5. I think there were things I loved about most of my jobs

But my longest was as an HVAC tech for a school district. I loved that it was a great mix of physical and mental work. Most of our equipment was controlled via computer systems, so there was a fair amount of "programing" issues to work through.

Also, unique to the field, I worked Mon-Fri and had holidays off (unless I was on call). AND we all had our own buildings to take care of, so never had to clean up another techs mistake or sloppiness.

Also, I just liked the fact that the kids were seeing a woman working in the trades.

And most importantly at this stage in my life, I've got a pension.
