Talking about jobs I've had a few, Oil field pumper, Ins/MF salesmen, motorcycle mechanic, Harley Dealer 67-79, Electrician, Plumber.
Plus I built or helped build two houses, Wired, Plumbed, helped frame, installed windows & doors, flooring, heating systems.
Retired now because I became diabetic at 12 and you know what 35 years of that can do to you.

I really don't want to talk about what I do. I used to love my job, until a week ago. I'm trying to make my own job. I have been managing people since I was 18. I don't want to do it anymore.

Sorry to hear that Adreamer. No matter what happened, I hope you get to do what you love to do!
Thank you! Very kind words! It is just another thing i am debating: Whether to stay at my job or let them fire me. I just don't know. I've been there for almost 5 years. Just don't feel myself growing where I am as i just took a 3 year set back.

Started as dogs body in a cabinet making factory at age 14, was apprenticed cabinet maker when old enough, foreman at 20 yrs old. Left to join Army when Korean war on, served with little distinction in the Royal Australian Artillery, rose to the dizzy height of sergeant. Medicaled out due to hearing loss.
From there on I was in some form or other of sales and marketing.
Was a director of small company manufaturing portable fire extinguishers.
Done a lot of personal developement and sales training.
Retired at age 69, so 55 years in the work force.
Best job??? loved the Army I was ready to be a career soldier but fate intervened.
Married 3 times 7 children plus 2 step who I do not regard as anything but "my kids"
First 2 wives are deceased 3rd one does`t like musrooms.
And enough of this "OLD MAN" stuff.
