I work as a specialist/expert in building physics. So mainly I deal with condition investigations of concrete structures, deal with indoor air-related problems and moisture problems in structures. Mostly consulting-type stuff. My workdays are mostly around 6 hours, with flexible working hours so I can train twice a day.
I also run some of our BJJ classes in our academy.

I used to hold several jobs.
i served in the army 1999-2002 then did my BA (2003-2006) and MA (2007-2009).
In 2010 I opened my first academy and closed it the following year.
In 2013 i found myself holding 4 jobs:
1. Teaching BJJ 4 times a week
2. A political advisor at the Israeli parliament 3. An undergraduate and postgraduate teaching assistant at the university
4. An MMA journalist for Israel's largest news site + had an MMA show on YouTube.
+
Was on route to start my PhD studies, focusing on political psychology and psychological warfare.
I felt i was spread too thin... So i started cutting my workload.
Today I'm a full time professor and academy owner and couldn't be happier ☺️

Sounds like when I was in the Air Force. I had more time off than I knew what to do with.

Shockingly close to the mark. Funny story; back in the 80s I took karate from a old paramedic who said “ if you know how to break it ... you must know how to fix it”. So, I also became a paramedic and later a registered nurse. Oddly enough, In a large way this career path was influenced tremendously by my martial arts training. Go figure.

Good career to be in right now, I guess, as that's something you can presumably do from home? I've been pondering if I should try to get back into, but most of my contacts have moved on and the magazine I used to write for folded. Still, could be worth a look (especially if UK BJJ ends up being shut down for longer than I'm expecting, such as into next year).

Yeah, I work remotely. The script translation gig is a hard one to get, though. Studios work under a lot of pressure and have very little room for mistakes and delays, so they tend to stick to a small group of work horses that they know can get the job done.

My grandfather trained me in the martial arts and also was an acupuncturist and trained me in acupuncture and Chinese bone setting and herbalism . The bone setting has been invaluable as a coach
