What would your ideal PAW job be?

[Mr. E. Monkey]

ZS moderator.

Really? Really?

I'd rather dig ditches.

No, not really. At all. I haz joke.

OT: pencil pusher or a ditch digger with ad'lan after he kicks the ZS mod thing to the curb.

Then it will be time to don my virtual hockey mask and chaps and wander the forum! Hahahahahaha!!!

[MrEnigma]

Scavenger, Guard/militia, and/or procurement specialist.

[ErMaK]

Scavenger/Logistics/Security

Just a general soldier/scavenger being sent out to shoot shit and rifle through the shelves of old stores for anything useful. In all honesty, I can be taught virtually any job that doesn't require large amounts of strength (like heavy lifting for hours on end). I could also teach the less experienced how to shoot.

This sounds similar to what I had in mind.

P.A.W. ideal job... Treasure Hunter.
And not in the Indiana Jones / National Treasure sence. I would be a member of a small recon / scouting team. We would go out and scavenge any tools or materials that the craftsmen in the town or village request in thier efforts to fabricate tools or simple machines, medicines, etc. My team would consist of 5 to 7 members. The billets would be as follows:

1 - Pathfinder - Member goes ahead up to half a mile and ensures safe passage, acts as navigator as well.
2 - Flankers - Side security durring movments and security at scavenge sites.
3 - Main Body - Primary scavenger team. Consits of most senior and most junior members of the team.

When work is sparse, I would run an inn with my wife. Something in the fasion of the "Prancing Poney" in the Lord of the Rings series.

I always enjoy (even now, pre apocalypse) being the right hand man. Not necessarily the one in charge but the one who gets things done. Similar to the lead henchman in Book of Eli but without the forced marraige / tyrant thing going on.

I don't like being in one place for too long so I would need a job that allows me to travel a little.

I am also a skilled craftsman (welder, carpenter, mason) so I would be useful on those fronts as well. I have inadvertantly already trained myself for a P.A.W. I just need to find like minded folks with whom to form a colony or village.

[Tperkins]

Hm...I'd have to say auto mechanic while vehicles are still around. After that, likely the security and defense areas, or general handyman.

Edit: Also, a medic or radio tech.

[MandoMan7]

hmmmmmmm, either ScavTrader or Steam Smith.
both would be awsome and HIGHLY valued PAW occupations

[SummerZephyr]

Scribner - 'cause someone's got to archive the goings on in the PAW, and that someone should be me!

[dustycanuck]

Well, I'm old and fat now, so maybe a teacher/mentor. I can shoot well, but running away might be a problem so no GI Joe for me.
I'm (was) a carpenter by trade, and am an engineer (civil - always polite - ) by training, but I've done a lot of other things. I can work wood with minimal tools, thanks to many hours spent watching Roy Underhill on PBS, and practicing what I saw.
Spent quite a few years of my youth work in a vet clinic, doing all sorts of stuff, including getting my hands wet in surgery; doing animal rescue (minor stuff, raccoons in attics/basements, freaked out dogs/cats). Still have all my fingers, so I guess that went well.
Some experience with household voltages, as well as some electronics work, but I'm banking on that being in low demand in the PAW.
I guess my ideal PAW job would be staying alive, ha ha, and trying to be useful. I'd be happy being the boss, or if there's a good one around, I'm quite happy to be a cog in the machine.

Scavenging is still taking what is not yours, which the last time I checked, was illegal, and as such, is against forum rules. Just a friendly Mod warning.

Neither the denotation or connotation of "scavenger" implies stealing. It is collecting unwanted material, refuse, or other unowned/unclaimed material.

Still, however you may define it, it is still frowned upon here. Feel free to PM me or any member of the Moderating team for an explanation.

Discussions about collecting scrap paper for recycling or aluminum cans from for shingles/passive solar collectors from garbage cans (a legal activity) is prohibited on ZS, got it.

Nope. THAT is perfectly legal. So long as that's what you're talking about you're in the clear and we're all one big happy family! Now that we've cleared up that, let's continue on with this conversation in a legal, ethical, public-face-of-a-charity-organization manner that promotes co-operation and harmony because we would never talk about looting, pillaging, or any other illicit activities that can get us banned without warning!!! (because this IS the warning) Doesn't that sound like fun?

Honestly, collecting cans for use as shingles would be an intereting project. Would be a pain in the ass to actually USE them I'd think, but it would work.

[Rev]

Present day scrapping normally involves honest to god waste that has been dumped along side the road, normally illegally, and in every other context requires the written consent of the property owner to be entirely above board and beyond reproach. Around here the more serious scrappers won't touch a thing off of someones property without something being written and some pictures being taken with a cheap digital or disposable camera.

It wouldnt hurt my job at all. So I would just stick with my patrols and keep the peace. I would also be able to do what I love which is farming and raise cattle. My job before law enforcment was as a ranch hand so i get to do both my jobs lol
