Re: Manager or Working Joe which is better?

My professional career has seen me go from engineer, to senior engineer, to R&D engineer. Then I jumped out and took a chance at engineered equipment sales as outside sales engineer/account manager. Did that for about 11 years and am now director of our services division. Sometimes dealing with upset customers as easier. It's amazing to me even in the professional arena how many want to do as little as possible, don't seem to remember how to do things correctly, and in general just don't listen.

However, I am hoping to do this another 7-10 years and someone else can have it. The company I work for became employee owned a few years ago and my company stock value has grown 10x in the past three years. Between that, IRA, and 401K I should be able to make it. I will not live lavishly, but comfortably is all I am looking for.
