I retired almost two years ago after managing the building of production lines that make cars. I liked the work, but would have liked to pursue something different. Good luck with staying away from the corporate drudgery.

thanks for the feedback @chuck2u32. Would appreciate some of your ideas on what you would have done differently.
I'm not sure I have the courage to have done anything differently. I really don't have a passion for anything except cooking and wine making. I would have liked to have started a microbrewery. Money was a factor. Project management was a good living which I was was also passionate about. I even wrote a seminar "Project Management Techniques for Engineers" back in the 90's and presented it to the Society of Manufacturing Engineers in a couple of regions. It takes courage to leave what you know and start a new career. Maybe I'm more disappointed that I really just played it safe.
