Hey folks. Well in order to keep buying those parts and keeping your buses alive and on the road etc, what does everyone do for a living ? Also curious because I'm searching for a possible new career and I wont lie I am being a nosey bleep and just want to see what you folks do. Cheers.

I’ve done all sorts in my checkered career, main things , apprentice butcher in Oz Boner here initially, worked in a bakery for a bit, started in the building trade and spent a couple of decades there including a lot of roofing, then into the direct sales malarkey selling all sorts from telecoms to cable to kitchens, surveyed for a few different outfits then worked at fund raising for various charities, but am now enjoying a few days a week as a grocery delivery driver. I’ve missed out several,, I know, but my grey cells are sluggish this evening.
