[Closed] Whats your occupation?

I'm one of the unwashed self employed which means that depending on the month/week/day I'll be doing one of the following 🙂
Domestic fire sprinkler installation
Commercial fencing
Stainless steel welder
Bathroom/kitchen installer
Garden landscaper
Or anything else that someone wants to pay me money for 🙂

So, who's actually going to find their professional skills in demand after the apocalypse?

that's why, when I left school, I trained to be a blacksmith...

After reading all of this, my job doesn't seem so bad.

Not as good as Ron Jeremy's though 🙁

By night I'm a self employed pyrotechnician.

Posted 2 weeks ago # Report-Post

Bike mechanic, room booker, bag delivery and IT/PCI security for a Suffolk bike holiday company. Occassionally I get to ride a bike in Summer. On the upside I'm off to Austria for 10 days soon to ride a bike and take photos for "work".
Money is ok, team is ok and it's miles better than being an H&S consultant!

Currenty unemployed, kind of on holiday 😉 but until 8 months ago I was a Marine.

Trainee gardener in Botanic/Historic gardens.

Swapped to this after my degree-eductaed career choice in Engineering Design turned out to be a horrid place to be.

Own two bikeshops in the east of Scotland...thinking about a new direction possibly.anyone want to buy a bikeshop?

Self employed furniture maker/boat fitter....... Workshop on a farm, surrounded by fields and woods in the middle of the countryside. Have loads of big big toys/machines, money is ok but best of all I'm doing something I look forward to everyday 🙂 🙂

If anyone in the South Wales area wants to lay a patio, drop me a line.

I drive an artic for one of the supermarkets.It gets a bit manic,on a sunny summers evening you could do it for nothing,going out in a midwinter blizzard though & you really don't want to be ther.Longest I've held a job down (10 years),been trucking for 21 years.I served my apprenticeship as a spark & stuck it out til my late 20's,much prefer trucking to dragging cables through crappy attic spaces etc.

I'm a Software Engineer (apparently) and, because it is the law, I drive an Octavia...

What a nice job 8)

I bet the money ain't all that though 😐

Money isn't that important to me - as long as I have enough to get by. Who really puts up with a job they hate just so they can buy a new car each year?

I'm moving to Tresco (Isles of Scilly) for a year to work on the Abbey Gardens. Not many jobs get you to such random and interesting places - life is for living, not saving.

Ridings not much cop though - any excuse to buy a Pugsley!

I help big brands use the internet. It's bloody great.

[i]A business of the past now eh?[/i]

well it [i]was[/i] 25 years ago. my first job after dropping out of university. second job was dealing with local history. third job was tea-boy in a two man IT department at a manufacturing company. By the time I left 9 years later, the department had grown to 6 and I was the senior guy after the IT manager - but most of the management still remembered me as the teaboy. Had to leave to make any progress. I've also worked in a software house, a VAR and a distribution company, been in the current job 10 years now. We make doors. all over the world.

I'm a pricing specialist for a big agricultural manufacturer. I've got a degree in Chemical Engineering, not quite sure how I got here?

Don't mind the job, not too keen on the idiots I have to deal with......

I run [url= http://www.allmountainventure.com/ ]All Mountain Venture[/url]

34+ years in factory production/maintenance. Of which the last 20 years have been making up to 25 million Can tops (thats Coke/Stella etc. cans) a DAY . I can't say I love it, but the 4 on 4 off 12hr shifts give me plenty of spare time.

If you could be arsed to read all this, you'd see.

Joking aside I am an OCM (Offshore Construction Manager) in the oil and gas industry.

wish I rode hard tails for a living though 😥

I work for one of those quangos, drinking tea while scratching me hairy arse all day.

I'm the land Hazards Advisor for Auckland Council, pretty much love my job, only been doing it 2 months but its about the most interesting avenue i could hope for with a town Planning degree. moneys ok but after 4 years of study and 18 months of stay at home dadding any money would be ok!

You looking for help, molgrips? I thought you lived in Germany.

Only a 6 month contract Saxon. Will be back at the end of July.

Could use a bigger patio to help Lil Grips have space to run about, a gate in the back fence and maybe change the line of it too.

Urban planner and transport planner at AECOM in Sydney, Australia - interesting but a bit stressful and contrary to popular opinion not all BBQs, beach and home and away!!
