MirageAfter 17 years of college and working full time I got a masters degree in civil engineering - worked in architecture and engineering during that time and for about 6 years after graduating. For the next 12 years I converted a hobby into a career and worked in software development - best job ever!, but it came to an end at about the same time that I was getting burnt-out so it kind of worked out ok. The last 5 years I have been working in insurance actuarial. Yes, it is as boring as it sounds but it's easy and the pay is very good. I have 4 yrs to retirement so I can stick it out no problem. Lately, I have been buying up machine tools and watching youtube videos on how to run metal lathes, milling machines, etc. I built a shop attached to my house and have developed a few products to sell on ebay. My hobby now is antique motorcycles, not the real old ones, the ones from my youth. I make parts for them that are obsolete, no longer produced. Always looking for new tools to buy and new products to make.
