What field are you in?

[HarleyDog]

Operations manager at a trucking company! I landed here because I settled. I was working for a multi-billion dollar company as a logistics director which required my attention 24/7 - 365. Holidays were un-existent. Family? Well, started forgetting who they were (not really but you get the drift). Spent 7 months of last year in Mississippi. Guy I used to work for approached me asking me if I would come back. I listened, he made an offer, I counter offered and here I am. I now walk out at 5pm and I leave it behind. Now I also have weekends with my family uninterrupted. Far cry from previous when I would have a noon conference call at noon on every single day including Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I just fell into this career. I make decent money, not rich, not poor. I have a modest savings account and don't have a beach front property. I worked my ass off and my family suffered in the process. If I had it all to do again at the age of 50? I would be a millennial. Although the shit they pull now would have left me and my family hungry 30yrs ago? Seems to work now. Not really, I would feel guilty as heck getting something for free. I take pride in working for it and earning food and housing for my family. It's what I do! Family is everything.
