I'd either just throw them into my back pocket with my screw drivers or into the coin pocket.

But I almost always have my tool pouch so I usually just put them in there.

Haha I moved from a cable monkey to a "normal" office IT position and I love impressing people by doing a full termination in like 30 seconds.

They're always like "how do you do that??", well I spent like 2 years doing almost nothing but that haha

See I disagree I think the yellow handled one's a much more comfortable to use. But yeah personal choice and all that

And your life isn't your job? When I think of my life I don't think about my job or income. I think of my friends, family, pets, good (and equally important, the bad) times, and all the other stuff that actually makes up your life.

If your definition of success is focused on your career you will never be satisfied.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. It doesn't sound like they settled at all. In fact it sounds like they took the struggle head on and put the work into get themselves into a better (at least mentally and maybe even financially, but that is less important) position
