I work online with Appen Butler Hill 20-30 hours a week. I hope it will be enough to keep me on the road for about a year! Then I will likely settle down and get another job as a server in a nice restaurant, hopefully in one of the many scenic locations I disco er along my Journey!

Retired in 2011 from BAE Systems working in Operations Systems IT as Network administrator in the advanced manufacturing engineering division.
Went to college and graduated with Network Administrator Degree so I had paper to go with 30 years experience.

Fully retired in Feb 2016 after I got the degree and just hang around my ranch fixing/building stuff and spend some time during week and most weekends being crew chief on my oldest son's race car operation.
Youngest son will graduate at end of summer with second degree and is showing promise as multi-platform networked game designer.

I am a firefighter for the FDNY since 2000. I love my job and I am able to retire in 1 year but I plan to keep working until it stops being fun. I am also a New York State licensed funeral director since 1998. I went to college in NYC for mortuary science. I plan on traveling 1 month a year until retirement as well as many weekend getaways.

Retired in 2011 after spending well more than 35 years as truck,bus,auto and trailer mechanic, fabricator and welder if it requires your hands I am a very well rounded person if it requires your brain not so much. Gene

Yesterday was my retirement luncheon with my family, freinds and co workers, managers, bosses and my wonderful wife. I retired from the County of Los Angeles as a Special skills electrician and have been doing building automation systems for the last 18 years.
Now it is time to get back to work on the bus, fly the wings off my Cherokee 180 (figuratively speaking!) and ride the new electric bikes we just bought. Have been building welding, machining and wiring things my whole life and just love building the bus!.

Rivetboy · 08-24-2018, 10:52 AM

I forgot to mention I retired after 33 years of County service.

I don't say disabled?
I say dysfunctional!
Cause I am still able just not as quick as others cause things don't function as well as they used to.

After graduating college I joined the Peace Corps for 3 years and upon my return went to work for Uncle Sam doing law enforcement for the past 13 years. I have a total of 18 years (including college internships and what not) of US government employment. 23 more years until I am eligible to retire. Almost there LOL.
