I'm a Technical Writer, working my last job. Retirement age now, hoping to retire in a few years. Just entered my 41st year of working for Corporate America.
The last job lasted 17 years, working for a small branch of a subsidiary of a big-name Japanese corporation; I rewrote and wrote technology white papers, marketing materials, and detailed instruction manuals for them. But the mothership mismanaged their way into getting bought by a Taiwanese outfit for their technology.
I've been at the current job for a year and a half; again the small branch of a subsidiary of a big global corporation. But this is a great last job to have: we save lives. We make some of the premiere airborne camera systems plus the industry-leader unmanned autopilot system.
The Airstream is going to be our last trailer. My wife is a heart patient and has mobility problems. I researched the entire industry, and short of an all-custom coach, Airstream has the best provisions for accessibility. We are making the most of every day, and with the Airstream, we are back to making the most of every outing.

I manage an IT group at a major airport. High pressure to keep things up 24x7 with an 8x5 staff. I’m about 2 years away from Medicare, but I adopted twin teen girls from Colombia 3 years ago so I’ll keep working until they can achieve independence. I only get to use the trailer 1-2 times each year now, but look forward to more travel when I retire.

We're retired teachers. Our plan when we went full-time was to work 1/3, volunteer 1/3, and play 1/3. Hasn't quite worked out that way, but fairly close overall. "Work" is Laborers For Christ. "Volunteer" is Habitat For Humanity RV Care-A-Vanner and campground host. "Play" means we go spoil grandchildren and harass their parents.

Worked a few odd jobs prior to joining the USAF in 1990, stayed in until 2011. Was stationed at Tyndall AFB (twice) NAS Keflavik Iceland, Seymour Johnson AFB and RAF Lakenheath England. Did numerous deployments to lovely countries in the Middle East. Worked F-15’s my entire career, all models. After I retired I worked part time at a local Ace Hardware. While I was doing that I went to school and got a culinary degree, love cooking. Now I’m fully retired trying to rebuild after hurricane Michael.

What Do You Do For Work?
Did serious computer security work just before I retired in 2013.
Got a real certification (CISSP) for that work, made the tactical mistake of advertising that fact.
Am now ‘unretired’ and working from home full time! No end in sight. Should’ve kept silent.

I have been an Executive Chef/Food Service Director for 29 years. Prior to that, I was a VW/Porsche mechanic. If it's dead, I can either cook it or work on it!
