Decent Wedge, Company Car with private use/fuel paid for, Opportunity for lots of Worldwide Travel, Jobs vary from day to day (eg. Last week I went from working in a Nuclear Power Station to a small Powdercoating/Finishing Unit)
I like it, good opportunities for the Future too 
I've been offered a job with Hamworthy Heating, they any good then?

-Who you work for - Police
-What it is that you do there - Police Officer - Ignore crime, eat donuts, persecute innocent motorists, harass modified car drivers (all according to most stereotypes of police on here). In reality i spend loads of time dealing with low-level crime; drugs, theft, damage, drink drivers, antisocial behaviour, neighbour disputes, Facebook and MSN jobs and looking for wayward runaway kids. Find the odd few minutes to deal with motoring offences, but not very often.
How you came about ending up in said job - Thought about it for years, applied and went through the world's longest application process and ended up where I want to be.
