I'm an IT guy, hardware field service. I work on switches, routers, cabling, and other network gear along with servers, point-of-sale equipment, and other related equipment.
Well, officially I retired from AT&T as a Field Engineer, but that was a down graded job that I hired into at age 56. Prior to that I worked as a Manufacturing Manager for companies including Xerox, Northern Telecom,, BASF, DataPoint, Takata, and Allegany International. Lots of manufacturing jobs that moved off-shore. 
electrician for the last 33 years .heavy industrial and commercial for ten of those years. 23 years working in a plant specializing in control work.

Power equipment mechanic, Thermoforming equipment mechanic, Manufacturing Supervisor, Manufacturing Manager, now I own my own general contracting biz after falling out of high tech in the crash of '01. Somewhere along the line I got a couple degrees and a MBA 'cause I was bored. I just like building stuff. RT

The last 18 years I delivered heating oil and gasoline,my brother decided to stop selling at the end of February, now I work for myself.I am a handyman but specialize in drain cleaning.I spent most of my retirement on tools so that I never have to work for anyone else again.My last 2 bosses took advantage of me and I won't let that happen again!!
