What industry do you work?

American manufacturing is nearly gone. Can we continue to grow and prosper on what we have left? The service industry seems to be the primary type left for us. What do you do and will you do this for the rest of your working life? Have we placed all our eggs in one basket and labeled it, Technology Development. Is this our new contribution to the world market?
Technology Development = New product development for others to manufacture usually out of the country.
Service Industry = Any job where you are providing a service for others such as truck driver, teacher, food service, etc.
Manufacturing = Factory type job where a product is manufactured.
Farming = Growing anything from seed or seedlings to animal products such as milk, meat, etc.

    I currently work for my college's Art History department.
    But if my dream of becoming a professional musician doesn't work out, I've looked into teaching.
