What do you do for a living?

I Spent last 21 years of my career combined all my experience from previous positions put together as a package,
changed the industry, then retired

I am a CPA/accountant and do tax and accounting work. Analytical skills, attention to detail, and being a perfectionist have generally served me well in this career. There are some accounting jobs that require significant interaction with other people. I like to work with others to a limit - some accounting jobs that involve extensive people skills do not fit me well. I enjoy the technical challenges of my job. I have not enjoyed periods of being overworked at times.
 
I don't do anything.

I have no job and have never worked a day in my life because I ended up in a lucky position where I don't need one because I live with family + have income from a trust.

It's pretty alright tbh, means I have lots of free time to pursue my hobbies (I say as I really just waste my time online and watch TV and read books and stuff)
 
I'm a steelworker! I run a machine in a fabricators shop. Also know how to drive heavy trucks as a backup plan.

I'm not intending to do this forever, would like to have my college education finished and get some good quality job somewhere that would be nice. But the problem is that autistic people in the deep south are probably less likely to get a high paying job (and also, trouble finding jobs if you're trans, which I am even though I still live as a guy, being relatively early on in the process.)
