That sounds like my dream job!

However at present i'm a Chartered Surveyor.

Systems and software designer. Mostly fixed-price contracts for the European Space Agency. It's interesting, but a bit frustrating and not terribly profitable.

Lead Systems Integration Technician - making armoured vehicles.
Spent my last 10years before this working in F1 also.

Teaching - and I (now) hate it. Not an ideal time for a career change but passed all my assessments for the CNC and waiting for training course (may, or may not happen).

I'm a womble!

Same company, very different role. Basically recording the property that's been used to build the motorways.

Solicitor - a job I hate. Used to be an agricultural mechanic, a job I loved but which after 15 years in the job I was on £6.50 per hence the change in job.

Sheet metal worker by trade but have an HGV license a good knowledge of vehicle and mains electrics, install and repair vehicle heating systems and vehicle refrigeration. Often tasked with problem solving or designing developing new models options whatever the customer wants I tend to have to make it happen. Not really sure what I want to do except not work for Jiffy Trucks any longer.

I'm a Beach Comber.

'puter programmer.

job title is a (tiny) little bit more grand: Senior Analyst/Programmer

Mr Drummer I'm very disappointed in you. With your crimpy heritage I at least expected something exciting like being a "fluffer" for that Eldritch chappy to make sure he's ready before a performance 😀

student of material engineering, graduating in june. Turned down a big engine manufacturer in derby (easy to guess) to study a phd in tribology. 😯 Does not sound so exciting when written!

I know, not very rock'n'roll is it? still, it pays the mortgage & allows me to buy nice kit

a previous job title was the much more grand "Software Development Consultant".
I've also been a Microfilm Operator* and a documentation assistant. The latter was by far the most interesting in terms of learning about, and working with, local history.

*friends thought it meant I was a spy

Student. Textiles and Design

Cardboard fettler and olefin laminate herder.

ITU nurse, been a nurse for 23 years, am pretty good at my job, do it with enthusiasm and passion and as much skill as I can, but am still hated for having a pension.

Chief Instructor, outdoor centre with this as our classroom:

CID officer. Aspire to be Gene Hunt, but more like Dixon from Dock Green.

Very few IT related jobs so far. That must be stinging the people who like to stereotype STW/MTB riders.

I'll attempt to skew it back though. I work in IT. Pays well, I get to mess about with the latest technology and now I'm no longer operational I really enjoy it.

I'm a Principle Engineer at Jaguar Landrover

Winner. Can I play too?

I'm a software engineer too. All of you self employed types, when you send your forms off to Companies House and fill them in wrongly, it's my code that catches it. It's also my code that slaps a fine on you for filing your accounts late.

Oh and...

I've errm, come across her website before. It's quite interesting.

I meet people who, given ten minutes on Google, know more than I do about health, provision of resources, and the role of antibiotics......

may we enquire as to how.......

Recruitment consultant. It is, at best, very average.

As above, I work in IT, security specifically. When I used to do investigations on people at work there was one guy who had quite a thing for that lady. While he was being quite smart about how he got to her website, he wasn't being smart about storing the images on his PC.

Jane has a transvestite partner/friend who features in a lot of her pictures. Hairy, fat old bloke by the looks of it. This chap seemed to be quite keen on those sorts of strap on encounters.

*Kicks molgrips in the stones*

Project manager and quantity surveyor- bean counter to the construction industry- pays for stuff i suppose- bit depressing when they start knocking down buildings you were involved in at the start of your career 😥

So have you entered a "back door" for yourself? Enter a hex value in one of the fields and bang, ooh no tax for you this year...

Somebody who voted liberal, and now looking for repentance.

Proffesional nice chap and forum inhabitee.

Secondary school teacher - Craft, Design & Technology.

Soon to be unemployed as contract ends when summer holidays start, and there's nae jobs.

Like Nipper, a solicitor and hating it. Don't really know what else to do though!
