Warehouse logistics local and international, Shipping, receiving, coordination of transporting goods. I'm the guy that makes sure you get that thingy you ordered from Amazon on time;)
Aaahh. Lol. Hmmm. I am in the import and export of frozen fish. From the fishing vessels which visit our port. So also a little bit in logistics. As far as containers etc are concerned anyway.

Looking for some recommendations.
Since my daughter is now on summer break, I'm trying to think of some good ways to help entertain her. She has coloring books and does puzzles with me but those aren't going to hold her attention for long. Suggestions?

Geocaching!!! :D

Get her interested in wildlife. What do you have in the garden? What could you encourage?

Plant things to encourage different species of bees... or birds... or butterflies. Give her control of a corner of your garden. Research some plants, get feeders, nest/sleeping boxes, learn with her.

How many species of bird visit your garden? What can be done to increase the range?

What comes by night? Could you get a camera trap? They’re great for getting youngsters out of bed early so they can check for night visitors.

You’ll end up with a youngster who has an interest in science and preserving the planet. My daughter is now a professional ecologist.

@Bambam1989: What Linda said. Grow butterflies out of caterpillars for example? ;)

Terrible to be honest, it's not for me.
I have some other options I'm going to look into. I might be being too picky maybe, but I'm highly qualified at what I do, and don't want to settle. I've been urged to go into management, but I'm a very sensitive person and don't know if I could handle firing people and such.

Would you think of a startup?

Her own garden. Modeling clay.
She has clay but only wants to work with it if I'm sculpting too. When I mentioned gardening to her she gets this horrified look and says "but then I would have to pull weeds! That's just too much work!"
I think that's why she likes my house plants. No weeding.
Kids...
