I am looking at going at 55. So in another 1-1/2 yrs. Enjoy my work but the way they manage things now I dont enjoy. Being a industrial millwright with my major in pumps and rotating equipment made my job very rewarding but now its how can we cut costs and just keep things running. Its all about the share holders making money and cut cut cut at the employee level.
I repaired control valves for around 20 years. I got tired of the bull in the field with people that did not want to do their job so that was the end of my industrial electronic instrumentation.
