Kip Turner has spent 50 years with AT&T and says the secret to being happy at work is learning to be content.

Kip Turner, 68, joined AT&T shortly after high school and has been with the company his entire 50-year career.Kip Turner wasn't necessarily planning on joining AT&T for his entire 50-year career when he applied there in 1973 — but that's what's happened, and he's learned a lot about engineering and career longevity along the way.when he was 18 years old, without a college degree, and with the idea he'd return to college to become a veterinarian.

"I think it's possible," Turner tells CNBC Make It. "I think it's realistic — if that's what you want to do." "I have always told my supervisors leave me alone," he says. "Let me learn the job. If I want to change I'll let you know. Whether it's a different job, a lateral time move, or a promotion." Turner says it's important to realize that you may not get a job or promotion because you're not ready for it, and if you really want it, to use your time to learn the skills you'll need to excel.

"I've been able, with a few exceptions, to make it on the salary that I've been paid all these years," he adds. "There have been a few times early on where we had $10 left on Monday after payday, but that hasn't happened very often."
