My Mate is doing that at Uni Taff. Seems a good thing to do.

graphic designer in nottinghamshire working for snap.plc.uk
getting busy again after xmas lul

Finished uni 5 years ago [that has only just dawned on me – someone get me a snakebite and black]. Think I’ve been lucky with my experience so far. Find it quite exciting/fun but some mates are experiencing the opposite. Was rubbish at uni, not great at the whole drunken learning thing

Paramedic. Plenty out there to keep us busy. As always. It would actually be quite nice if things did quieten down a bit.

Another fireman here been very busy over the festive period cant see owt changing . Had a bad shift today as it goes how stupid some people drive astounds me 🙁

Royal Navy (Andrew) and then the Fire Service been there since 1982, can’t complain and I can now retire if it’s my want! But I’ve Uni bills to pay!

Time served Joiner/Carpenter, been working as a Contracts Manager for the last year until this crazy recession happened the company went bust, now I’m back on the tools wishing I was still doing the Contracts Manager Job

Was made (volunteered) redundant from RAF 3 years ago. Now a geek. Install and maintain networks, do IT support for small companies without their own dept and consultancy for those that do. Some times it gets in the way of biking and skiing.

Consultant to the utility sector, mostly water but some power companies. I try to help them make better investment decisions i.e. make better use of their customers’ (our!) money. A good place to be for a not-so-closet environmentalist 🙂
Business is crazy busy but that’s largely a function of the 5 year cycle in the water industry, which is currently in the “all hands to the pump” phase. If the past is owt to go by, 2010 will be a lot quieter, and then it’ll probably all start to pick up again. A combination of the fact that utilities are essential services, and a never-ending stream of new regulations, means investment will keep crankin’ on for a long time.
Probably the kiss of death for the sector, saying that!

A&E nurse, it seems to provide my riding mates with a false sense of security for their safety when we go out.

Sociology lecturer but I mainly do Cultural Studies. My main research interest is the presence of millenarian and apocalyptic themes in popular culture. It’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it.

Signaller on West Highland line, RETB if anyone is interested, like airtraffic control but with trains instead of planes! Good job done it for 18 years, don’t nearly enough time on the hummer mores the pity!
PJ.

Another bloody student. Industrial Design, I’m currently looking for a placement to take next year, and hoping that the credit crunch won’t affect companies taking us for a placement.

medical doctor, non-practicing (try getting your credentials verified in viet nam without paying a significant bribe…) currently writing on travel/health and doing fitness promotion for a heart-rate monitor manufacturer.

successful? well, kinda, if success means the opportunity to travel around se asia doing strange things and meeting weird people. i’ve run and biked in places i can barely describe, but my lifestyle doesn’t generate a major income, oh no. so the economic downturn doesn’t hurt me as much as it’s hurting others out here.

but if you buy the theory that says ‘life is simply about collecting as many experiences as you can in the time you’ve been given’ then i’m doing quite well, thank you 🙂

Debt collector for my family

Oggles – That’s what I’m looking for. Usually by this time the average student will have had 5 or so interviews. I have had one (and without trying to sound big-headed, i think I’m better than average) And that was with Mcdonalds, in their Estate Management Department. The credit crunch is definitely effecting my job hunting prospects lol.

GIS Technician – Local Authority but not ‘secure’ right now.

International jewel thief hours are a bit unsociable and the job takes me away from home sometimes but otherwise business as usual.

Availability Tech (process operator) at an oil refinery. Shiftwork means I can use trails when they are quiet.

Telecomms engineer for a mobile operator, working on a 2g upgrade(rumours of 5 years work). Just had a pay rise as well. Happy-ish days. Not a bad job some unsocialable hours and a fair bit of travelling, but other days 10 minute job and paid for a 10 hour day.Also get to go to some strange locations all those masts atop hills and buildings.

Consultant engineer in water. Good news: Cover all of Scotland… Bad news:…All year, all weather, and it’s BIG.

Senior Production Supervisor for a packaging firm but we’ve just been f@*#ed over when Wedgewood went into administration cos they owe us a lot of money. I MAY have a job on Monday morning but I’m not holding my breath.

Run my own Travel Consultancy from home, for the discerning end of the market, so not too bad at the moment.
Lot of my clients are cash-rich individuals so not too affected by the economy in general, apart from one or two in particularly affected area’s. No Staff, No hassle, No Boss. 😀
Think….
Cheap as chips or Late deals – not me.
Business Class, 5 Star & a Junior Suite……… I can help.

Finished my job of 33 years yesterday. Now retired. But feel free to make an offer for my services….

I work as an Internet/IT Consultant from home.

A bit fed up with it all and keep saying I am going to go for a career change….just not sure what else to do !! LOL 🙂

Marketing Director for a US sporting goods manufacturer. It’s not a bad gig… 😉

As Taff, I’m an Architectural Technologist.

Community mental health nurse (older adults) Working in the South & West Area of Bradford ̱ soon to be a specialist community mental health practitioner ̱ well if I get my arse in gear & get my assignment written (Holistic Medication Management: A case study focusing on the use of Mirtazapine & Escitralopram in combination Рto be handed in on Fri) and get my practice portfolio sorted out by July

Recently changed jobs to be a Project Manager for a financial company, great job 🙂

Worked as a Research Technician in Biological Sciences ( Exeter Uni ) for ~ 34 years then made redundant when Dept. of Chemistry went taking others with it.
Love science, so now am a school lab technician. Pay cr*p, building 60’s built and falling down, understaffed, incredibly manic but the people/school are a joy to work with. Great to loose the arrogance of academia and work with people who really appreciate you – and actually say so!
