I fell into it due to nepotism. Mostly off my dead grandfather's reputation roughly three years later after said death. I am actually a 4th generation employee for this company family wise. My great great grandfather helped build it up with steel, bolts and ties and my great grandfather was a mechanical engineer. My grandfather ended up being an engineer and then I had to work my way up from the bottom of the latter for three years with feast or famine like hours before finally landing the current gig I've now had here for eight years. Just came up on ten years already for this company.

I wouldn't say it's my calling though. I enjoy the hours and the pay. It can be grueling at times mentally. We have a lot going on at the moment with new faces and new ideas but if my run ends here soon that may be all the excuse I need to take a chance elsewhere and pursue something I would actually enjoy doing day in and day out. Just depends on how it all plays out. It's really out of my hands and there's no sense in working myself up until that bridge is there before me and awaiting me to cross it.

Calling wise I have always enjoyed writing, sculpting, drawing, painting, music, fishing and gaming and the Jaguars. Maybe I can delve further into one or two of those fields and turn it into a form of living.
