"VM, you could work here anytime "
Thanks Mr Harsey, but I've already got a really cool job that I love, and to me, job satisfaction is more important than money. Like you, I get paid to design, build, and integrate specialized equipment that is used by specialized people in interesting places. Most of what I build are one-of-a-kind, made to order, quick-reaction systems, and I do most of the fabrication myself. I am fortunate enough to work almost exclusively with Army SF and their MI guys. I also provide on-site support, no matter where the site, so occasionally I end up in some interesting situations. Most importantly, I can still serve my country and support the Soldiers, even though I'm now a civilian.
