Probably some of you guys have had more earned income in one really good year than I have had in my entire life. I seemed to treat earned income like toxic waste.
Not long ago I called the Social Security Administration to be sure I had a record, and would receive something when I want it. I had been getting the statements for*a while, but I wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth. She said, "You sure have a lot of 0 years." And indeed I do.

With a disclaimer like that, i'm not sure what to believe

May I recommend a "Bloody Mary", and stalk of celery for breakfast?
I started out in engineering (professor and researcher). But was eventually promoted to engineering director (spiritual leader of nerds and geeks). I like nerds and geeks, but being one was more fun than pretending to lead them.
Still scary that more than half of the people are in a technical field (tech/engineering). Probably a low satisfaction level and long hours combined with a high degree of boredom. At least that was my case.

Perhaps because I have been unmarried all my life, until several years ago, I greatly enjoyed my work.
For most of my career, I tried not to work too many long hours. Besides, what took some 4 hours to do, I did in 1 or 2. Although I did not always take advantage, I felt entitled to grab 1 or 2 hours of unofficial comp time.
