Currently, I do. Semi retired and I just do whatever I want.
Yeah. Your "opinion" is based on real world experience, whilst what's on TV is pure propaganda. Like you, I trust my observations to guide my actions for future security of self and family.I do enjoy my job, but unfortunately it looks like the future is cloudy for us. We’ve been hit hard by cost increases and consolidation in the industry. With a family depending on you it’s a hard position to be in. Things are tough in the economy regardless of what you hear on tv in my opinion.
That's really interesting and something I've never really thought about. Cool beans.I used to love my job, I'm a horticulturist at a golf course, everything that is not playable is my domain. The last year or two time has been creeping up on me and the inevitable knee, back, and hip and shoulder erosion is gaining momentum. I do everything from bed design and arrangement to tree plantings and removals, up down and all around. The only thing I would really change is to have the work year round, it is seasonal work here in Winnipeg and I don't want to leave it for something less varied or less physically active. I guess I still love the job, my gripe is with time's relentless march.
Big plus, I am outdoors all the time and I have the liberty to enjoy a pipe whenever I please. I frequently get compliments on my pie, sometimes even for my work.
