What Do You Do?
that's pretty cool. A friend after spending 12 years in the Army now works as a contractor for the last 6 years in Savannah at Hunter Field with the 224th Aviation Battalion.
My dad has been in the rail industry for quite a while now. I think 3 more years until retirement for him.

Retired general contractor. Here in Ca i pay over the winter for golf. Summers in Mn i part time on a crew mowing and such so i get free golf there.
I try to reign in PhD Engineers, Physicists and Chemists to design "targets" that get shot by the world's most powerful laser system (The National Ignition Facility).
They are the brains, but I have to figure out how to make their dreams actually come to fruition (I am a mechanical designer) and get it documented.
National Ignition Facility & Photon Science
The National Ignition Facility (NIF) achieved fusion ignition on December 5, 2022, a breakthrough explained in the report "The Age of Ignition," outlining its impact on science, energy, and national security.lasers.llnl.gov
That's a really cool job.
I am a massive nerd....And work in engineering despite being a nothing marketing grad. (i self taught myself electrical engineering on my lunch breaks over 6-7 years reading textbooks and app notes)
So i am always a bit envious of guys that really do this work instead of just theoretically talking about it, which is mostly what i do
I lead an organization for a large HCM company that manages, operationalizes, and architects data platforms and data solutions ( on prem and in the cloud ) for all of the various business units, including supporting AI, Data Science, and Data analytics workloads. This includes traditional database technologies, data and event streaming technolgoies, as well as cloud based AI and data analytics platforms. I'm also the head Data Architect for the business partnering with my peer in the Enterprise Architecture to set the direction on adoption strategies and directional architectures.
Cliff notes: I do data stuff for a big company with lots of data.

"When i got into this business i thought painting houses was for contractors, construction types.....back then, what did i know"
"Put people to sleep" like what an anesthesiologist does or like a vet does for animals?

My cousin is a nurse (at least this is how I remember her explaining it) for this and her day was what you are, but retired now.
It’s a good gig for sure
I've seen quite a bit of this. Not glamorous. My kids used to tell their friends I worked in the sewer.
