BEST JOBS FOR US

Post Reply New Topic

I've had a number of jobs in life including retiring from the Army. I have excelled at sales until I became overwhelmed because I didn't manage my stress. I'm starting my career in driving soon and I'm really excited. I've worked through the pandemic and its become harder and harder to deal with people because the rudeness levels are unbearable. My thought is that being alone and driving over the road will give me the peace I'm looking for. What kind of jobs are everyone doing and loving ?

Some suggestions I have (I wish I had done them myself when I was planning my working career) are surveyer (I feel this job fulfills the need for #s and being accurate that many HSA people have); home inspector, fish hatchery, forestry (to include game warden). I used to work with ex-truckers and they did not speak highly about the trucking industry ( they would tell me they would deliver a load to Miami in the morning; they would then be asked could they deliver a load by the following morning to Phila. They would tell me they had to accept because they owned their own rig and they wanted more business).

It takes at least 18 hours driving at 60 mph to get to Philly from Miami.

Best job I remember having was my last one. Had it for three years. Working in a recycling/processing factory. Loud and fast paced. But very methodical. I started on the bottom floor which had three stations. I started with one. But once I mastered it and realised that station two was close and used the same machinery, I took station two over and operated it along with station one.

Eventually I took over station three. Then I owned the floor. Next to no social interference and everything synchronised.

The downsize was that it could get so busy that I skipped all breaks in order to catch up. But overall, I miss it.

I learned that everything running smoothly is more important than decibels and pace.

The best job I ever had was as head of Technical Services at a midwest university's Physics department.

I got to "play" with things like scanning electron microscopes, high-power lasers, and magnetic resonance spectrometers.  They even let me blow things up in the interest of science.  Sadly, I got sick of the political fights between the "hard money", "soft money", and unionized employees and left for quieter environments.

i'm unemplyed software engineer, had many jobs in the past but always got fired for some reason...
I'm 42 now, no one wants to hire me anymore...
The sad thing is that software development has always be my hobby I do on the side, but nowaydays it seems noone gives a sh*t about you being a nerd...I will write more about this topic in the future
