Then I wanted to move on because I get bored when there's no more challenge. So I changed jobs in the same field. Within a few years I topped out opportunity for advancement in that arena, so I decided to try something different.
I started building powerhouses and I loved that, but it kept me away from home a lot. The pay was insane, but so was my ex-wife. That made it love-hate.
When I started doing that I had already run out of room for advancement, then I was involved in a work accident and that was that. My health had been failing for a long time, so it was time to be done anyways.
Now I'm retired and I putter. I love what I do even more. I've truly been blessed all throughout the years.
I admire your courage to keep on advancing. I think most people would be content to stay where they are.

Retirement seems awesome! It sounds like the best "job"
