    Are you trying to imply that any thread on this forum has a point? Because even if the OP has a point, all threads eventually take the scenic road.

    I just didn't want to intrude or get in the way of him finding employment happiness.

    I love my company. We only have a couple open positions right now, but periodically come up with others. Our main office is in Niwot near Boulder. https://wiland.com/career-center/

    I remember a thread about round penetration through wall material morphing into a challenge of sorts to suffer European techno music....

    It can be both. Not really a structured conversation per sey so much as a general conversation. I'm trying to both get a feel for what others do that love their job (hell, you can even rant here about why you hate your job and what it is to re-affirm what we don't want to do and make yourself feel better to get it out if you want) as well as any potential opportunities. At this point I've been eyeing firefighter for a while now and I keep coming back to that as a marketed departure from what I've done tot his point which may be what I've been looking for. I'm still not 100% committed to anything though and super curious about what everyone does to afford living. I've definitely always been a work to live v live to work type person so I'm not looking to find something that makes me $250k a year but requires 90hrs a week of my time. I want to find something I can work a reasonable amount doing something I enjoy to make a reasonable amount and have my time be my time. I guess that's the idea behind this impromptu thread to just open a dialog with what everyone is doing to see if maybe there's something I haven't yet thought of that I might have some experiences that would apply.

    That's the joy in life... the journey is never what you expected but almost always enjoyable. lol

    No intrusion at all. Hoping more people can contribute or maybe even benefit from an open & free-flowing dialog about enjoyable employment.

    I'm contractually obligated to mention it at least once in every conversation so I was glad he brought it up so I could work it in w/o things getting awkward. lol

    Since you have many quals, why not do what other members here have done. Start your own business. If you're that good, with how short qualified contractors, consultants, IT and home security people are. You should be in the black by 2nd quarter.
    Every person we know who went out on their own are going full tilt.
    Being self employed while hard at first, seems to be a good way for those "seeking a company that's passionate" perfect for you. You sound good on paper, go out and show CO how good you are at what yo do.

    Perhaps find a non-profit organization that aligns with your interests. Sounds like you have potential for something like Development Director or Marketing Director. The pay may not be the greatest but the people you work with tend to be folks you like.
