NFR - How do we all earn a crust?

[leonffc]

I'm a student studying Civil Engineering in Nottingham. Looking for a sandwich year placement currently so I can earn some dough and get to the cottage more often.

Studying? From what I've seen of your FB account, it looks like you're a full time piss head!!

I, on the otherhand, am a hard working maintenance electrician / engineer / jack of all trades master of none type character.

Is that not what the whole student/studying thing is? Maybe I'm confused by the whole concept.
I do work fairly hard sometimes.

Two jobs:
1. Set up a goose control business around New York with my wife that she now now runs using trained Border collies (sheepdogs) to chase geese off schools, corporate campuses, cemeteries and gated communities.  I still train the dogs a bit and do some light duties here and there.  If you don't believe it (and I sometimes pinch myself at the thought that we started this business ten years ago and it's still thriving), check out the videos on the website: http://www.geeseoff.com/new-york/westchester/geese-videos.php
2.  My latest mission is setting up a grass-fed (no corn, grain, hormones, antibiotics) sheep-farming and pasture-fed poultry operation where we're reclaiming land that's going back to wilderness.  Again, that's probably hard to believe from Blightey, but there are hundreds of thousands of acres of former farm land that have returned or are returning to wilderness here in the northeast US. In the last few months we've found 240 acres on three properties within 8 miles where the owners are happy for us to graze our sheep for nothing.

How do you set up one of those poll things on here.
We need to vote on whether 'nogoodboyo's' jobs are real.

It's 'no good getting a conventional job now' is it?

Leon - very good idea.

Where there is happiness I bring sadness and where there is goodness I bring evil. I wear a cloak and stand on top of tall buildings. For I am the Shadow Monster. I eat the souls of the lost and the weary. For I am the Shadow Monster. I haunt the living and the desperate who are ...um....desperate and living. For I am the Shadow Monster. Where hope still ....Oh look out Nurse is coming, pretend to be asleep. :55:

After 15 years as a copper (yep Malone I WAS one), I emigrated to the US and started programming professionally. Now, after 13 years slogging it, I'm a senior applications developer for one of the largest independent Financial Brokerage firms, specializing in .NET, BI and SQL applications, and a certified MS DBA. Hey, it was my hobby for 14 years, I just make money out of what I love to do, that's all.

I am retired from the third of my careers. I do volunteer work for four non-profits, plus my church, and perform in a rock n' roll band, so I'm busy enough.

Nick,

That's easy. All you have to do is advertise that yiu can actually straiten your legs during the flight (without standing up) and the food won't make you ill.  That is of course if you actually get any food.  Job done! :drums:

Heh, well as we're a no-frills airline (nope, not even close to Ruin Air) we don't include catering, but of course availble. Whit regards to leg room, I'd say it's average at best as we only operate Turbo-prop planes. The job is however great as I get to pick on the 'bad guys' in the industry on a daily basis (i.e. SAS, Ryan Air et al)  :011:

Don't think the russkies have many propeller planes these days  :005:

Come to think of it, maybe I should grab a waterproof marker and sneak outside to name one of the planes "the Fulham Flyer"  098.gif
