While at school I worked nights in the local KFC and weekends at Bullens Animal World (anyone remember that), left school and hit the road with Bullens doing such shows as Disney on Parade and Moscow Circus etc, then got a job as store manager with KFC for awhile but left to go overseas with another circus. Came back to Australia with fiance so time to "grow up" as I was told and took on the lease of a Golden Fleece Roadhouse at Collector NSW (perhaps I cooked your breakfast some time). The Highway eventually bypassed us and the fiance had long gone so I travelled O/S for 12 months getting a job in a pub in London when the money ran out. Came back to Australia in '84 and worked for Telecom for short while till I got a job in the fire brigade and like Glen says

I reckon 99% retire from this job, very few resign and move on.

I retired from it last year after 21+ years

and I have loved every minute of every piece of my life

[rod@plasterbrok]

Plasterer by trade.

Still keep my hand in on difficult work not to be trusted to a contractor!

Run a plaster contracting business in Melbourne. As well as plasterboard sales.

In my spare time I maintain a DIY web site for plastering.

I love the plasterboard industy my first job was selling plasterboard.I have had the great fortune to have been involved in just about every aspect of my trade.

Now I enjoy sharing that knowledge with others.

[q9]

No idea. I work in multi-media now, in the true sense of the word. Film, TV commercials, interactive CD's/DVD's, website production, streaming media, internet broadcasting, etc.

I seem to do a lot of "delegating"

[Afro Boy]

Manager in an ITS department at a somewhat elitist business school. I manage the team responsible for delivering new software, project management, etc.

I absolutely love it.

I love it because of the people. The work is usually interesting, but the people are great. Reasonably flexible work ours too which is a bonus.

1. What you do for work
2. Do you like it
3. Why

From the start:
Hand and Machine compositor apprentice/Printing plate maker 8.5 years
Navy as a Clearance Diver- told them to jam it after 53 days
Graphic Reproducer/Team Leader/Branch Manager 9.2 years
Pre Press Supervisor 11 years and still going.

OK
Hated it, place was full of idiots.
Good for about 8 years
Good for 7 years, went bad for 12 months, has come good again

It pays the bills.

[LotteBum]

I'm a secretary/personal assistant. Don't mind it - it pays the bills, hours are reasonable and it keeps the old brain ticking away.

At the moment, however, I'm off work indefinitely waiting for this baby to pop out. Looking after one of them is a role I haven't given much thought - it's quite frightening to think about.
