[Closed] Whats your occupation?

Recently had a slight change, I was modelling and programming for CNC machines at a forging company.

I'm now drawing window and door installations for a Danish company supplying the construction industry.

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."

Manage the Internet retail dept
for a large high st fashion chain

been in retail forever,bit fed up with it to be honest
but there's not a lot else going just now

Health and safety officer.. there I said it. Used to be a tree surgeon but a bad back stopped me doing that! Thinking of going back to plumbing at some point or LGV driving... Can't be doing with all the politics in an office.

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..... 😉

I'm a jizzer 😉 in an environmental consultancy, not sure I would recommend it, there are easier ways to earn a living!

thanks Dave!

im a financial adviser

i'm a Stay at home Dad!!
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)
absolutely the best job ive ever done! wouldnt swap it fir the world! even with the illness (m.e.) i love it!
would recommend it ti anyone! plus side is Lots of milf to talk to and they Always love stay at home dads!!

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.

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 🙁

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.

Or to sum up ....... "prison officer".

Im a manager of catastrophes! I work in Emergency planning for local government!

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!!
