What day job do you have that occupies your time and reduces your time on here?
Why do you want to know that?
Curiosity, I like to know where older aspies end up.
It's cyclic for me Hadron.
You mean you want to know where I end up, or aspies older than yourself? I suspect you work in something involving national security, given your other posts.
Sorry, I don't understand that first sentence you have written.
I've posted in this thread earlier what I do generally, however not specifically. I consulted on many different projects in different industries.
But, I've also been a cleaner or not been able to work at all and had to live off what I have managed to save when I have been able to get work. That's why I said it's cyclic.
Oh right, I thought you were talking about my whys and wherefores with the cyclic part, ignore it. Whats you area of expertise anyway?
I can mop up a mean polished floor
Having one area of expertise is sort of not the current career trend like it used to be. I've known people who've gone from being a doctor to being a computer programmer. It's the joy of having lived a long time!
I thought people were getting more specialised, as opposed to less? Anyways, what do you actually consult on?
Can you give me an example of your point?
You like Mathematics don't you?

I don't have time to find any stats this morning, although it's easy to find sites that back up what I am saying. Over a 40 year working lifetime until retirement, people are changing their careers up to several times. Not changing jobs, changing careers.
