[Closed] Whats your occupation?

Work offshore doing inspections and rope access.

Keeps me busy and in toys 😀

I'm currently a shipwright in the British army but I start my new job soon as a horological engineer. Both are cool and unusual jobs!!

Sales and marketing consultant, (yawn) but I also work freelance doing sales and marketing for an adult toy company, so that keeps things interesting.

A hackneyed term, but perfectly descriptive for some of my workmates: grease monkey.

Hgv driver. Get to see the country if nothing else. Used to be in admin but couldn't stand the politics and bullsh!t. I can drive around stress free for the same money and less back stabbing.

I teech English.

I'm a PA/secretary, completely organised, bossy and like knowing secrets that I don't have to tell anyone so it's perfect for me 🙂

Ron-how on earth do you get into doing that then!! Can't imagine a bloke being much cop running one of the Anne summers soirees

Professional arse wiper - itu nurse (not skinny but not fat :D), but looking to change into i dont know what yet.

I'm a session guitarist,doing stage and studio work for numerous singer/songwriters who need a band to play live or record,I don't do adverts,jingles or theme tunes and I love it.

Graphic designer, wouldn't have it any other way, love it 😀 and am freelance, which is even better

Planning & Analysis Manager ACMA

i run an adventure travel website. we only work with locally owned and independent operators and have a strong focus on sustainability. currently growing by 25-30% month on month with no marketing budget, so must be doing something right!

I'm a Flâneur

Love reading what everyone does! I'm a family support worker - I work with children and young people who are in foster care - support/mentoring/positive role model.

Just qualified to teach a specific method of behaviour support - and tomorrow start my first week of training colleagues in it, all day, Mon - Fri, and delegates have three exams at the end 😯

I'm not really quite sure what I do, something to do with websites & marketing.

Still get paid lots so can't grumble

This video is very near the mark..

I work as a researcher in a lab with very big magnets. We look at the electronic configuration of materials for various reasons.

It pays the bills

deep river - generally it is due to the flexibility and physicl demands, also helps to be short. However, have worked with one climber nearer 60 than 50 who was 6'6", so not your typical climber. If you're fairly fit you should be able to keep up. Older surgeons seem to be more considerate of the trees too.

I work as a forester, taking them down at the ankles and dropping a lot more in a day than a surgeon would. Also pretty active with a lot more big toys than a tree surgeon. Love it.

health and safety consultant, dealing in the weird, wonderful and downright dangerous bits that normal HSE type peeps wouldn't know what to do with.

Left a senior management position in the electrical contracting industry just over a year ago to work for myself back on the tools.

Earning silly money with no stress.

I hate you, I hate the ground you walk on and the air you breathe............you lucky, lucky, bugger 😀

used to be aerospace technician, firefighter now.

Design Engineer and if I'm honest I hate it.

Ideal job for me would be a busy Bike Shop or a Joiner/ Carpenter.

Asset planner for a water authority, investigate problems and put together investment needs for sewage treatment works.

Mulletus Maximus - What sort of Design Engineering do you do / who do you work for?
I do similar, with 'Product' sometimes in front of Design, bit disillusioned with it, so am currently studying an MA in Design part time to learn how to be creative again and to hopefully find a more 'positive' way of working.

emma82, slightly more fun than Ann Summers (actual a lot more fun) however the interview process and on [url= http://www.berudenottoo.co.uk ]job[/url] training is somewhat different

I'm a glorified freelance journalist. Need to make up a grander job title, how about digital media content consultant?

ron jeremy - If you're the real ron jeremy then I think you're being a bit modest.

Postroom manager.

That is the definition of "niche". Awesome.

Gavver

Visiting support worker, supporting people with physical and learning disabilities to live independently in the community and their own home,

I'm the service manager for a small office equipment dealer. We also do cash registers and epos systems, both locally and nationaly through our website which I manage.

Been there over 20years.

I drive Airbuses.

Countryside management with bit more of a focus on developing recreational opportunities now... think canoeing, snorkelling...

oh and its all on the coast...

I charge exorbitant prices for fixing peoples hugely overpriced bikes whilst getting paid a pittance because 'I love bikes'.... alledgedly. 😉

Mechanical Design Engineer in a small-but-growing renewable energy related company. Get to do the design / engineering in between the management/team leader stuff, probably adds up to 1.5 jobs. Enjoying the hands-on problem solving and interesting work more than some of my colleagues!

Solar PV system designer, engineer, installation electrician, zoo keeper and anything else related to PV that my company decides to get involved with but is too clueless to know what they are doing. Love the whole PV scene but hate the job 'cos the company is useless. Need to get out quickly before I kill someone.

manufacturing engineer, it's ok i suppose but i'd rather have an mtb orientated campsite or bed and breakfast type establishment as well as machine shop making some bike parts somewhere on site if i could!.

Lol Ron, was that picture taken during part of your interview process then? you look such a happy worker 😀 She looks a bit serious though!

That's me on the left.
Care worker for people with a wide range of physical and mental disabilities.

I'm a student studying mechanical engineering and would love the opportunity for some work experience, this summer if possible?
Please?

Virtual Reality Engineer. I make fully tracked immersive environments. Think holodeck on Star Trek. It's pretty rewarding, there's always a "WOW" factor when you hand over but I think i'd like to get into flight simulators should I decide to move on.

I'm an academic and I love it (most of the time).

I'm a Principle Engineer at Jaguar Landrover....

....and I love it 😆

Deputy head teacher at an all age (2-19) School for pupils with severe and profound learning needs. OFSTED tuesday 😯

....and I love it

I realise you probably design rather than come up with concepts and stuff... But could you and your colleagues maybe stop making shit cars? Landies used to be ace 🙁

Heating technician (as it,s called now)for large british company ! like the work ,company sucks

Pysch nurse; if you try to off yourself (and fail) in Manchester tonight you could meet me.

You know the purple lines that get painted on the roads - thats my job.

Postie , it's not exciting and the wages are pretty rubbish but I get out into the fresh air every day without a boss breathing down my neck and get to spend a lot of quality time with my family (much more important IMO than earning wads!).

beeen on the same round for nearly 14 years so on first name terms with most of my customeers too.

if you could design the ball joints and roll bar bushes to last more than 2 years on £50,000+ car that would be handy. 🙂

I'm a cox.

More vocation than occupation, no?

emma that is strap on jane, an industry friend of ours, and that was taken at a one of the shows we attend to promote [url= http://www.cupidscouch.co.uk/ ]ourselves[/url]

RJ

Policy Manager. I see myself as a younger version of Malcolm Tucker. 🙄

ron- I've got a mental image now of you xxx rated zorbing in that love pod, thanks for that you've warped my fragile little mind 😯

tazzy, when did you ever have a fragile little mind?? (don't forget we have met!!)

I am SOA Architect working on CRM and Commercial programmes for a big company that flies planes with big comfortable seats at the front.

I was on my bestest behavior then, you can't possibly have surmised that I'm not a delicate little flower from that ride 😉

Earning silly money with no stress.

Self employed Handyman/Gardener, i love my work 😉

Business is thriving, only started a year ago and now my name is getting round.

Domestique

Out of work planning officer.

There isn't a less busy industry at the minute, in terms of recruitment anyway...

currently eating too much chocolate working sorting out SAP data for Cadbury/Kraft, only a few more weeks then back on the dole 🙁

I'm a womble! 😯

I do retained recruitment.

Thrilling.

Sometimes I glue blocks of timber together.

Not sure

'I now christen you Strap on Jane'. Poor woman's parents really didn't like her much when she came along??!! More interesting than Calamity Jane I suppose 🙂 Actually really like that pod thing, does it roll around??

Self employed/freelance doing corporate/promotional video and web design. Going crap tbh, just doesn't seem like there's much of a market for it at the minute. Seriously considering a completely different career path, the media industry is too hard to get into unless you know someone. Would ideally be working on films in post production. Foley artist would be a dream job but sound is the hardest bit to get into!

I test run W12 engines on a Dyno before they are fitted into Bentley GTC'S and Supersports. 😯

Low ranking bureaucrat but may evolve into Dear Leader one day ... 😈

Two hats, me: research fellow at university (for the glory but no pay); lecturer at FE college (for the pay but absolutely NO glory).

Looking for a change.

Student studying math. I get to ride my bike lots and don't really have to do any work. Would be nice if I got paid a bit more though.

stay at home dad.. commission artist.. cakemakers assistant.. mediator.. counsellor.. skivvy.. Don..

enormous wage defecit.. much preferred my previous employment where I was mainly working as 'a bad example'
