I have two cool jobs.....

The #1 cool job is being Grandpa.

The #2 cool job is retirement.

My final job just before retirement was "cool" I suppose. Perhaps a challenge would be a better descriptor. I managed the construction of 12 modules that went anywhere from 1,500 to 6,000 tonnes to be lifted onto a "ship" and, once connected, to become the first floating LNG plant. This in Samsung's shipyard in Korea. Once complete it will be located well offshore western Australia. A great end to a great career.

Here's 5,500 tonnes on the hook with yours truly in the middle.

I've had a great run, but the best job required me to go to school to the 25th grade. Were I looking for a career today I know I would be fired up about being a micro distiller, a timber framer or a heater mason.

Look deep inside yourself and don't blink. Remember folks get paid well to do the things others can't and/or won't.
