I have worked full time from ages 16-27 and havent had a decent paying job which lasted more then 2 yrs. Either the companies laid off or closed. Either way dont get into the printing business it's still being down sized from the internet and the computer. Back at school now, going into construction management, at least they cant outsource it.

Been with my current employer for 14 years and in my field for 18. I've moved up the ladder pretty quickly. A lot of job security and I'm paid pretty well. I would like to do something different in a second career after I retire from this one in about 10-12 years.

8 years. Never a dull moment at my job, I've had 6 different bosses, moved laterally, vertically and seen the world. (Japanese company)
I'll stick around as long as they keep sending pay checks home... They pay well and we're always on the trail of innovation.

5 years previous in a welding shop. 2 years with my current employer. It took 2 years of applying and interviews to get my foot in the door, great company, great benefits, so much advancement potential. I'm not leaving until I retire. Lol

Would be 5 yrs this coming April if I was staying, working for my father in law doing historical restoration and building/construction. It was supposed to be a temp help on a big job we did. Ended up getting comfortable and staying, learning the ropes of the construction business. Recently got my own contractors license and will be leaving to start my own company very soon.
