I retired from the world's largest coal company, after working there my entire career. Started as a geologist two weeks after college graduation. Held positions in environmental and reclamation. When I retired after 30 years, I had been the corporate environmental manager for their western US and Australian mines.

Over the years I have noticed your willingness to help others. Thank you.

Default Job before retiring

As you can see most folks don’t talk about it or really care. We’ve reached that point that our “job” doesn’t define who we are. I think we find more connections asking where you are from as you might have some common history or experiences. I think another reason is you quickly find out how talented other villagers are. I spent 41 years in the financial industry and thought I was somewhat successful, but when I hear that the guy I’m playing golf with was a former pro baseball player, who later became a doctor, I kind of feel like a nudge. I think retired is the best career to have.

Could this be the famous PHI/BOS Sox pitcher Dr. Lonborg? Just curious...

I'm not quite retired yet, but I'm the most hated man in my town, I'm the local tax assessor! haha! Clint.

Jim Lonborg was a Dentist on the South Shore of MA. A friend of mine was his office manager. Great guy.

The only other MLB players I can think of, who became Doctors, would be Bobby Brown of the Yankees, who's dead and Mark Hamilton of the Cardinals, who's too young to be retired in TV.

I was a “know it all” for while, but that didn’t pay well.

I was a Professional Engineer. I managed the Engineering division of a Development Review Services department for a county government. My wife worked for the Tax Collector for the same county. We were much loved by our citizens...I permitted them and she taxed them!
