No client facing roles yet so I don't think I would have met Tate. But that is a pretty cool role Tate had! I've since worked my way up so maybe I'll get the pleasure of interacting with him if he's got vendors doing VFX for his films! Also Godzilla was fun to work on, I hope you had fun on it too Tate! I still have my Gojira bracelet they gifted the VFX crew haha.

Trazan 131 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I've been working since the day after finishing Gymnasium(~High School). I started making toilets and sinks in porcelain, Moved on to making underwater high voltage cabels for ~10 years. Met a Lady with a kid and when it was time to join homes my cabin was to small for all of us so had to move a bit. Started installing/digging fiber optic cables for broadband and started to learn that trade. Then was at a customers house setting up his fiber optic-connections and he told me a about a job at a heating plant he was retiring from, Said the pay was good(ALOT ALOT ALOT better then what i was making at the time), the work could be hard and the hours long sometimes during the winter but most of the time it's easy going, especially during the summer when nobody wants heat in their homes. So i jumped through the hoops and got that job. TLDR: So long story short; now i work/train as a district heating technician. burning stuff for the big boilers.

Ozzy Batty 293 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) So I guess this is the place to show my age, haha. After high school I spent 9 years in the USAF as a firefighter. I spent 7 of them living in Europe. Due to injuries I couldnt be a firefighter after I left the military. So I moved into law enforcement where I was the Assistant Jail Administrator for a facility with 400 inmates. I did that for 4 years, then decided I had enough of working for the government and joined corporate America as a Training Supervisor for a company that processed credit card transactions. That company was bought out and I moved from Nashville to NC where I currently live. I switched careers again and became a high school history teacher which I retired from in Dec 2021. I wasnt ready to call it a career yet so I looked around and now work as a Learning Experience Designer for a company that uses Salesforce. Yea, I never heard of Salesforce either until I got this job...now it seems everywhere. Hahaha, so if you count my jobs as a teenager...been working for over 45 years. I plan on 6 more years, max. Then going to join my wife in that happy world of 100% retirement.

Admin Victor 10,946 Posted August 28 Admin Share Posted August 28 Pleased to see several fellow accountants, there's clearly some crossover between that and sim leagues. I am just an accountant now, having spent 8 years and the bulk of my drinking days as an auditor.
