There are some episodes which show Ward at work in the office, but I don't think his occupation was ever revealed. Does anyone know what Ward was said to have done for a living? Was he an insurance salesman, or an accountant perhaps?

I read somewhere that he was an accountant.

Yeah, I always took it that he was a CPA.

This has always been a question that has went unanswered, but I recall him telling Beaver that when he was in the Seabees, he was an engineer so I can't figure out why he would change careers after the seabees. He said this in the episode "Beaver's Hero" when Beaver told his friends at school that his dad was a war hero.

I read somewhere that he was an accountant.

Do accountants usually conduct surveys on women shoppers? That's what he did in one episode when he didn't want interruptions by the family.

According to Fred, they worked at the Salt Mines:lol:

I think Lumpys dad worked at the same place Ward did? I meen wasnt there an episode where Mr.Rutherford got a promotion,and Ward was upset because he wanted to be promoted? Maybe I'm thinking of another sitcom.

Fred Rutherford and Ward worked for the same company, but I don't recall Ward being upset by Fred getting promoted.

I'm thinking Mr. Rutherford got a certain project at work that Ward was hoping to get.

Yeah I recall that Ward wanted some account and Fred beat him out of it (unfairly I'm sure) they speak about it in "Beaver's Blackeye."
