I’m curious to see the types of jobs and work fields that us audhders thrive in since a lot of jobs usually just end up burning us out.

Anyone found a way to make a steady income and not hate the job?

    I do CNC machining. A trade job but I really enjoy it. All things considered my workplace is pretty good. I’ve been enamored with the big ol machines since I first saw em.

    I make enough to live for now and the daily stresses rarely come home with me. OT can be an option sometimes too. A perk is the ability to socialize at my desired amount

      I build electrical panels but walk past the machine shop every morning and love seeing all the machines that you get to work with. The water jet is my favorite. Also, the press. So f’ing cool.

        I haven’t worked with water jet cutting myself but I feel it would be awesome to do! The closest I’ve come would be a wet abrasive blast that I sometimes do at my current job.

        But yeah, I love controlling these huge machines and cutting metal. It’s just got a sense of creating something behind it that I really enjoy. A physical product I can see and touch that I made.
