Default Day job

Retired at 52. My day job for the last two years has been building my 7a but I do work part time in the summer driving a shuttle in Rocky Mountain National Park.

My career job was Telecom Manager. I managed a very large school district network with 120 telephone systems. I also managed the data centers. After 911, the main data center had a biometric access denial system installed. I actually retired as a Technology Project Manager. It was fun.

THAT's the kind of job I want in retirement! (hopefully before turning 60...)

I work from home as a software engineer / problem solver during the week. Saturday and Sunday are committed to A&P work (my previous career) on other airplanes, building my 7A or flying my 1966 Cherokee 140 (until the 7 is done).

Oh no! I've already told all my friends you are a real pilot not a button pusher and a sky manager.
