[Camelot]

Automotive press shop automation and die design. (Did F150 and Bronco tools to mention a few)

 

[BigEarl62]

Oil company in Houston. Retiring early 2022 after 36 years. They sent me all over the world and I’m fortunate for the experiences but looking forward to the next chapter.

 

[UnloosedChewtoy]

One of the IT supervisors in a company that does autonomous driving systems for agriculture, various plastic films, radar systems, and aerospace balloons. (Yup, quite diverse. Lots of IT challenges.) Loooooong ways from retirement.

Raytheon ?

 

[Brunzca]

Project Manager in Corporate America, aka "Professional Cat Herder And Jill Of All Trades".

Similar, but with a slightly different title - "Process Designer". So, "Jack of All Trades" in my case, fits well. I do literally design processes and procedures for multiple lines of business within the company, but Project Management is a major component of my job, as is risk identification/mitigation, Agile planning, SIT/UAT testing, corporate communications, and any other number of things.

I've been a mechanic for almost 30 years. For the past 9 of those I've been a lead tech for a government fleet vehicle maintenance facility

I'm a farmer. My dreamjob. Used to be service manager on pulp and paper industry which was intresting also. But I made a choice couple years ago and couldn't be happier.

 

[GKIII]

Aerospace Engineer, defense industry (one of the big contractors). Prior to that (and prior to finishing my degree), was Air Force for 10 years.

Sounds like a cool job. My son just started working for Raytheon last year! Loves the line of work he is in.

 

[Rlandon]

Absolutely nothing! RETIRED after 36 years with the Dept of Defense as a US Navy Seabee (Construction Electrician) for 12 of those years and 24 years as civil service Safety Specialist/Safety Manager.

 

[BTheez]

PO for over 5 years, 15 left to retirement if I want. Currently doing marine patrol

 

[CamFarrBigHorn]

Systems Engineer for Talen Energy at a 2 unit coal burner in NE PA. Electrical Engineer by trade. One of very few coal plants left in the state. Everyone hates coal power until its 10 below or a 100 above. Then they beg for our reliable electricity....

Yea I enjoy it.

Also Raytheon is a good company for those just starting out. They were my first engineering job, lots of good mentors and great pay for new grads. I (and my wife) just didn't care for living in Tucson so we moved back to the homeland (TX).

Hit 30 years as a programmer/software engineer with the Air Force this year in combination of enlisted, contractor and now DoD civilian.

I’m so jealous of all you guys who seemed to have loved your jobs. Is it hindsight? I dread going in every day!!! I’ll be 50 in September so I got 10-12 years left. Yesterday I was chopping concrete all day. Humid as a MF. that’s what I get for not going to college

Sir I didn't go to college and I'm paid very well for what I do for a living, its all how you look at it and what on the job training you can do. don't give up strive to be better and find a better job. even if you have to start off at the bottom a little bit in the beginning what the hell.

My Dad always said keep all your irons in the fire !
