I was a mining engineer specialised in explosives for 18 years - travelled the world and blew stuff up, but I only used my powers for good and not evil. h34r: :lol:

Been a full time professional brewer now for 8 months and it's well worth the pay cut. :icon_chickcheers:

Cheers, Andrew.

Was an IT manager for a large Telco, but I have just moved across to TYCO/ADT into their Research and Product Development area.

I get to play with crazy gadgets all day and then Drink beer all night - isn't life grand

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

 

[Doogiechap]

Good stuff mate. I'm on from 2pm, so if its the arvo or evening one it will be me...




Just commercial stuff bloke - Qantas 74's and 76's... we probably know a lot of the same people though.. lot of the guys i worked with did that. Were you with L3 or whatever they were called?

As I was doing my Apprenticeship I was moved around a bit on Seahawk manufacture and the PC9 loomshop but spent most of my time on F18 dispatch. Great job, I used to get exited about going to work :lol: .

I was in the building and construction industry for 20 yrs mainly solid plastering.The last 3 yrs I have been a sole parent to my 2 boys .working in the building game again would be like having a holiday.

I voted office worker because it seemed like the closest option to a chem lab. Reality is I have access to iodine/iodide, phosphoric acid, deionised and polished (0.22m filtered) water, autoclaves.

[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

Cheers Ross

[glennheinzel]

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!
