I feel I should explain my statement of not having a career path..
I did have some path as my major in College was Business Management. That is a general catch all and really isn't a definable career.
While in college I drove a delivery truck for a hospital supply company part time....
After college (in fact the day after) I was in the Air Force with an Inventory Management Specialist title.
Even with that I learned how to operate front end loaders and fork lifts of all shapes and sizes.
I got exposure to the early days of computers when the computer filled a 20 x 20 room and the hard drive weighed 300 pounds of polished metal. At least that is what I think it was made of.
After college I became the Manager of a Ben Franklin Variety Store for a couple of years.
Then I went into publishing of a shopping newspaper, which in turn became a webb printing business for quite a few years until I go bored. (14+ years) While there I learned how to do graphic arts, offset Photo's (with halftones), press plates, operate printing presses that could print up to 48 pages of tabloids with full color shopping circulars and news papers as well as publishing a number of misc. things.
Somewhere after that I owned and operated a Residential Care home taking care of Elderly, Mentally and physically challenged and mentally ill people providing room and board, laundry service and basically maid service along with Transportation to appointments. That is an occupation where the burn out can come quite quick. I think about another 14 years.
Following that I actually went into Accounting for two different construction companies over another few years, Not both at the same time.
Since it actually didn't take very long to get bored with that I made yet another major change and decided to get out of management. I got a CDL and found a job as a municipal bus driver which got old surprisingly quickly so after a few years I remained in the busing business but in a field management position.
Right now I am doing my favorite career which consists of being retired and playing golf. My favorite to this point.
There were a few odds and ends like a Temporary job with IBM working the line creating computer chips. Perhaps that is why those masks don't bother me. I worked in a clean room with every inch of my body covered with special clothing, booties, hoods with masks and rubber gloves. No choice of whether or not you would wear them.
Moral of the story... you don't need to have a specific target to get through life. I was always learning something new and I enjoyed that, but I tend to get bored with stuff quickly.
We drove to West Virginia on Saturday and we saw most of the restaurants were packed. There was a Blaze but it was takeout only.
