I don’t think it’s my profession per say , it’s not like everyone in my profession has my advantages

Many folk might not even consider these advantageous but for what they enable for me I beleive they are.

I am trusted , my access with security & information is god-like so I’m already elevated to a position of authority and trust.

I am respected. Because of my far reaching responsibilities key involvement that happens in at least 90% of what does on within the companies I look after I have specific and unique onsite.

My work is varied but all within the confines of information , technology and security. Given thy those are constantly changing and developing my profession is far from dull. Keeping up is the challenge !

There are religious advantages to being self employed, one is you do not have to lie or cheat people to keep your job. That is why I could not go to law school at U of T. I could not apply, since I might have to lie to keep my job.

Typically, these might include personal growth through continuous learning, the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, financial stability, and a sense of achievement.

I'm on my 4th career and the one consistent thing has been autonomy. Never a 9 to 5 thing. I could always come and go as I pleased. Pretty much self directed. No boring routine. Always project based. And I've always been involved in interesting / challenging / unique stuff.

AviatorTom · Answer

As a systems engineer in both power systems and railways, where I've spent my entire career, I'm able to build new things that help people. Rail transit systems that I've helped build over the years, for example, safely and efficiently transport more than 40 million people to/from work/school/shopping each day in various cities around the world.

Engineering is both challenging and rewarding.

AI/EMR has made my job far easier. I honestly don't think I'd do it without EMR (at the least). The key advantage I see is that AI cannot and never will replace us. We are also always in demand. So, while we may not find a job, there are always openings somewhere.

Sometimes we get to save lives, people drop off treats at the station, little kids are in awe when they come to the station to look at the equipment, you get to break stuff (only when necessary) Sometimes it helps to get dates, you get to look cool with your sun glasses on driving the truck, you get to park in the fire lane, great food...
