I spent the last eight years as an electrician for a local company that also had plumbing, excavating, welding, fab, and machinery moving. A couple months ago I took a maintenance job for a local company that processes coils of metal. There I do a lot of the same things I did at my old job. I am very happy with the switch so far.
My company processes metal for Ford, GM, Tesla, GE, Whirlpool, and various others.

Union Ironworker for 30+ years. I work for a bridge building contractor. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting up with several TOOzers on different occasions for a beer when I am in town.
Kinda nice to work outside and most jobs run from a couple days to weeks or even months. So I am never in one place TOO long.

I have had many hats over the years lol.
Currently I am a Natural Resource Tech working at the small 181 acre local State park. Being the only person in maintenance at the park keeps me pretty busy for sure. Never been one that liked being cooped up inside all day so this fits me pretty well as I spend my entire day outside doing stuff around the park.

That job sounds refreshing. I would't mind it at all.
Semi retired - work at the Alliance pepper factory part time picking fly shit out of the pepper
For the last year, just another body on the dishwasher assembly line at Whirlpool. First factory job for me. Honestly, I like my job, as it's easy work for decent money. But damn, I hate 2nd shift. Looking like another 8-12 months til I get a crack at 1st
Been on second shift for 4 years straight now, I'm ready to get the hell off of it.

Just a lowly Chemical Operator here. Work 12 hour rotating shifts but darn good money for a dummy like me.
They have 3 open positions that includes 1 at the park I'm in. The positions they have open are less pay then my spot and nobody wants to do the work at that pay rate or work the 39hrs a week. They either want more money or they only want to work 2.5 days a week. They have hired 2 people for the spot at my park and one guy decided at the last minute he didn't want to work for whatever reason. The other only wanted to work 2.5 days a week. Now we are back to square one looking for another person to fill it. By the time they get somebody the job window from April-October 31st will be over lol.
I will agree it is refreshing being outside all day. Not only do I see some interesting things at work I get to talk to some interesting people in the park as well.
Construction tech for the metroparks! Have been on some pretty cool projects. Finished up this cabin that's on Grainger island in Waterville couple weeks ago. Penta county carpentry class was involved on this one.View attachment 61665
