Back in my HS in 88 we had all the shop classes, I tool all of them. I was never good in math, sadly. I would have liked to have been an Engineer, but just couldnt do the work. I was always good at fixing things though. I work for an airline now as a mech and make a very good living with great benefits. Is it my dream job? no, but in 10 more years I will have worked here 33 years and be 52. Time to get out of here and move back out west...
Me and higher math never got along but I am fairly good at fixing things and problem solving.
I would have thought that I would have been a decent engineer.
I got hurt badly in the early years of the wun financially but after a while in the wilderness got a very good job in the IT field. My previous career in TV production which was fun was dying a long while back. Most of what I did doesn’t really exist any more.
