[Dave86]

Haven't looked back through the thread entirely but I'm sure there's some other uni students on here, so I'm mostly unemployed at the moment, which does leave lots of time for brewing/drinking/hangovers

Other than brewing and being in my third year of trying to become a pharmacist, I don't do a lot else, I'd say I'll get back into the footy when I'm out of uni, I'm just enjoying being a slob at the moment!

Beers

Edit: Forgot to add, I am employed sometimes, I work full time in my uni hols in the local pharmacy at home, so I do on occasion do a days work

 

[bljpoad]

Unemployed - still at uni doing a PhD in chemistry. Not quite figured out how I can use the lasers I work with to make beer yet........one day though

[uneekwahn]

about 15 years ago I worked in IT at a couple of larger, well known places here in Perth. I got bored of IT and took a pay cut to become a pleb doing data entry at a health insurance company, and then somehow ended up becoming an investigator, then an analyst then acting manager of the health fund's investigations area and now I'm a senior investigations analyst.

I look at numbers all day looking for patterns and fraud.

woohoo.

If only you could develop a system that reduces the 12 week lead time on pipework, you would make my job so much easier....

[Ross]

Sold my recycling business in Brisbane 6 months ago & now taking life pretty easy - Currently buying scrap metal from the around the world & selling principally to China... Spend approx 4 months a year travelling overseas working/playing hard... Always good to get home to a well stocked ale fridge...

UPDATE.......

How times change.... Gone from semi retirement to a full time job supplying Craft Brewing supplies around the globe.
Father & Son business, but now also employing 2 daughters & my wifes patience -
The friends I've made through this business though, are the real reward

I do sales for one of the big three financial market data companies. We're kind of like a wholesaler of market data as we sell to banks, fund managers, government departments and academics who analyse our data to generate research, make investment decisions or shape fiscal policy.

My parents tell their friends that I work with computers.

 

[Fents]

so your the one that gives out my number to telemarketers! blasphemy!
