I've been a lender in Commercial Real Estate and Homebuilder Finance within the banking industry for almost 20 years. It has been a great career and I can't imagine doing anything else.

Cop for 28 1/2 years with one of the largest departments in the country. It’s been great but wouldn’t encourage anyone to do it. I would look at sales other than real estate since that wasn’t your calling. I think sales would allow you to make your own hours. Good luck with your choice.

I have been in Aviation since I was 14 (32 now)...Went to the Air Force straight out of HS at 17 and did Air Traffic Control for 6 years. Since then I have worked at six different airports (operations at IAH) and did international flight planning for a few years...Now I run the day to day operations at San Antonio International to include emergency response to any incident.

Career, had a few.

After Grad HS (1982), worked at a business outside Hot Springs as a welders helper, business was sewage pump stations, I was a ****-herder, I was called "dirtball".

Next was Air National Guard, 1983 to 2004. I was full time until 1999 when I took a managerial/technical position with a large telecom company. I stayed in the Guard until 2004 at which I retired. I stayed with the Telecom company until retirement in 2020.

I'm currently working at a local sales/service shop, but working too many hours plus drive. It's starting to wear on me, and wife is on my ars.

I wouldn't change a thing, except I always got wrapped up in the position. In the guard- I always volunteered for everything, I was gone more than at home. With the telecom company as a manager, my weeks were averaging 50-60 hours, juggling multiple customers (pay was good).

If I can impart some wisdom, and I wish I had know earlier, deposit all you can into your 401K- even more than the match. It grows exponentially. Find a investment specialist to assist. I have two 401Ks, a military retirement that kicks in at 60, an rolled over pension to IRA about that same time, and SS at 62 or so. Make plans for your future.

On point and very sounds advIce.

Not everyone needs to go to college and it is ok not to.

Agreed 1000%. Best decision I made was not going to college after HS. I didn't really know what i wanted to do anyway...and now i have a paid for masters thanks to my military service and a career i love.
