Hi all,
thought I would bump this thread as it is interesting to see the diverse jobs that home brewers do
I am sure that there have been many changes in occupations since 2007.
Hopefully less bloody IT people
Cheers

Hi Chris,

I am an agronomist, I give farmers advice on crop management and do some research and development with new varieties and new management practices. At the moment I am working on sugarcane and soybean crops. In the past I worked with sorghum and cotton, and yes, Barley that nobel crop.

I gotta go now and check for insect pests in a soybean crop, in the rain...

Building industry (7th generation) specifically structural steel fabrication (though I personally cant weld) I'm in management and prior to this job I was a drafty working on many of the high profile construction jobs around australia.
The company I work for is owned by my old man and we specialise in structural steel for schools (I've currently got about 45 school buildings on the books at various stages of fabrication and erection), hospitals, tafes, unis etc. We do occasionally do the big warehouse (I've done a warehouse which is over 1.2km long) type projects but mostly we dont compete well in that sector of the industry.

And no we dont do stainless welding.

I sit behind this computer for 8 hours a day

trying to find parts and tools for the people in the mining industry either they are down the road or they are in some back shed in the USA I have to try and find them

every thing from a 500 gram box of bicarb to a 20,000 t jack stand to a complete crane rebuild

We currently have a brand new 50cc scooter sitting in our store along side $100,000 worth of welding equipment sitting next to some rail road spikes/nails then next to that a heap of apprentice tool kits all reddy to go out to to customers

every day is something different

[Pollux]

Seller of hopes and dreams at over inflated prices.....aka Casino dealer.


Absolutely none of my work skills translate into brewing, but my parenting skills do transfer to work, you'd be amazed the similarities between a chronic gambler and a 3 year old.....

 

[WSC]

Marketing for mega telco. h34r: .....love to hear all your telco stories or how all marketers are dodgy airy fairy ******s.........NOT! :angry:

Brewing is my creative outlet, soccer is my physical, landscaping and gardening 1 acre combines both.....and so does being a Dad.

I love how lots of people's work defines them as a person...not me...only one reason I work and I live in it and with them......
