NFR - How do we all earn a crust?

[Ron Sheepskin]

Stumbling across the revelation that our very own Admin is a tree surgeon, I found myself wondering what everybody does for a living. I know, for example, that Fred works on the bins for the council, and Owen is striving for accountancy qualifications - but what about the rest of us?

I'll start. Nothing exciting - I've spent many years as a database designer and developer and am now the assistant IT manager for a legal firm in the City.  085.gif

I teach grads and undergrads at uni ("teaching assistant) and write (in this case finish) a PhD. From September 1st onwards, I'll be unemployed though (contract ends, non-renewable).

[The Doctor]

Consultant for a hydrology firm.  Bloody lucky to have this job, so grafting hard to fly through my probation.

Sipwell, good luck with the post-PhD job hunting mate.  I was there only a few months ago and it can be a long, hard and (at times) soul-destroying process

3 things,
1. im a full time Uni student studying Psychology.

2. I work part time in a liquor store for extra cash.

3. I am a freelance musician, writing 'score' music for short films, commercials, plays, specific parts of feature films etc. This is starting to take off big time (got a job working on a new cartoon for Nickelodeon) so I think the above two will be put on hold for a while!

I also play in a band that gets quite a few shows in my city/sydney, but all the money we get on the night usually goes straight back into 'fun' and then whatever is left is spent on more music gear. I guess that makes it a hobby.

Have my own business, sell football kit and equipment (goals, nets, balls, coaching stuff, field liners etc etc.). Also, coach a high school girls footie team (for pocket money) and volunteer ski instructor to disabled (for free ski passes which are really bloody expensive these days).

[Jack Fulham]

Work part time at Sandown Park but I'm in my 2nd year of College at the moment. Being under 18 means I get £4.75 per hour which quite frankly sucks but I can't be bothered to look for another job at the moment.

Perhaps, seeing as it's Christmas, this thread could be turned into a parlour game , much in the style of "What's My Line?" ..?

Now, who's going to be Eamonn Andrews, and who's first with a mime of their job (could be a bit tricky on here !)... ?
