I'm a Geek working in a big Hunter Valley coal mine, doing everything from support and sysadmin through to architecture and integration.
 
I try not to work but music, photography and the odd job has at times kept me out of the brewery or from the bar :( not often though :p .
 
Wes n Warren....as with all apprenticeships we had to do a day at college. Imagine 30 apprentice typesetters going to the pub at lunch and getting back and sitting down to do typing lessons by this old nanna with a bun hair style, tweed jacket and skirt to match......oh it was hilarious! I think she retired soon afterwards!
Cheers

IT manger by day and muso by night. Brewing is squeezed into the middle.
 
Currently an estimator in the print industry.

Its definately changed eh Warren? I started my time in 86 on an old compugraphic typesetting system....then PCs were invented about the same time and as I was the apprentice I was sent off to learn this new fangled computer system. I can still remember the day I drew a box on the screen instead of using commands!
Cheers

Guy's I can do one better ...
We still have a working Ludlow typesetter here at work.
it's just getting hard to get the slugs.

I remember the old trade school in North Melb had a whole floor for a drum scanner that now fit's on your desktop.
 
I'm an electical designer for a major electricity supplier.
Think halfway between electrician and engineer, and that's where I lie.
Design surf email design surf email. It's all good.
 
I juggle alot, not enough hours on a day. I am sure many others are the same.

Stockbroker during days, rugby coach at nights and Sat and love cycling ride daily.

brew on

Security work in pubs/clubs, both camera control and on the floor.. very shit job, but it pays the bills and stops me spending up big going down the pub with my mates all the time..

Looking at other jobs at the moment, customs, police force, mines... who knows, but WA looks like a bloody great state.. NSW is in a rut.
 
used to be in the Army
still work for Defence but as a public servant
basically push a pen around
pay is OK but public service perks are good
 
used to study chemistry at uni but have now changed to BEng Mechanical...
 
I now own a finance company South Melbourne, lend money etc...

before that used to own a Caryard.. before that a Carpenter!!
:blink:
 
Agricultural Science graduate, turned IT network administrator (read: geek)...
 
Electrician in Starch plant which produces dextrins, gluten and glucose from wheat flour.

I have an electrical engineering diploma in industrial electronics and PLC's

cheers
 
Don't really fit into any of the catagories above. Fitter & turner by trade but in forced retirement due to a bad surfing accident 12 years ago. Lots of time to brew & still in the process of completing my setup. If only I'd found AG 12 years ago :rolleyes: . I like my lawns, gardens, etc. Still manage to pick up the occasional wave. Still trying to find the will to increase my computer literacy but sampling my brews gets in the road. :lol: See the glass? --- Tide's in\Tide's out.

:beer:
 
Armourer. Bombs, bullets and bullshit for me!
 
Yet another IT geek here. Many years writing code. Went over to the dark side a few years ago and switched to project management.

On weekends I play at being a professional photographer (when I'm not renovating my house).

Cheers

Telecommunications technician turned IT/Stats nerd. Still do tech stuff were posible. Mostly just a cube dwelling corporate wage slave. Good money but too much corporate bull$h!t.

I ride to work every day dreaming of working as either a cycle courier or brewer.
