[Closed] What job do you do?

I'm a faceless public sector beurocrat. Not a good choice at the moment if you're thinking of a switch.

Blogger, writer and mid-week biking buddy of Trekster 🙂

Prison Officer.
Don't even bother.

IT Manager

I'm a scrounger as well - Learning Disabilities Nurse. Not a good time for heading this way.

Single parent and part time admin. Loads of time to ride a bike. Pay is shite though.

Dirty lazy good for nothing, drain on the lawful, honest, taxpaying private sector heroes.
ITU nurse for 25 years.

sometimes i wake up with torn purple pants on and have lost all other garments.

I am then too tired to go to work normally.

scaredypants has me intrigued.

I used to hurt people for a living but that was in a previous life.

I spend most days standing around on street corners.
I don't earn very much.

You need to add wolverines to your spring regimen

Bio-decomtamination validation engineer. Currently in a hotel in Senegal have a cold beer.

I saw a forestry job on Mull which is tempting, though poles apart from my current rat race job and probably a bit extreme in the other direction.

I grow things
I build things
And I get things wet to save them.

Pays the bills 🙂

As of this week, a designer and seller of wooden things ( I cant think of a fancy job title that suits)! 😀

Hoping to move into furniture design in the near future.

Scrounging paramedic here. Not a good time to be one, unfortunately.

International Jewel Thief. But when thats slack I convert vehicles into Jiffy Trucks and now campervans. Can be interesting now and again. But for the main it's putting beans in the tin day in day out.

Staff Nurse Orthopaedics. Not much else to say.

Psychiatric social worker

Product development, I'm reluctant to call myself a research chemist these days as a lot of what I do is closer to alchemy.

You need a degree, so that'll be 3 years and £27k now, the wage isn't worth it...

I bring down economies & cause worldwide financial meltdown.......... according to the national media 😯 😯 😯 😉

i milk llamas

Self employed singer/songwriter-producer-record label/studio owner-session guitarist(get to choose my own work, so only have to work with people I like or admire, which is nice) That's about it really.

You know when salesmen say that their jobs would be a lot easier without customers.... I've got an easy job. 🙁

You know those massive IT cock-up projects that squander millions of public pounds? I work on those.

Actually that's not really fair, I've worked on one that was actually a success eventually, and one that was terrible and I am expecting to hit the news at some point.

I am actually a programmer, not a middle manager, which is a bit better isn't it?

Yeah but at least the gyms are good and some have Starbucks in them. The one in Farnborough would serve excellent steaks with cold veg, and it would take ages.

Structural engineer but it won't get you any recognition on here...

Count things...

F1 sub assembly technician (build gearboxes for racing cars basically) would like to be a paramedic or physiotherapist not entirely sure how I ended up where I am??

I find the question 'do you enjoy your job' to be made up of mutually exclusive elements

Offshore Medic, Registered Nurse, and Labour hater.

I spent 8 months here last year, it looks like I'm going to spend another 6 here this time, in all of that time I can honestly say I've never had a good steak.

Gyms are good though, never been able to get on a spin class though. Closest I've got is 4th reserve.

Currently residing in joblesstrackworld. Can't say I recommend it.

Draughtsman - I put composite windows into holes, make sure they stay put and don't leak.

Only started earlier this year, before that it was 3D modelling and CNC programming.

Work in oil and gas. I was offshore for a wee while but at Leith docks just now doing pipe coatings. Ruff,tuff stuff. I also used to hurt folk badly as well - I liked that job.

I'm an 'engineer'. [how non-descript!]

I basically price and deliver additional works on top of our contracted scope which is the main profit maker for the company i work for.

Fairly boring when there's not much on.

CNC Machinist

I design flight deck lighting systems and visual landing aids for rotary and fixed wing pilots landing on frigates and aircraft carriers.

Used to be a freelance project manager in the 2nd fix game. Commercial premises.

I own/run/manage a classic car restoration/race prep business (fab fun), and an estate management services company (shite - no work about).

But really, I most enjoy chopping trees down >cue "I'm a lumberjack" jokes<

Bank breaking, stock gambling, expenses defrauding over paid paramedic... I wouldn't bother trying to be one, there's no jobs, no development, no future and no decent pension in it, also you end up highly trained to do nothing but paramedic work, anything else clinical requires retraining.

If I could do it all again I'd be a plumber. At least my toilet would work!

People who know me by my job title think I'm the son of Satan and all the Western world's problems are the fault of me and my colleagues...
People who actually know me think I'm a really nice guy 🙂

Automotive design Engineer.

Currently working on a wagon version of an exec car produced by a premium manuf in Cov.

Pics of an early prototype appearing auto express last week I think.

Its a living...

Lucky physiotherapist here waiting to get my gold plated pension when I'm about 70 but enough of that.

Full time NHS, great team and enjoy the job but I'm getting increasing disillusioned with the NHS ...

Course is extremely difficult to get on, especially as there are no course fees to pay

Superb reply and good luck Tomorrow 😉

I help anyone who pays me to become stronger, slimmer, faster, harder, and sometimes to win more stuff by advising either them or their team or various companies in sport about training, mental skills and nutrition. From average people to professionals and polo to F1. Quite competitive and lots work is gained by contacts and referrals. I enjoy the actual work but not the cash-flow challenges and admin kind of stuff that comes with being self employed. But reckon I'm pretty much unemployable.

Various sides to my job... At its most basic, I'm a degree salesman- helping run open days, student visits and such. At the other end, we get people into university who otherwise wouldn't- sorting out visa issues, helping students get scholarships etc, or linking up with colleges to get their graduates into degree courses (which should happen a lot more than it does) And a load of dull admin stuff to keep all that going.

Happy with it? Yeah, when it's good it's good. In fact when it's best, it's fantastic- graduation days etc. At worst, it's boring, but never actually bad. But I'm pretty aware I'm getting paid drastically less than I should (or, possibly, doing work I shouldn't be) which is a wee bit of a downer.

I sell drugs. Legal ones.

I specify, design, code, test and integrate software for operating spacecraft.

I spend most days standing around on street corners.
I don't earn very much.
Chugger?

No, would it help if I add I don't wear any knickers?

Bike messenger.

Self employed Carpenter
and love my job.... 😀

It would if you worked for Orange 😉

I find out what people are thinking. It's not as exciting as it sounds, but it's not as boring as you'd think.

Student, but currently on placement, I do design and layups and stuff for materials/textiles. Work clothes for harsh environments, flameproof/high temp stuff, bags, tool-cases, that sort of stuff.

I didn't have a bra on today, what is it with the girls on this site 🙄 😆

I hurt people
