What do you do for work?

[Sariki]

Well I used to be a web design and all things forum guy.

Got my BA in computer science and my Masters in Cyber Security.

Now I’m a first responder in paramedic school.

God how times have changed.

Wow, that’s impressive!

What made you want to switch jobs?

 

[Sariki]

I got bored to be honest. I wanted something that made me feel like I could contribute to Society more

 

[Ravenfreak]

I work in a factory that makes industrial coolers, freezers and other kitchen aides. I used to make parts that went on the coolers but now I deal with paperwork whenever my coworkers get done making parts. I work in the only section that makes shelves for the coolers and freezers.

Nice. I feel like I help society out in a small way. These days I work a city job for the local parks department. I do all the maintenance / clean-up / groundskeeping on several ones in the area.

Its sad how many crack pipes and needles I find though.

Yeah I bet. That has to be sad some times because of that. But I believe that is a honorable job so absolutyvyour giving back

Amazing when you do one thing for a long time and then decide you want a complete change.

Indeed, its not always possible for some people.

I am in between jobs atm.

 

[steel bat]

I trained as an engineering fitter and in the job I had longest I used to build sirens and whistles and similar air movement machinery.

I was made redundant in the 1990's and because of a downturn in engineering I took van driving jobs to put food on the table.
I then found a job delivering engineering products so my skills and experience stilll become of some use.

I am now retired about 8 years ago.

How is retiree life? Do you miss working or glad you’re done with that?

Any good at marketing?

 

[Sariki]

Yeah, it's strange to change careers completely. But I thoroughly enjoy what I do. It doesn't compare in pay at all to what I was doing but the satisfaction I get from being a first responder kinda outweighs that.

Ever see anything crazy being the first one on the scene?

I do tech support for a communications product

 

[steel bat]

I don't miss working one little bit !

I have found sometimes I have dreams about when I worked though.

I’m way to far away from retirement so my dreams are about the opposite of yours. 😛

Currently working towards a PhD, and I’m working for a tech company in the healthcare sector.

At times I wish I had a job that meant I could travel more/spend more time outside, but I’m pretty happy.

I’ll bet! With a PhD you’ll be making tons of cash!
