What job do you do for a living ?

HellsBells · 20-Sep-2004, 20:15

Being the nosey old bag that I am, I thought that I would ask you all if you would mind sharing with us all what you do for a living when you are not out being budding WSB racers !

Me... Well I am just a humble auxilliary nurse / phlebotomist working with the District and Practice Nurses at a local medical centre !

OK, I'll go first then.
Run my own computer/IT business mainly in the storage networks/devices market, but maintainance and repairs aswell.
Keeps me in dukes and parts.

PS, I hate computers, they are a total pain in the bum.

cheers

That's a first

An accountant trying to add excitement!

Ok, I'm sure the sh*t will start to fly now but I'm on the verge of becoming a trainee solicitor. That means:
low pay
long hours
no guarantee of a job after years of study and humiliation from employers who treat contracts like gold dust

However, in my previous, single motherhood life when I needed to earn money to support my very expensive daughters, I was .... wait for it ... that other scummy profession An IFA. (that's Independent Financial Adviser to the uninitiated)

I sure can pick those careers, can't I?
Any other solicitors out there with some good experiences to share?
(no, thought not)
