I'm an importer/exporter. I really want to quit the exporting though so I can focus on the importing. My wife thinks differently and says the exporting is just as important as the importing.

I was an engineer out of Clemson, ended up joining the National Guard shortly before 9/11.
After my first deployment, I went back into engineering for about 2 years, then had an opportunity to work for the Nat'l Guard full time and took it. Haven't looked back since, and have been a federal mooch...I mean, employee, for 9+ years.
I'm currently in an administrative position. Sort of a HR thing...for the Army.

I build websites and mobile applications geared towards a specific business goal and improving conversion rates. Basically, I get to be creative and nerdy while helping my company generate more leads and make money.
It's cool. I have a marketing background but love design/UX, branding and coding so it's a nice fit and it pays well if you know how to sell yourself as not just a website builder but as an architect of the digital marketing/conversion funnel.

Not unlike the sales funnel,
Jan 4, 2017, 9:25 AM
|

but my job is just to get people to the sales person. I don't give a crap if the sale is made or not.
A "conversion" in my world is not an actual sale, but a phone call, webform submission etc. That used to be different, but I'm not in the eCommerce business anymore.

For example: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

Project Manager
It is stressful AF sometimes, but I work in Gov't so I have to remind myself that no matter how much I slack off, it will be hard to get fired.
I dread work everyday, but I dreaded it MORE when I was working in Engineering Consulting. I actually liked my Consulting job in Charlotte, but the travel and weekend work was too much for Family Time.

Psychologist in private practice. I have a great gig.
That said, I didn't figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up until I was in my 30s and was not able to fully do it until well into my 40s.
Wish I'd just found a way to get rich at age 27 and been done with it.

When back to being a sheetrocker and being a commercial general contractor as a hobby. There's nothing like looking back every day, every week and year after year seeing what you've accomplished. After retirement I build a 5000sf house for a friend with my hand and a couple other craftsmen.
Looking back I have no regrets, other than sitting on my butt in an office for those months, on my work.
