So, finding the right job.

I didn't really like what I was doing, and had started before even getting out of high school, but it paid off.

The early years of composites wasn't fun, but for the last 25 years I've worked from home and on my own schedule.

At times my territory has been just the northwest, and at other times its been global.

I can pretty much travel anywhere in my territory at any time I want without needing an approval.

Everything is paid for and I have a company car.

And for the most part, I really enjoy it, and have no plans of retiring anytime soon.

The problem is there are only a dozen or so jobs just like mine globally, so if you get canned, you may not get another one.

I was able to back out of the global travel last year before the current travel restrictions. I got tired of being gone for a few weeks, then exhausted for days after returning.

I always tried to know more than anyone else, and always make your boss look good.

Plus, find the job that pays the most, with the least amount of responsibilities. Anybody can collect responsibilities in the workplace and not get paid for it.

This requires a certain amount of under performing on purpose to not be promoted to a position with more responsibilities and headaches.
