Hi all, sorry if its a repost.
Ive come to the decision that my job is SHHIIITE! Need to do something different i think. I was just wondering what everyone on here did for a living as i cant decide what i want to do and thought you lot might have something that appeals to me.
So if you fancy it just post:
-Who you work for,
-What it is that you do there,
-How you came about ending up in said job.
 Cheers

Arriva Trains Wales
I'm a train dispatcher, basically I get the trains on their way safely, shut doors after lazy people, point out the bleeding obvious, shout lots and drink tea 
I have a bit of a railway family, saw it advertised on their website, was a bit fed up of my shift management job in mcdonalds so thought to hell with it!

shite  depends which company you work for, i'm on £16.5k atm, but with first great western just over the bridge in bristol they get £18.5k and network rail dispatchers at the bigger stations are stupidly paid for half the hassle. Once you move up the ladder to things like guard, driver etc etc the money is very good for a job you can go into with little qualifications.

i work for Bae systems. I'm an aircraft electrician and specialise in high speed data bus and electronic counter measures. I got the job after hearing and advert on the radio and having seven years prior experience in military aircraft avionics from being in the raf
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
