Airline pilot (international). I’m outta work due to COVID, so am doing a temporary job in IT (Cognos authoring) until flying comes back. Haven’t ever done anything to do with it before or data analytics etc!

If it's military and it's flying, I probably made a part/tool for it. Just four days ago we shipped out a bunch of F35 stuff out.

That sounds like a cool job
It's alright most of the time, it definitely keeps you mentally sharp, but like everything with deadlines it can get very stressful, and you can definitely be caught by surprise by a dimension that you somehow glazed right over.

But it's my career and I honestly wouldn't trade it for an office job or anything similar to that.

thank you for your service.

first real job i had was to become a machinist as soon as i got out of high school. went on to tool & die, then cnc and finally mold maker.
was the foreman or shop supervisor at 3 of the 4 shops i worked at. i was in the industry for over 21 years.

one of the companies i worked for was a military sub-contractor. got to make all kinds of cool parts for planes, submarines or r&d stuff.
great career to be in. people do not realize how intricate and precise things have to be. it would blow minds...
