Own and operate a small HVAC Test & Balance/Commissioning firm. Still a ways off from retirement, looking forward to it daily because the industry is getting worse by the day. No craftsmen in the trades these days that really enjoy and hone their craft. It's all about get it done, get paid and move on down the road.
I own a Home Reno company and for fun, build custom home theater subwoofers. I have been building/testing subwoofers for over 20 years from piles of different manufacturers.
Home Theater is what Iove! but its very Niche here. The reno company does well enough that I can play with my toys whenever I want to lol.

I'm a union steel worker, 22 years so far. No, I'm not the guy that climbs the steel and walks the beams, those are iron workers. We actually make the steel. I'm not directly involved in the production aspect anymore, haven't been since 2008. I'm an electrical maintenance technician now. We do everything from fixing the machinery that makes and processes the steel to just change lightbulbs. And we deal with as little as 4-20 mV instrumentation circuits to 11,500 volt transformers. I make a good buck doing what I do. I won't say exactly how much, but it is low six figures.
Back in the late eighties/early nineties I was a machinist mate in the U S Navy on board the USS Barbey FF-1088. We were actually in the Persian Gulf the day that A-hole invaded Kuwait, August 2nd, 1990. I'll remember that day for the rest of my life.
