I'm a 'Work Flow Specialist' for a Large multi national newspaper group, basically data management. Worked in the Northern Ireland Parliament for a while then an Ad agency in digital design and web development.

I dont mind the job as i sit and wait for things to go tits up and fix them, gives me time to surf and do a few homers in between.

I had a few interesting jobs one of which was with ICI as a R&D Biochemist. Worked on a deepsea trawler catching big fish for pocket money once, but id rather being doing something like Scott or Prof wheeto living the dream

I'm a production manager in the events industry, mainly working on conferences. I'm responsible for the install/derig of all the technical bits on site (Video/Sound/Lighting etc) and making sure it all runs smoothly on the day.

Worked in the industry since I left college 24 years ago so know nothing different, long hours and the pay is OK. Run my own business so can't complain (means I was able to buy a T5 as my daily hack)

 

[AGC]

Im a sales manager for an office equipment company.....have been selling for the past 20 odd years.......the money is good but lots of pressure (especially at the end of the month...targets to hit etc) Im fed up with the job but dont know what else to do which would pay enough to keep the mortgage and bills paid. Oh well, at least it adds money to the VW pit

 

[Marvin]

I'm now running a Paintball site. potentially we are open 365 days a year, hence looking at moving my bus on. Summer is the mad time of year, i get 1 weekend in 7 off, whereas winter, obviously less people want to run around a wood getting shot, so all the time in the world.

Hey ho, it doesn't feel like a job!

[clyde]

Able bodied Seaman in the Merchant Navy. Done it for too long now (since i left school) Used to love it when i was younger but the industry has changed and its now very much just a job to me.
Travelled the world and done some truly amazing things that i would never have done otherwise, but family come first now.
Good points...........I only work 6 months of a year and for this the money is OK
Bad points.............I work away from my family for 6 months and for this the money is not enough!

Worked for afew different companys over the years but at the moment i work for Trinity House, maintaining Buoys and Lighthouses around the UK coast. Its looked upon as a good job in my trade, thats why i applied but im not sure if its for me to be honest. Watch this space.
