It's really not glamourous, mostly it's just lots of hard work with long hours and crap pay.

Isn't it always the way, something appears to be glamorous but the reality is often the complete opposite. I spent a short time working at a TV station. Not glamorous at all. A bit strange when you were sitting having a coffee surrounded by all these celebrities...

Used to be a kipper pickler up in Shetland.

Part of the job was to stick the eyes in the kippers after they fell out in the pickling vat. Had to stand there with a big box of loose kipper eyes..........Great job

Does anyone have a job that looks glamorous and actually is?

A mate of my sister's had a job assessing hotels and resorts for holiday companies. A bit like a mystery guest except he wasn't mystery - they knew who he was and laid on the full red carpet works everywhere he went. It's true... I think they only let you do it for 6 months though at which point he quit.

Re samuri - I worked at a place once where not too long before, the security guard had arrived at 7am to find some blokes loading computers from the office into a van. So he helped them. They were burglars, too the entire office. Amazingly, the guard still worked there afterwards!
