Whats your day job!

[doz]

Process technician turning black orrible goo into the finest petrol,diesel and lube oils you can buy!!!! Love it but I had (ahem) a wee bike accident a few years ago and now all I drive is a desk

Still it pays well and is better than not working.

Before that I was a non-destructive tester in the petrol chem industry and the aerospace. Loved working on the plane parts it was all so clean and I had so many big boys toys to play with like walk in media blasters, shot peening and even plasma spraying with of course lots of machinists at my disposal :lol: :lol: :lol:

Shame the money was pants

I did half a technician apprenticeship when I left school, then dropped out and squatted in London for a few years. Since I got going again, I've done everything from tractor diving, maintaining lights on petrol station canopies, fitting windows and roller shutters. Had to take life seriously with kids, so career changed into engineering design. I ended up with own design consultancy designing installations on buildings, towers and pylons for mobile phone base station transmission equipment. Good money.

Burnt out - took a year off, scratched head and ended up mending and restoring T2's which I've been doing for 4-5 years now. Crap money but fun sometomes and I meet nice people now instead of hard-faced engineers.

I was a builder until my back and neck gave up. :? ( I still manage to crawl about under the bus though :lol: )
Had to come out of the building trade and am now sitting behind a desk in the import/ export game.

It bores me brainless but I do manage to get a lot of 'bus' stuff done in the warehouse.
Once the bus is finished ( if they are ever finished ) I will be on the lookout for a change

I'm on the lookout for a new job as the self-employed game just isn't working for me any more.

I pay my current bills through database and website development along with the odd photography job thrown in for good measure.

Reckon I will go back in to data work as I find it the most rewarding [read: profitable] and it's where I speciailised
