I was a faller for 35 years and retired about 10 years ago. I was going bat shit crazy not doing anything and my kid wanted to start up a yard maintenance company so i funded the project. Already had the truck from my logging days so I went and bought a 10,000lb capacity dump trailer and all the other equipment that we needed. I told him I'll do it but I wanted nothing to do with running the business, I just wanted to put my day in and kick back and relax at the end of the day.
He agreed and ran the business for about 3 years and then decided he didn't want to do that and moved on. I decided to keep the business, already had a decent client base and it keeps me active and outdoors.

Have run an IT Project Management shop for 24 years - retire in 6 more years! Plus I own a Jiu Jitsu club...as my wife says "takes 80% of my time and makes 10% of my income." It will be my retirement gig.

I’m an Oilfield Consultant. It’s keeps me busy, pays well and is something I really enjoy.
Worked my way up from the bottom. Got my start on a rig floor sometime ago. Decided to see if I could cut it as a consultant nearly 10 years ago. It’s been good so far. I’ve worked throughout North America and the Middle East, been pretty fortunate and kept fairly steady through the last 2 recessions.
It’s not exactly the best job for a family man, but i have an amazing wife and 2 very understanding kids. We make it work.

no career, just a job. I make paper products. Could be worse. I could be a condom roller.

Electrician, which I’ve been up to for about 20 years.
I own my own business. The dream is to build it up and then sell it and retire. Then just do some construction management work, when I’m not fishing or hunting.

Now there's something you don't see anymore! I did a lot of that when i was young, well mostly snares, I hated packing food when out in the mountains so it was snares, fishing line and a 30/30.
