Yep regulatory reporting database stuff with VBA andSAS programming throw in for good measure. 4.5 more years.

Nope. I’m a in the field the majority of the time. I work on my reports in the cab of my SUV, public library or hotel room. And sometimes at home.

I do, and it’s probably more restraining than most everyone on this board. My job is 12 hours of staring at countless monitors and responding to real time system changes. I’m not supposed to be away from my desk for more than 5 minutes at a time. On day shifts, I have a partner that can cover the desk to allow a little longer break, but on nights and weekends, I’m the Lone Ranger. That part sucks, but the plus side is I have the best schedule known to man.
It’s funny how career paths change over time. The first half of my working life I spent in the woods, now I’m anchored to a desk all day (or night). What do you do for a living and are ya’ll hiring?

Sales manager, so I’m either traveling or at my desk catching up. What sucks about travel is I still have all the crap to do when I’m done meeting and greeting.
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

I work in Transmission Ops and Power Supply for a large utility. I’m a little farther down the supply line from the power plant operators who’ve commented. They pump out the power, we manage the grid it flows on. Our group hires pretty regularly, but we are currently in a freeze. These type jobs are available all across the country, and anyone with a NERC certification and a little experience is in pretty high demand. I specifically deal with other utilities that border ours, and they all have jobs available, just getting in the door is the hard part. My education and background is totally irrelevant, but luckily I got in a nuke plant and was able to move to where I am now after a few years.

If you ever decided to make a change, large data centers would probably snatch you up too. Electrical / Mechanical Ops and Control room operations are big in data centers. Most of the guys I worked with had some kind of Nuke back ground, power generation guys, High voltage background, or Control Room Operators that came from Nuclear Plants. I’ve been out of the data center world for a few years and still get recruiters from Google, Apple and Facebook contacting me almost weekly.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

Retired. Office job is aldeer, other sights and honey do’s. Plus all the rental houses. Then the acreage around the house. Then the hunting area. Then friends need help because I’m “retired” and have tools, plus know how to use a few. I went from a nice cushy job teaching/principal to this??????

Been doing it for 39 years. Same here. Except for the first 20 years I would fly to my job on Monday and fly back home on Friday.

Law Enforcement for the first half of my life, now I have an office/desk staring at two computers and one large screen on the wall. Sometime this year, will be adding probably two additional large screens on the wall.
Though, I don't have to sit there all the time and can get up and walk around inside or outside as much as I want. Work 12 hr shifts 3 days a week and one 6 hr.

Mine was 50/50. 50 in office and the other 50 I got to be around the aircraft.

About 8 years ago I had been at a mostly desk job for 10 years as a telecom engineer. Before and after that stint I was more in the field. The desk will put weight and unhealthy habits on a feller.
