Only partly serious. I'm just getting sick of this industry currently and would love a 9-5 job. Construction probably isn't even that field and I bet lots of construction gigs require long hours.
Accounting is even worse from an hours perspective.

I was a field guy for a bit. I worked Monday to Fridays 12 hours a day. Saturdays 8 hours during construction season. That was for co-op during school.

Once I graduated I got a job in the estimating department for a company for oil and gas. That shit was really boring to me. Monday to Friday 7:30 - 4:30. But had to work late or sometimes weekends to get stuff done. Pay was decent.

Now I am at another job doing civil infrastructure work (mainly what I went to school for). Monday to Friday 8 - 4:30. Every other Monday off.

Before doing all of this I was a Travel Agent lol.

Eventually I want my own business. Or my own side business and stay at my current job

High-five!

I manage the IT infrastructure team for a national automotive lender / dealer (As a managing engineer).

About 4k users, probably a dozen businesses.

We are a reference customer for VMWare, EMC, and Cisco because we leverage things like Nexus OTV for layer 2 spanning and VPLEX for our block-storage virtualization / abstraction. This allows us to move any VM between datacenters with no interruption. We literally leave DRS in fully automated mode and let our VMs water-level between the geographic locations. Did I mention that we are 99% virtualized? DR is a thing of the past. It's the greatest.

I've got 15 years experience, a VCP5, MCITP:Enterprise Admin, MCITP: Messaging Admin, even my CCNA, but... no college degree!

I'm 37, and yeah I'd flip burgers for a living if it paid the bills.
