanks for asking,
