I'm a retired deeslfitter.

I was the last guy on the panty assembly line. My job was to put them over my head and say deeslfitter, then send them on the conveyer to the packaging dept.....HAHAHA
 
I'm an electronics/computer geek and for the last 6 years I've been consulting as an electrical engineer for the electronics industry.  Mostly computers, cells phone and video processors.

I started smoking to get into a hobby that made good food, and didn't have electronics involved.  The first thing I did was buy a BBQ Guru for my $30 ECB, and have recently upgraded by building my own automatic temperature controller to replace the Guru.

I still make good food, even though I did add electronics to my hobby . . .

I'm an Environmental Biologist.  I work with applicants to identify environmental resources, assess the quality of the resource, then avoid the resource if possible.  If it is not possible to avoid the resource I work with the applicant to mitigate the resources.
 
I was laid off from my IT job at the university due to state budget cuts. 18 months from my retirement goal. I did all the configuration/quote/order of everything from laptops and desktops to all of the servers and heavy network equipment.

Officially, I'm unemployed, but after being off closing in on a year and sending out countless resumes, it appears nobody is hiring old guys. Can't blame 'em when there's such an abundance of younger workers.

I'm fine with this situation. When unemployment runs out, I will be officially retired instead of officially unemployed. :)

Best thing we ever did was start seriously putting money away for retirement starting way back when we were much younger. So, financially, we're fine.

Word of advice to younger folks who are still working. If you haven't started making a big impact on saving for retirement..... start NOW and be ready to not have as much "stuff" as your colleagues, but also be ready to comfortably retire while they're still paying for all their stuff. :)
