Blimey - I've simulated new airspace arrangements for NATS, managed various software teams, been involved with delivery of 3's first 3G phones pre-launch and worked for a niche management consultancy, then gave all that up to design gardens, and after the recession effectively killed that I've gone back to uni again.
So right now I'm back to being a student. No idea what comes next, but I'm enjoying it right now.

lift engineer by trade, now co own my own lift maintenance company and love it
I'm always amazed by how crap lifts are for reliablity, i mean it's not Willy Wonkers great glass frickin elevator. It's a tin box that go's up, then down, then up then down Why do they need maintenance, how tough can it be to make one of these things work properly?
I used to have my own bike shop which was the best job that i ever had. Moved to NZ for the kids 3 1/2 years ago and now work as a teacher of 'technology' which has much better hours with significantly less fun. Thou here we have a mortgage free 'big' house walking distance from the beach and only pay a quid a litre for petrol. Swings and roun-a-bouts i guess. Thou i really miss my old job.

Just demonostrating how unrelable these things are. At my old college that also taught 'special needs' kids they broke all the time. You can imagine what happands once you get 8 'mentally impared' kids stuck in a lift together! it sure puts up the overtime for their coucellors and cleaning staff, I can still here the groans and screams 16 years later. Not pretty, not pretty at all.
Like i say, how hard can it be to make this tin box go up, then down, then up then down - reliably, I mean really how hard can it be?

I'm still intrigued by this one. I don't remember ever seeing any purple lines on roads ever
I think it may have been "humour."

Property Underwriter. I look at multinational companies' physical assets (buildings machinery, stock) and ability to generate profits and work out how much money my company might want in exchange for paying for Damage and lost profits in the event of something going bang, woof, fssst, slosh, etc that isn't supposed to go bang, woof, fssst, slosh, etc.
valiant effort to make it sound interesting.....

Used to run the cleaning bay for a local garage (nissan), had been cleaning cars since was tiny and went 'pro' when got my licence and could travel to peoples houses, picked up a long term illness in '04 and not been able to work since so made the descision id do the stay at home dad thing and the wife would work, (sat here with 7 month old asleep on me as type and wife gone to get 4 1/2 year old from school)

Sell used plastics machinery. Worked in the retail side of the cycle trade for 10 years prior (since becoming a saturday boy at 14) but figured that I needed to do something that gave me proper money for things and would give me my weekends back, having said that, I've never really had them!
Always having conflicts about whether I was right to give up a job I loved for a job that paid really well, don't think I'm ever going to find an answer to that tbh, although the new job has given me a 20 mile, majority off-road commute by bike as opposed to a 5 minute walk down the road.
