What do you do for a living?

Lau2976

I'm an artist. Started my own business in college and expanded to professional printing not too long ago.

Trainee Accountant.

When I was 16, I had a list as long as my arm of careers I was interested in. Accountancy was never one of them. Funny how life surprises you.

I instruct computers on how to properly send and receive strings of text over a network.


Ah I love it really and am pretty lucky in that regard. If I had a winfall tomorrow I'd still spend *some* time doing open source or mucking around with code in general.

Have done since 1986. International Harvester are known as Navistar International Corporation nowadays, but still use the International badge on truck products.

I'm a level 42 paladin. *takes inhaler*


I also work IT but I've been looking to bail and move into a different career for a while now, good pay but it bores me. Kinda sick to death of looking at computers, phones, printers, networks........the whole shagging lot :pac:

It was never supposed to be a permanent one and have spent my 20's doing it so wanna go off and do what I really want to do.

Have you considered the glamorous career choice of being a gigolo? I can help manage your contracts, the finances and I'll also keep you in line.

Im a professional quoter, like for example did you know "you make a living by what you get and a life by what you give"

No, I wash windows.

How did you go about that actually? Did it take long?

Something I'd seriously consider myself, if I didn't get the FE1's.

Nothing exciting I'm afraid! Got my degree in 2009. Foolishly got engaged and bought a house with my now husband so the bills had to be paid. With the recession etc there was more money in trainee accountant than trainee solicitor! And easier to get a job. Did the ACCA (took me the guts of 2-2.5 years to complete the exams, only one excemption with the LLB) and The rest is history

To be fair the LLB has stood to me big time and has helped me in my career. Always hope to go back and do the FE1s at some stage but maybe when the kids are grown up!

Are you a transpondster?


I'm currently not working. Graduated with a BCL last year but it's not the career path for me. Looking into re-training as a make-up artist in September.

Ah you can't deny its a cracking job though! Maybe even recession proof, with insolvency and all that. Were the exams hard?

I wash ducks for a living. Plenty of money in washing them ducks.

I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

I'm a part time soccer coach in schools. It can sometimes feel like a glorified baby sitting job but sometimes you just get to have a good game of ball with the kids and they love it.
