Professional licensed mechanical engineer and retired US Army Corps of Engineers officer.
Currently, engineer technician contractor and construction manager for Department of Defense, so I can enjoy life, including pinball.
Senior engineer management positions absorb the life out of you over time, and you are 100% on call, all the time, including weekends.
Less income, but better hours, reduced stress, and no more combat deployments.
The money simply is not worth it, nor the risk.
Yes, you can find me on LinkedIn.
