What do you do for a living?

[Fishwife]

I am a retired nurse. I used to be an assistant manager ìn a nursing home for elderly people with mental health problems.

I 'retired' almost a decade ago at the age of 30 to look after my kids. Prior to that I worked for local government in both Financial and Electoral Services and the also for the UK Consulate in Madrid. I'm lucky in that I don't need to work anymore, don't feel like going back either. What I do now is harder than any job I've had but I do miss the intellectual stimulation.

I bet Madrid was amazing!

 

[GreenStar]

Accounts Assistant at an offshore engineering company. Not much more to add to that lol!

Do you get to sample the ice cream all the time??

Hahaha yeah but I’m sorta sick of it I’ve been here for about a year and a bit now!

I bet Madrid was amazing!

It was. The most amazing city and I miss it every single day. However, having to liaise with Spanish police/prisons when rowdy Brits got arrested was not so much fun

 

[ginamarcella]

I'm currently getting a law degree in Germany and I work as a translator on the side!

 

[Diha]

I’m a social worker, working in family and children services/child protective services

 

[Sogdhitalley]

Full time dole bum. This entails letting my kids do whatever the duck they want, I get my benefits on a Friday and by Monday they're all gone. Most of it up my nose, in my lips or on my face. These benefits never give me enough for nappys, milk, electric and gas though. bleeps. I miss Jezza Kyle and seeing my mates on it most days.

In all seriousness, I actually work with Children.

I'm a plumber for the local authority, we often joke in our section that the job would be a breeze if there were no tenants but there are some really nice ones out there who do look after their homes even though they don't own them!

[Lizzie Mintdrop]

Benefits officer for a local authority. It was interesting and challenging before UC came in, now it's repetitive with the odd juicy claim to get stuck into

 

[Mememe9]

Random but I work in utilities doing streetworks. Be interesting to know if anyone else does?

 

[Interestingbitsnbats]

Amazing jobs people have I'm in fast food hours and shift patterns are starting to grind on me now after 5years.
Used to be a shop manager and a bar manager

 

[Patsy Stone]

Travel Agent. As you can imagine it’s a barrel of laughs at the moment

 

[iknowevery1]

I'm a fashion editor & consultant

 

[ChubsterMcGubster]

I work on insurance - regulation and compliance. I do enjoy it but often contemplate looking for ‘something Else’ but feel that I don’t really have any transferable skills....

 

[Koakes]

Pediatric Nurse. But thinking about going back to school to do something in the mental health field instead

[Chickenandgravy]

[Curly Top]

Retired now, but I used to be a journalist working in the trade press - in marketing. It was an interesting time - I used to write about Customer Related Marketing, e.g. when Tesco etc first launched their club cards. It was the biggest deal then.
