Not completely fantasy. There were several tech companies in what later became known as Silicon Valley back in the 1950s. Shockley Semiconductor in 1955. HP (to my surprise) started in 1939. My Mom said Dad frequently flew to that area back in the early 60s as part of his work for Honeywell working for NASA. But, a 67 year career is a bit of a stretch for anybody given you'd have to be actively working until your late 80s.
