32 years in manufacturing, 8 yrs with Maytag, 8 years with Unilever, and just celebrated 16 yrs with the current company. First 5 yrs I was a production worker, the last 27 in management. My current job has me overseeing 19 professionals doing post order management on accounts totally a billion dollars annually.
I really enjoy my job and it allows me to travel to customers when I want to pretty much wherever I want as we ship globally.

37 years as insurance adjuster/manager. Retiring this July can't wait to spend more time with the grandkids, cows, boat, and hunting/trapping as long as my knees hold out.

Started in the insurance business as an agent in 1967. Said I wouldn't work much past 80. Retired almost 2 years ago.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

House framer for a couple of my early years, then on to all sorts of stuff, many irons in the fire at the same time. Commercial fisherman, longshoreman (not proud of that job, about three years), fur buyer, US Forest Service contractor, timberland investment, rental houses, hunting guide, to name a few. I have no plans to stop doing what I'm doing.
Next December I will be 66 and 8 months old, I will then qualify for my maximum Social Security benefits. At that time I will join the "Gun-a-Month" club. But I will continue "working".
