What I did for a living:
I am retired now, after 45 years as an ironworker. I've been out of the field for the last 30, but I still love to be high on a building top or bridge tower.
I have worked all across the country and met a great many people along the way. The last 30 years I worked with quite a few general Contractors, engineers and architects. I knew what I was to do by the time I was 6. (My grandfather, who raised me after my father was killed in the air force). He had a full american bridge belt hanging in the garage waiting for me. I started working iron in the summers when I was 15 and finished school and wore my belt full time until I went into the navy as a Sea bee, where I did the same job in Viet Nam in 67-68.
