I'm a simple office monkey for a local charity in the voluntary sector, it's nothing spectacular but it gives me something to do during the day and pays just about enough to keep a roof over my head with enough left over for a couple of luxuries each month. As a side I do a couple of non-profit/voluntary bits to keep me entertained and help out people in the local area. I quite like my job, it has a fair amount of extremely dull moments but for the most it's a good simple job and allows me to meet a lot of interesting people. Plus my manager is great and quite flexible with the use of toil... so if I find myself bashing my head on the desk after 3/4 of a day of impossible clients, he'll let me slink off for the last bit of the day or have half of the following day off to chill out. When I eventually get around to doing my driver's license, I'll probably start looking around for a better paying job (so I can actually think about saving to buy a house)... probably either something based around IT or electronics, or a job as a chef in a restaurant.
Course Leader/Lecturer at Uni. I run one of the Photography Degree courses. I have a BA(Hons) and MA. Trying to decide whether to do a doctorate or not... just so people will call me Dr [edit] I like it.. not sure I LOVE it... but it's a fine job. I just think I'll never be fully happy until I can afford to not work... which is unlikely.
Data Centre Professional for a relatively large telecommunications company based in the United Kingdom which has a worldwide customer base. Our main Scottish Dat Centre is in Glasgow but we do have outlying comms rooms elsewhere in the central belt which we also support on an on-call basis thus the reason for a company vehicle being supplied. I do enjoy my job, although please do bear in mind I'm writing this after two weeks leave, having exerpienced the lovely weather we've enjoyed in Scotland to its fullest! Due to start back at work tomorrow athough I'm actually on-call from today. We do get to play with the latest and greatest kit, although we are currently deploying a load of HP Blade Chassis and servers. Haven't seen as many SSD's in one place before this delivery! We do have training provided, currently got my HP Accreditation on Proliant ML/DL/SL servers and will be taking the c-Class Blade exam this week. The pay, on-call allowance, overtime, bonus and pension arrangements are pretty good but our union isn't as good as the team member union which normally results in us on the professional and managerial framework being screwed over each year. For this reason I'm tempted to cancel my Union subscription as that'll asve me nearly £15 a month down the drain!
I have a pretty sweet gig, work nights at a hotel. I do about 1 hours work a night max most nights and the rest of it is just sitting in the office with my laptop and dongle, where I can study and do game design freelance work which further increases my income. It's pretty tough in the Winter months as I see little daylight, and in the summer can miss a good chunk of some nice days, but it's worth the trade off. I've done way too many jobs in the paste I hated and now at least work is the least of my problems.
I design lightning conductors and full building surge protection (any questions on surge protection, let me know). Interesting work, great pay, office based (along with regular office hours) and pretty enjoyable. I hope to be doing this for as long as they will let me. I also get a few other bits and pieces to do such as product design (am listed as inventor on 1 patent so far) and also help out with hardware specs and building (I put together the majority of our comms room) for our IT guy, he is awesome with software and configuration but not as interested in hardware as me.
Unemployed, but I do voluntary work 3 days a week in the head office of a mental health charity, and I enjoy it. I actually enjoy it way more than any paid job I've ever had.
I work in a call centre. The job and money is ****. We're all being made redundant in June. However, I work with a fantastic bunch of people and we have some great nights out.
Sometimes. The majority of my job is designing the equipment we crash things with, but I've done some data analysis too.
im a IT tech at two primary schools. I love the jobs as the pay is good and i get lots of holiday! oh and they have paid for me to do a MCSE
More than full time student, along with occasional handyman type work for family and friends. Hoping to get an on-campus IT job next year
Instrument and Control Engineer for a petrochemical plant. A rare earth plant will be built nearby. I wonder if I should quit and move out.
IT technician in a local high school for the past year, having worked in a middle school as a techie for 3 years prior to that. do I enjoy it? yes and no...I like the job, but it is a bit easy at times, also will be switching jobs for the third time in as many years come September...the local authority are changing the school to a 2 tier system rather than the 3 tier we currently opperate (primary-high) rather than primary-middle-high...hence why I moved from the middle to a high. still mass redundancys and pay cuts, we have recently lost our network manager and his job has been sheared out between thoes who are left and I've just been given my new job spec and pay grade...I could clean toilets and earn more, not that there is anything wrong with scrubbing shitters but they are taking the piss a bit : ( *rant over* sorry. have no formal qualifications appart from an nvq level 2... I do believe you can obtain thoes with enough cerial box tokens >.<
A company called Vroon Offshore. We have ships all over the world covering a multitude of typrs of ships.
I did a brief stint of work for Vroon in 2009, they had a brand spanking new ship come into Aberdeen harbour - most impressive.
I currently work as an IT Consultant. I enjoy the job but my real love is writing, and I hope some time in the future to do it full-time.
