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

I'm a Site Operator on a Bulk Fuel Storage Depot for a Govt Dept based in Whitehall. Rural location and work in and outdoors and shifts, not an unpleasant way to earn a crust.

Rubber technologist...

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..

I own a recruitment business.

Lots of engineeringy ones on here.. interesting.

Fabricator/welder/steel erector

Love this job description. Got visions of some bloke making power drill noises as he moves his arms slowly towards a wall.

I run the test department of a hifi company. Interesting work, nice people, pay isn't bad, perks pretty good if you like hifi 😉

Oceanographer. Product Manager for an instrumentation manufacturer.

I spend most days standing around on street corners.

Bike messenger.

A one-time marine biologist, I now spend most of my time getting people to talk with each other so they make better (less bad? good?) decisions.

Most of the time, great fun. Not so fun when doing stoopid workloads due to inability of clients to see that a quinquennial cycle comes around, oooh, about... every - five - freakin' - years - surprise!!

I'm a chemistry professor. Organic chemistry mainly - My lab tries to discover new ways of making molecules.

Got to be from up North then

Marketing Analyst, which at the moment means spending lots of time trying to get reports out of a newly installed CRM system. Money isn't too good but it is interesting at the moment.

100!!

I'm good at counting things 🙂

I sell and support the computers that garages use to fix your over complicated technical nightmares of cars, trucks, bikes, tractors even jet skis.... Interesting and frustrating and why I love bikes, cos they're simple compared to cars...

Stop / Go board operative?

I didn't wear knickers today either at work

A bit uncomfy under bib shorts

Drug dealer. Well provider of a well valued NHS Prescription service that really helps a lot of patients stay healthy it should go national in 2012. We also dispense a hell of a lot of knob drugs......

Psych Nurse - Managing 3 Supported Living houses in the community, 1 floating support, 1 24hr support for schizophrenic males and 1 24hr support for forensic patients (think violent(murder etc) and sexual crimes with enduring mental health problems... ex broadmoor for example). love my job as its psych nursing in a setting where i actually get to help people learn to cope/live independently. one of my patients recently went off to uni to train as an Occupational Therapist 😀

nice to see so many nurses and social worker type people on here too, even if they are all NHS/public sector scum, you dirty scummy lovely caring people!

Currently doing a PhD in bio-mechanical engineering. If anyone's got a job for me in two years time or needs some tutoring, let me know.

I only work from 9-3....

A thankless task for minor ducats.

There's more medical staff than IT people.
Bang goes another STW stereotype.

Another of those overpaid, over pensioned NHS types. 6 years at Uni, 10 years postgraduate training, 15 years of continuing education so far. Not an easy career change either way, in or out.

Yes PhilC people on here seem to be in IT, engineering or NHS! I'm a family support worker, I work with children in care for an Independent Fostering agency. Looking to study to be a social worker. Used to manage a record label, so an interesting career change for me - I can recommend them!

Royal Navy marine engineer, I spend my time trying to keep my ship working and the lights on.

Graphic Designer, Web Designer, Brand and Marketing Consultant, general purveyor of new trousers for Emperors. Bit of video work, photography and copywriting thrown in too. Really varied, really enjoy it, pay is quite good.

I appreciate I'm going to end up on the 'B' ark, but I can always fall back on my Computer Science degree and maybe solve some of the world's real problems again...

Gentleman Artisan.

*Museum chippery on a freelance basis*

I read, interpret, and write about late-antique and early-medieval Greek and Latin texts.

So when a thread appears about religion on here, I keep my mouth shut. Best to do that when you actually know something about a subject. 😉

I recruit NHS staff, and also dismiss NHS staff. I'm very busy dismissing NHS staff at the moment. Mostly the rubbish ones who can't come to work because they are 'ill' and the ones that are just plain rubbish at their jobs.....in a small way i'm helping my Trust to save £47,000,000 in budget cuts.

I'm an executive search person so basically a recruiter. It's very, very busy would you believe.

Aw come on, I'd love to hear it!

double glazing/ curtain walling installer. Hate glass with a passion 😀

Saxonrider - British Library?

Line Controller - London Underground.

Don't like it!

I design mobile phone networks - if you make a 3G call in pretty much any West African capital, there's a fair chance I'll have designed (part of) the network it gets carried over...

Design and program fruit machines. Love it.

Love this job description. Got visions of some bloke making power drill noises as he moves his arms slowly towards a wall.

Think bigger drills, think 30,000 feet deep.

IT Director for an aerospace manufacturer. I quite enjoy my job actually.

Interesting - what software do you use thebrick ?

I what qualifications do you have ? Im thinking of going back to uni to do a masters in drilling or reservoir engineering

Surgical rep - I love the smell of burning flesh 😯

Soon to be ex- ITU nurse, going into Occ Health, woohoo no more nights, weekends or other peoples shit, piss or vomit - what's not to like? Just doing my bit to bring the country further to its knees financially, I thank you.

Valleydaddy - I'm with you on the smell of burning flesh. It's grand.

National Sales Manager for a well know bicycle distributor, you'll never guess which one though.

I get to deal with you lot all day and somehow still seem to enjoy it 🙂

I'm yet another drain on the public purse!

I'm an ambulance technician, but one who rides a bike rather than driving the big yellow taxi 😆

💡 *runs off to Google "richie"* 💡

Its the companies software own, the main model is a mix of FORTRAN and C++ then some other stuff written in VB that some other developers deal with. I'm newish so only just getting to grips with it myself. Just been customising the some software for some clients. Even thought the model is largely written every operators rig operates slightly different with slightly different requirements.

I'm an applied mathematician, the other modellers are engineers or physicists. Pay is not the great tbh but prob just the firm I'm working for. Probably a bit different if you were working for an oil company as a reservoir engineer.

in the colder, rainy months (although it hasn't rained here in Munich for six weeks now) i work as a carpenter knocking together sets for large events and/or trade fairs in far off cities; last month Copenhagen, last week Milan and Vienna, this week Vienna again, week after next Stuttgart, Düsseldorf and then back home in Munich.

in the summer months i work as a bike guide and luggage driver. one week riding my bike with a group, the next after driving a van for 2-3 hours and then hitting the hills on my own for 4-6 hours. it doesn't pay as well as the chippying, but it takes me to some fantastic spots and the van driving is like being on holiday most of the time.

the two compliment each other nicely as the events and trade fairs trail off towards summer and start again around september time just as the (holiday) biking season comes to a close.

life is ok.

Disaster Manager - can be fun - can be boring - generally rewarding!

A&E nurse, love it 🙂

disben - how is cressers these days?

I try and stop people from needing the yellow taxis and keep them away from hospital.... coz they only arse it up in there... 😉

Public sector lay about apparently 🙂

Former bricklayer (best avoided in the current climate) and currently FE construction Lecturer and NVQ assessor.

idave - cressers...?

sorry, cressers was a former STW regular who was basically the resident merchant of all things doom, gloom and disaster

ah - dont know him - no I am an emergency planner - we think doom, gloom and disaster all day long. Hopefully we never get to respond but unfortunately we do (7 hr response to a fire yesterday)

Researcher / Government advisor (not that they listen mind ...)

Trying to stop some people needing the services of the likes of Stoatsbrother!

Oh, and obviously another layabout that's draining the public purse and bringing the country to it's knees 😉

Full time student, part time call centre operator and part time pyrotechnician

I put potential drugs in people. Used to be a Rocket Scientist(TM) until I discovered Biology (at 24). Now I'm a Clinical Pharmacologist.

rwc03 drop me a line if you can do maths and I'm happy to give some suggestions.

I'm a Reward Specialist for a professional services company.
I advise companies on exec and broad based pay and reward issues including salaries, incentive schemes, grading, benefits, performance management, etc.

Neonatal nursing. Best people on earth to work with/for.
Was a roofer before that.
Better conversation with the babies. 😛

I've been doing my current job and I still not entirely sure what I do 😐
Still it pays well

I work well over 90 hours per week in the medical profession.
Apparently that makes me innefficient and unbalanced going on recent posts around here.
I have a beautiful girlfriend 15 years younger than me and ride trails when I want which is my passion.
I'm happier than most people I know despite my shortfalls.

IT bod in the Public Sector. No 90 hours per week for me though. George Osborne can't afford the overtime.

I'd rather build bicyle wheels.

Teacher.

I used to be a geinacologist then became a bricklayer, still do a bit of the medical stuff, just to keep my hand in.

Airline Captain but the job bears zero resemblance to the public's perception of it! I don't earn megabucks, work insane hours and am treated like dirt by my airline (standard) but it does allow me to live in northern Scotland and ride my bike several times a week. So on balance it was worth the 10 years of financial and emotional misery.
Would I recommend it to you.............NO!

An awesome job all the same.

Last four jobs including my current one:

Commissioning Manager for services for children with disabilities
Operations Manager for a charity supporting people with autism
Vocational Instructor for children and young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties
Lead Roofer

IT Support Manager

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.
