How far are we going back?

Mowed yards for money as a kid, hauled hay too. In high school I worked odd tasks for local farmers, prepped jeans for dry cleaning at a dry cleaner (contract with Big Smith), sacked groceries and worked at a chicken processing plant in the summer.

Out of high school I worked a couple of stretches at the chicken processing plant, between those stretches I served a short stint in the Army. (got hurt, medical discharge)

Left the chicken plant and went to work as a material handler in a factory, worked my way up to machinist.

When that facility closed, I started learning the electrical trade and have been doing that for over 12 years. Been a licensed journeyman for 6 or 7 years now.

I'll keep my electrical license up to date, but I'm thinking it might be time for a career change again.
