I have a desk job, but I told them I'd rather just work half time just because of how mind numbing it is.

I'll probably die there.

Why can't make Americans talk about their jobs without making up a story like "oh I work as a nurse, but I'm saving up to start my own business!" Like... they can't proudly talk about their job unless they own a business.

As opposed to manual labor? I'll take this.

Hate it. Feels like I'm stuck doing the same repetitive tasks with no possibility of advancing unless my boss dies.

65? I don't think so, I'll be eligible to retire with full benefits when I turn 50. I'll most likely stay a few years longer though, gotta build that TSP as much as possible.

This^

I'm just about to leave a job as a sign installer where I'm out on the road 4 days a week working 10-12hrs a day in a bucket truck in the brutal sun. Doesn't help that I'm pale and burn easily... but being around the diesel fumes, eating shitty fast food all the time, and the unpredictability of the schedule (start each day at 7am and sometimes don't get home until 11pm that night) wear thin quickly.

Starting a regular 9-5 afterwards and very much looking forward to it.

I actually work longer hours than 9-5 but I actually don't mind my job. It's changed over the years and whilst it's still a desk job, I spend most of my time talking to clients, working with my teams, being out in the market at industry events, etc... so the role is always interesting/challenging. Also helps that I've had decent career progression and salary increments over the years, and I'll probably stay there for life even though I've had some tempting offers from headhunters.

ps. I work in consulting.
