What is the longest amount of time you have worked at one job-trade?

I’ve been in the HVAC business for 21 years. Next month will be 18 years that I’ve had my own HVAC company. I’ve tried working for other HVAC companies here and there over the years, and I’m here to tell you that every company I’ve run into except one does a half-a$$ job! I want no part of that! I’d rather just give it up all together instead of half-a$$ing!

It was the last place I wanted to work when I got out of school.

This year is the 30th year as an electrical Engineer for me. As well as the 28 years as a Professional hunter in South Africa.
I would have plus or minus 6 more years in Engineering but I took a leave of Engineering for some time to go to South Africa to school.

Retired after 31 years working for Royal Dutch Shell with two summer internships while in college. I had a dozen or so different positions though.

Hanco: Did a 29 year stint as a LEO in a first class city then retired and did 18 years for a private firm doing part-time body-guard and robbery suppression work.
Time went by quickly as both jobs were not routine work.
Double retirements now!

45 years in a machine shop. 38 of those at that last one. I still can go back when wife's health allows, and they need me; so far they still call with questions.
