What do you do for a living.
 

I haven't seen this done before on this forum. If I missed it. I apologize.

I'm a material handler in the shipping and receiving department for a large pharmaceutical company in Cambridge Mass. I've been there for just over a year. It's an amazing place to work. I love it.

I work for an oil and gas EPC engineering company (offshore division). We design offshore production platforms. Here are a couple of pics from the project that I am working on. The construction is taking place in Louisiana and it is scheduled to set sail in 24 weeks.

Retired. I quit working when I turned 48...

Retired at 52, 10 years ago.:DDave

Outstanding! That whole "working" thing is WAY overrated...:)....

I'm an autobody technican for 30+years.I also build street rods and do restorations at my home shop.

Union Ironworker...

Right On.....Union and proud!! IAFF Dave.

Nice. And you got to retire at 52. Even nicer.

Our pension has unfortunately gone to hell, though. $50/credit year, 1900hr/credit year(anyone familiar with the trade knows this is quite improbable in a calendar year), and a retirement age of 65. We've basically gotta start lining up retirement on our own, otherwise we'll be at this a VERY long time.. Luckily our hall does have an annuity set up too, so it's not all bad... Aside from the embarrassing pension, definitely proud to be union...

Just retired from the US Air Force today--8/31/13! I was a Aircraft Electrician for 20 years and now I am in Denver as an Avionics QA inspector. I am proud of the time I served and of the places I have been; now I am happy to wear shorts to work and having facial hair.

This thread was put in the watercooler section, which is technically the correct place. I thought it would be a fun thread so I moved it.

Unfortunely I wanted to go to law school but then figured out I didn't want to be an attorney. Loved law school, the practice of law is trying at times.

Should have been a teacher/professor.

Previous life..
 

Retired once in 2003, did a life sentence with the Vancouver Police Dept. Took six months off and then went back to work as an Investigator for a computer software company for eight years. Retired again about a year ago, and trying hard to keep it that way. Smart enough to keep my wife working, but not smart enough to come up with a Rose RC at an affordable price yet.
