Hello
I am an "old school Mechanical Designer" with (gasp) 35 years of uninterrupted work history developing and creating products in a variety of industries.
yet after helping develop all these technologies I am near the end with essentially nothing
Currently im busting a$$ working two different stints in Clean energy and forest industry as a "consultant" working harder for a lot less I made in 1995! this includes performing my tasks like a 25 year old with a rabid sense of urgency to get the stuff done!
As i slowly wake up from the fog of change and getting past all the "new realities" I have come to realize "wholy shxxt" what a mess
after eagerly gobbling up "unscripted ' the more I read the more I felt like the ultimate "fxxktard" all I can say is "wholy crap batman" where did the life go!
So at this point "stop the whining" has hit me and "time to move on" has risen to the top..So Im telling myself 'look around" and what do I see...yup..."unscripted " hit the nail on the head perfectly.
I am seeing other "post war baby boomers" wake from the fog too and realize that the world changed while we were stuck in the paradigm of 1995 you know when we had a salary,, plus bonus, plus car allowance plus rrsp matching plus 100 percent medical dental....!
So I am calling all old school Techies and seeing how they are seeing the world and thinking about the next steps to the future?...like "micro manufacturing" or anything else that their experience and gut feel is for a viable future!
because for me it isn't retiring with the pension plan...nope...its an all out effort to "nail" the next thing .......anybody got any great ideas!
Anyway hope I am not coming off to "ranty" just splashing cold water on my face and red pilling as much as possible to a 'new school way of thinking"
So lets "new school the situation and get on with it - because I just ran our of time...
Thanks for listening
