You have that right Fred! I have been with my company for 32 years, the last 23 have been behind a computer as I foolishly moved up the “ladder”. By the time the weekend arrives I am mentally exhausted. I had more time and energy when I was doing the physical stuff assembling and testing the machines. Before that I drove a semi delivering furniture for some large stores for about 10 years, worked as a Mason’s laborer, drove a skidder and worked in the Black Hills as a logger and thinning contractor for a couple more before moving home, getting married and starting at my current company. I was much happier back in the day when I could work with my hands and at the end of the day actually see what I had accomplished. I had more time to play golf and softball, fish and hunt, too. However, all my choices were not good ones and I have the new replacement body parts to show for it 😂

I started in the trades, in the IBEW. Things weren’t very busy around here in 98-99. So I went to work for a general doing carpentry. My buddies father was the financial officer for the local IBEW. Sometimes I wish I’d just rode it out there. I’d have 25 years in and comfy retirement in view.

Industrial electrical and instrument technician for 40 years. I hold our companies electrical contractors licenses in multiple states. I have always been fascinated by electricity. Still working but currently performing thermography on anything electrical or mechanical. Am presently on nights performing thermography on an operating methanol reformer with overheating tubes. Seems to be some refractory that has and continues to fail.

Well, I've had a number of 'career' jobs; and always left for a better position, with more money and responsibility! To make this as brief as possible I spent the last 32 years as a stockbroker and financial advisor, ending up as Senior VP with Morgan Stanley. This period was from 1985 until the end of 2017.
My partner and I were managing close to 1/2 billion dollars in assets, mostly in equities and muni bonds, with some commodities, such as oil and gas futures. Upon my retirement, i sold half of the partnership to her. Thank God for Fishing Forum/Stages. if it had not been for you guys, I would have been a raving loonie during the quarantine.
