Just curious, what does everybody do for a living?

[Cavscout]

Hey gang,

Hope I am not being too personal for a fellow who just joined the club, but what does everybody here do for a career? Me, I am in the US and work for Fed Ex Ground. Some of you guys seem like you are rich, by looking at some of these collections. See ya!

hmmm know what you mean I wish i was rich in money not just in name[], well for a job i am a Psychiatric Nurse, pays some of the bills and some of my hobby[]

[TWO STAR]

well i am a boat builder for the govt... it makes my wallet fat...my hobbies keep it slim...... sanja.

[limas_mtb]

I am the stock manager for a German formwork & scaffolding company in Greece.

I wouldn't say I'm rich, not much is left after paying al the bills[]

Needless to say, my hobbies (Mountain Biking, Wakeboarding, PCs, RC cars) 'eat' what is left over from paying the bills...[]

[Shodog]

I am a Records Manager for my firm. I manage all of the records centers in west region of the US. I also manage the staff in San Jose Office.

Yeah, I looked for that one too, before posting, but nothing came up!

It definately wasn't on Roby's though!

Cheers,

[Bibbo]

Yeah me too.

Was'nt it titled something like "What do you do for a day job?"

[TWINSET]

If I remember rightly, the outside world got deleted a few weeks back, by management who shall remain nameless.

I used to be an industrial modelmaker, from creating and developing prototype toys for Mattel to building large scale exhibitions for museums. After being made redundant a couple of months ago I am now working towards setting up my own business covering computer building and training videos.

I work on the railway as a train driver for a freight company..It pays well but unfortunately theres a small detail that is prohibiting me from extending my collection..........It's called a wife and two children [] [] But thats life...

The job is interesting as no two days are the same,Drive to different places, different situations etc..

(I wonder if there are any other railway workers who use this site[?])

I used to work in motorcycle grand prix racing. It used to be called 500GP's, then it was called GP1 and now it's called motoGP. It's the motorcycle equivilent of F1 car racing.

Anyway, I was a mechanic for about 8 years and then spent a year as a co-ordinator which means booking all the flights, hotels, hire cars. Organising frieght transportation, entertaining sponsors and basically everything except ride a bike or fix a bike!!...

Worked for some good teams using Factory NSR Honda's. Repsol Honda, Shell Advance Honda and Kanemoto Racing.

When your rider wins a race it's the best feeling in the world, but all that travelling and fixing crashed bikes got too anoying.

[]So now I don't do anything except play with toy cars.[]

I started the exact same thread before the 'outside world' was deleted. It is good to see it starting again and looking popular already. At the moment I'm a student but will however become a technology teacher as of August this year. I cant wait to be earning proper money for doing a worthwhile job. I guess I will maybe add a few cars to my collection but I will need my own house to keep them in. As of August getting my own place becomes the priority.

[Twmaster]

I am a displaced IT person. Yea! Go Dot Bombs!! I am selling stuff on eBay and working as a stagehand on referral from the local union.

Cheers,

I work as an architectural technoligist, which means I get to design buildings..........it's like playing with lego but on a grander scale!!!!

[fury_dice(2)]

I always tell people I count books! (sounds better than IT). Seriously though, working as database and software developer for the company that produce the UK and Australian book charts. See the best seller lists in the papers on a Saturday? Well that's my random number generator, er, computer system.

[BalmyBaldwin]

hi all!

I am a graduate IT trainee in a big (German) insurance company in the UK, working mainly on corporate projects (business process re-engineering). - Slowly paying off all my debts and things, and trying to save for a Bruiser! - Why is it that I am worse off now then when I was a student?

[Bill Wessels(2)]

I appraise forclosed properties for a real estate company, sell on eBaY, fiddle with RC cars, and am presently devoting WAY too much time

trying to house-break "Bud", my Bassett Hound puppy.[xx(]

[njmlondon]

I work for a recruitment consultancy in London... joined it when it was a 4 man start-up in '97 after selling (and drinking) wine for a living for 5 years.

I live in envy of two people (one real and one fiction)... their answers to this question were...

"I race cars, play tennis and chase women... but I am my own boss and I never work weekends" (Dudley Moore as Arthur)

"Occupation - Racing Driver... Profession - Gentleman" Rob Walker (owner of privateer entry cars in the GT races in the 60's including Stirling Moss's Ferrari 250GTSWB.

Somehow recruitment just does not cut it!!!

[Igottamiya]

I work for large US investment bank in the City (London).

I'm not a trader - just a regular IT bod that looks after backup and recovery (for the IT guys out there we backup 7TB of changed data every night).

[Fusion-Hobbies]

I work as a Project Engineer for a local membrane switch company. Before that I was working in the Design and R&D department using Autocad and Pro-E.
