What do you wake up for every morning?

Re: What do you wake up for every morning?

I'm 22, I started working part-time a month before I turned 14. Worked as a cleaner in a bike shop, then moved into sales, selling bikes, then went to work a multi-sport store selling/wrenching on skis and bikes. Then sold camping gear for a while, just to end back at a bike shop again.

Then I graduated high school and went to Edmonton, took Engineering up there for the first year, then went into business, then went to history. I worked when I could at a fabrication shop that built stuff for the oil patch. Did everything from help rebuild compressors, to tack up pipe, to pull and terminate wire. Built some control panels, learned to write basic code for PLC's.

Then I said **** that, and decided I wanted to spend a year skiing. Went and worked at a ski hill, tuning skis (loved every minute of it)

Came back from that and went back to Edmonton to the fab shop, but in an office role, ran their service department for a bit, then moved into a production planning role, this fall I decided that I hated being in an office. Packed my **** up, and moved back to Calgary and now I work at the same bike shop I worked at when I was a kid. Loving every minute of it. Goal is to move deeper into the bike industry. If it all fails, I want to snag a trade, millwright seems right up my alley.

Re: What do you wake up for every morning?

I'm a project manager for oil and gas construction in the patch. I spend a lot of time away from home and the job can be incredibly stressful, but all and all I love it. I went to university for engineering and when I finished that I took business. I worked in engineering design for about five years before moving to the business side. I am very happy where I am right now in life, but I'm not one for kids and all that. I worked hard to get through everything in my 20s and built a career, but it is all about what you want. I gave up my 20s for school and career, but now the plans are in place to really enjoy my 30s.

My advice is go to school for something you enjoy and do something that interests you. I love engineering and business, but I'm a huge nerd like that.
