View submission: How many people love(d) their job?

I am 51, and have been in my industry since 2003. I love what I do, it's blue collar, paid well, and will provide me with a great retirement. I was with my first employer for 19 years and hired on at where I'm at in 2022. It was the best possible decision I could have made. I really grew to resent the first company's treatment of it's employees and business practices.

Loved my job ( retired now ) … offshore pipe welder ,offshore construction etc. Met new people everyday ,was treated very well as I might be the guy that was called out to repair a leaky pipe while they were shutdown and loosing thousands every minute . Tough being away from family though .
