IT support monkey for a consultancy firm, currently supporting a large law firm.
Work from home, combination of nights and weekend days, and go to London 6 days in every 4 weeks.
Got into it from studying in IT, knowing someone who aided me getting the first interview, and gone from there.
Shifts are hard, but work is fairly easy.
12 years later, would still like another career, but pays for my toys, holidays and house.

Commissioning Engineer - working in the Power Sector of the Combustion Industry.
I got into the role through an Apprenticeship with my employer, which I finished in 2006. I transferred straight into our Service department, and did 4.5yrs in our Industrial sector, before moving to the Power sector late in 2010.
I travel worldwide to work on Power Generation Boilers, fuelled primarily by varying types of Oil & Gas.
My Employer designs & manufactures Burner equipment, Fuel Skids, Control Systems & Ancillaries for these applications.
I work in a Multi-Skilled area, dealing with both Mechanical & Electrical commissioning, as well as with the varying Control systems & ancillaries that are supplied. I also work on the Combustion control to aim to achieve optimum performance, both from an operational point of view as well as reduced emissions etc.
The applications I see most regularly are pretty big pieces of kit generally too.

Marketing Assistant at a full service office supplies chain - I don't hate it...
I do planning, handling, layout and execution of all offline and online marketing campaigns.
There's elements I love and elements I don't care for.
Worst thing is that it doesn't pay very well.
Best thing is that I'm not employed on a set amount of hours. I can come and go as I please as long as I get my jobs done.
Next job I get I want to be part of a team as I'm alone most of the time and really miss the sparring.

I don't mind it, better than the dole plus 80% of the females there are fit as fuck! 
Spend more time eyeing them up than actually working

I'm an aircraft electrician. I work on eurofighter typhoon flight testing.
Was in the RAF for 7 years previously working first line on harriers and then nimrod.
Love my job. lots of money for very little work really.
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.

Its usually both get shipped off and instantly sacked on all the shell platforms we work on.
