Default Re: What was your profession prior to retirement? This is really interesting.

So many interesting careers from everyone. Mine is kind of dull by comparison, but have done a few interesting things.

Started out as a master electrician and paid my way through college doing that type work, went in the Airforce and was a pilot, took an early out at the end of the Vietnam war. Of course there were 20,000 other pilots getting out so commercial work was tough to find. I worked PT for IBM before college so went there and spent 30 years, (IBM stands for I've Been Moved) retired, got bored, went to CSC where I managed there data centers scattered all over the world. So my passport has run out of pages after the 3rd set of added pages, so it must be time to retire. In a year or two maybe. I robbed the cradle when I married Mrs l2 so she still wants to work a while longer.
