My Job Is To Hand Out Newpapers In My Motorbike.

Worked 12 years as a second chef by night.
Retail sales in an irrigation supplies store by day (still). Problem solving 10 hours a day, with a little design and planning thrown in. Same moron customers that everybody else gets. And a few good ones too.

Get to play with an huge range of fittings (200,000+ poly, pvc, s/s, brass, copper, galv......), so often spend time "inventing". Access to wholesale tools and accessories is always good..... when my paycheque can handle it.

I oversee/manage the installation of computers and networks on Royal Navy ships & subs, I'm also responsible for their ship/shore IP comms.

+ve: I get to work onboard, meet a lot of interesting people and don't live behind a desk.

-ve: Too many ladders.

I'm in the same line. The best part of the job after 25 years is dealing with the little ones. There mouths drop open and they allways seem impressed. :D

I'll be joining the college ranks in the fall, after nearly seven years in high school education. My job will be teaching music history and theory to first and second year students. I could not imagine doing something other than teaching.

Hi

I work at the University since four years, now as a lecturer and researcher in a subject called "History of ideas and science".
Best thing is that I am my own boss more or less. Very free job and apart from the teching stuff I can work from home, or whenever during the day it suits me. Good for going climbing...;) Or staying home till lunchtime reading up on Wittgenstein. Also very good students to work with.
Worst thing is at times all the student papers I have to judge and make comments on. Also a bit of solo job, I miss the feeling of doing something together with others in a joint project.

Cheers porphy

There's a bit of a range when it comes to what people do. I am surprised there arn't more military people around. I would have thought we had some captains or even an admiral on here. ;)

Grr I know tiring training people to do stuff is... my dad can't catch onto games as fast as I so I have to spend hours showing him how not get killed 5 mins into the game... or in EvE when I make the mystake of letting new players into me corp and spend the next hours teaching them how to fit a ship or do a mission or use the map.... :damn:

On topic I don't have a job yet even though I'm 17... BUT REALLY NEED ONE... but first I really gotta learn how to bloody drive, I hate cars though... though I hate summer so a nice job at Best-Buy might allow me to work with computers and stay in a nice air conditioned store... :D (plus the employee discount for games :p )

I work on US Submarines and ships for a living for the Government. Mostly work on subs. I lead a crew of techs who assess and repair all systems on board to get her ready for deployment.

well, when I was young and still had a dad, I used to wonder why he wasn't as good at Atari baseball as I, later on I realized it was because he had to go to work all day, while I stayed home and played Atari baseball all day.

^^
yup sucks tbh.

Most of the time I tollerate my job as a draughtsman. It pays me less than it ought and I'm better at it than it pays...
Have to put up with all the project manager crap demanding to have all the drawings last week when they still havent given us the information to actually do the drawing... how some of these planks became project managers is beyond me :hmm:

All of the grott runs downhill at my company, and the drawing office is at the bottom of the pile.

Looking into doing some sort of structural steel thingy... work for a company and have a day release to go back to school and learn some more, sounds like a plan for better conditins and more pay.
