I work at a grocery store doing a little bit of everything and have a warehousing job.. also doing a little bit of everything.
I'm also in school to be a mechanical engineer. Only a few years in though.. so please don't think I'm a genius. I'm hoping to land a manager position at my warehousing job once I graduate/ get close to graduation.. then move onto orthopedics, heavy machinery or perhaps automotive. Something in manufacturing.

I'm busting my tail to retire early. The goal is to play the financially independent flag somewhere around 45 years old and enter "mentally retired" where I simply take work if/when I want to.
I'm looking forward to building a car in my garage. Either a Locost or, if I'm feeling less adventurous, whatever the equivalent of a Westfield (Lotus 7 replica) is when I get to that point.
Sorry for the off topic post, it's hard to not start dreaming with people talking about how much they're enjoying their retirement.

Electrical engineer for an electric utility, and I work part time at a Napa store on Sundays. I've been out of college and in the workforce for about 3 years now, and I already can't wait to retire. I mean, I like my job and all, but being on vacation every day for the rest of my life? Sign me up!

My neighbor has been retired for about five years now. He tells me all the time: "The fun thing about retirement is every day is Saturday. The bad thing about retirement is every day is Saturday."

Real estate development, rentals, and land speculation.
Right now, knock on wood I'm doing pretty good.
Eventually I'd like to slow down and go back to working on boats, thinking I'd like to sail on a square rigger for a bit, and get lost in the South Pacific for awhile.
My dream job would be international arms dealing.

I troubleshoot, repair, and upgrade Submarine towed systems, mast and antennas.
Commercial Lines Underwriter for a large P&C insurance carrier.
This is the shop I'm forced to work in (against my will, of course).
Engineer. I work for a smaller company that's a division of a larger company. Both good companies. We make industrial equipment for static electricity control, its an interesting business niche and it's been good over the years.
Started as a technician over 30 years ago. The company tuition program paid for most of my schooling to get my bachelors degree from an associate degree. A good way of earning a degree if it's available. I always respected the company for doing that.
Now I'm a Sr. Engineer. Lots of variety. That keeps it interesting. Designing, CAD work, preparing documents, Internet research, some work on the lab bench and helping folks out in production. Never a dull moment.

I count beans for a living. I don't mind the occasional jabs that I see in posts here, as I don't really think the same way as the stereotype would lead you to believe.
Wow, I'm glad there are so many engineers here. I'm a EE, and do what might be called computer engineering these days. I create design tools for the semiconductor industry.
