Dave (aka Neil), is it true you just need to lead 'em a little? 
(I hope you saw the movie or that might sound harsh).
Fireman for 27 years now. Hopefully will be able to retire some day and go into either another job or establish self employment with a real cool boss, ME.
It's been a good ride so far but the thrill is gone these days. Don't think I'll ever regret my choice of career, which is something alot of folks aren't blessed to be able to say. I suppose I was lucky. I feel kinda proud of my contributions. By looking at your photo, I think you know what I mean.

I just started working in a machine shop. Got sick of the Silicon Valley rat race. Ever see Office Space? I think I worked there. Now it's just me and my friend with a few CNC tools and a lot of good contacts. Mostly, we make parts for the semiconductor equipment industry. We get between $100 and $500 an hour for turning the parts. Long hours but it sure is fun and I'm back to learning again.

Hey Dave, were you Air Force or Army?
I was Air Force (462 under the old job listings) the first time we were over in Iraq.
Now I'm just a computer nerd in the valley.

I also work for a semiconductor company, and also am a transplant from Oregon. Sounds like a couple of us might just work for the same company.

I fish. LOL
I worked for the Corps of Engs. for 15 years as an inspector. I helped build New Melones, Lake Sonoma, Cave Buttes(in Az.). I quit them for higher wages in the private sector doing the same job at San Onofre Nuc. Plant and then to the steam plants in Lake Co.
Now I'm retired and doing domestic duty while the wife works at a local hospital.

I did landscape maintenance for about 18 years, self-mployed for the last 13 of them. Had a '71 Chevy C10 w/ 250 inline 6 on propane, 200 miles after a rebuilt engine I t-boned a GM econobox that ran a redlight. Bent frame/totaled. Replaced it with a '72 F250, 4spd granny, 360 w/ RV cam. I could move cars out of my way without breaking an idle (and did once or twice in a pinch). The engine loom on that cooked one day and I'm waiting to bring it out of purgatory at in-laws to sell it. Now I work in a jail teaching recovery to addicts for the past6 years and picked up a Psych degree on the way. Just bought an '86 F350 dually crewcab, 6.9IDI, C6 w/ aux trans (wirescooked there too) in need of TLC for the engine but the last owner had replaced the AC, front suspensionand other things.
