I am just wondering what everyone does for a living?

If you are retired what did you do prior to your retirement?

If you are a professional musician what job did you have before that?

and to include those of you that are not of legal age to work. what do you want to do in the future? besides being a rock star


I currently waste time surfing the web, hanging out out on this forum and working on personal projects while in an engineering lab 8 hours a day
and yesterday I named some more of the equipment

Electrical supervisor after being at the coal face so to speak as an electrician in the steel industry since i did an apprenticeship.

Had a paper round for 4 years- my first job.

Then, all the time I was in education, pursued a career in a variety of pubs and restaurants.

Now I've finished my education with a shiny new music degree, I currently...

- Play guitar in the session band for a singing academy
- Am starting a job at British Gas on Monday
- Have an interview with a surveying company tomorrow
- Potential career as a guitar tutor if I don't like either of the jobs I'm starting/going for

A lot of time needed. But it's all good fun!

36 years with a large transportation company. Survived a couple of short layoff's and filed the time as a car salesman for a Chevy dealer. Then a short stay with the Boeing co. Just about everyone in Seattle worked there at one time or another. I retired in 2001 as a mid level Manager/Administrator at the age of 55.
