What does everyone do for a living?

Owner, Electrical contracting business, been in the trade for 40 yrs. Still enjoying it.
 
Retired a year ago; 30+ years with one of the largest and I’ll say the best aerospace companies. Most of my career was in the development of manned and un-manned space launch capabilities. Almost my entire career in government programs; some we can talk about some not. Spent eight years on the Space Shuttle program with five of those a part of the launch team in the firing rooms. I would not have traded for anything; saw and did things not many can imagine. Now I’m the President/CEO of a technical consulting firm representing a variety of aerospace companies in the development and implementation of space access capabilities; so yes, I failed retirement 101 and now working harder than ever but they came knocking…. Life’s good.

I've had the privilege of seeing a show that Mike did the set and lighting for and I will say that his description of himself and what he does is quite humble. His talents and the shows he designs are phenomenal to say the least.... I guarantee that many others on CSR have seen his work too without even knowing it. The show that I saw was the most memorable my wife and I have ever seen.
 
Wow. Everybody's jobs sound so cool...There are more pilots than I thought there would be (flying vs gliding on the water, I get it though), and fewer Doctors and Lawyers. Interesting.
I spent my early years as a Mechanic/gopher, did 4 in the USAF, and 30+ years in the electronics industry.
USAF taught and trained (Comm Nav and ECM on F-16's), now I'm an Engineer with no degree. Self-taught.
Designed and tested Cockpit Comm (Apache, Comanche, F-16, F-18, F-15, AV8B)(ever hear of "Bitchin Betty"?) to Telecom.
Did hardware design for telecom and now I try to write the software for those systems.
If you have the Internet or a Smartphone, chances are I had something to do with how the data or voice gets there.
 
Retired for thirteen years before spending thirty seven years in education---Career Technical Education.
