I don't consider that a nice profession, it's very mentally stressful. I did it as as well as a safety and compliance officer for a large trucking company for a couple years prior to retirement. Lot of tense people, some telling the truth and some lying and it's up to you to deduce the truth and make a judgement call and someone is always unhappy. Did a few where fatalities were involved too. Tough playing devil's advocate at times.While doing accident investigations, the 1st thing I ask is, did you read the owners manual
Sure is nice to be retired and away from that stress. The compensation wasn't bad but the stress level at times wasn't commensurate with the pay. Spent an inordinate amount of time either driving or flying somewhere and lots of hotel / motel rooms and restaurant food.
