I've been a vet for nearly 39 years, now work mainly with horses and just a few farm animals. I still count myself lucky to have had the best job in the world....

Bloody hell you must be busy
Only joking, their reliability has improved substantially in the last five years and two of the best cars I have had have been Alfa's and if the Guiletta had been out a month earlier I would have had that instead of the Audi A3

I am a Railway Engineer.
I repair & maintain HST 125, Sprinters, Shunters & anything else that comes through the door.
I work 4 on 4 off (days & nights) even with a bit of overtime I still have quite a bit of time for golf.
It's nice in the summer, I come straight off nights & go up the course for a round.

Possibly, maybe, if you work with the real stuff [film], I've processed negative you may have loaded... Been in film labs for 40+ years... Got put out the door last September from Denham... Got some casual work back at the 'colour over the X'mas period but they are shutting down their release print operation so looks like I'll be going down the road again in the near future... It goes without saying I hate the digital age :angry:...

I'm a snr technical architect working in IT. Build solutions for the enterprise which involve wireless networks, mobile computing , barcode scanning, RFID, biometrics, video analytics, etc.
One of the most interesting projects in my 20 years, was working with the European Tour way back when. Before I was madly into golf it must be said. Supported a wireless mesh network that was deployed at tour events. The scorers used palm mobile devices to report the score back to the Unisys Leaderboard - real time. No pressure!
Before the time of distance measuring devices, the same system provided distance to pin information for Sky. Believe it or not this was no more scientific than a person using a strokesaver and gauging where the golf ball was and then typing a yardage into a mobile computer. I think things are done a bit differently now.

I'm often intrigued why people ask what others do for a living as to me it means nothing, nor does what you earn. Pubs are great places as you are judged on your chat and character and that's the way it should be. Forums are more awkward as it can be tricky to judge somebodies carachetr but you can still be friendly, helpful and dish out banter.
I'm amazed so many people have replied and no-ones said sod off but then maybe that's me showing my character.
As for my job, it's in my profile.

That should get you lots of visits to your profile, and they'll all be none the wiser like me.
I'm in sales, can't believe I haven't read of one sales job yet. I work in specified sales for air conditioning and heating equipment, basically trying to get the company named in building specifications.

I'm a Business Development manager.
It's a tough job with lot's of internal politics involved as I work for a big financial company but it pays the bills I guess.
Even though the money wouldn't be as good, I would still love to be a fireman. But you have to be black, gay or female to get in these days. (Quote from the Sussex fire chief).
Golf Club Manager.Great job,tough at times during the current economic climate but it's a great way to spend a working week.

That is two different things. Asking what someone does for a living is general polite conversation. What someone earns is no one elses business.
Can't understand what the problem is with knowing what someone does for a living. Might just come in handy if you are looking for someone in that profession. At my club I have used the services of at least three members, who I wouldn't have if I didn't know what they did.
Personally never judge someone by what they do, and certainly not by what they earn.

Denham... Is that Deluxe? Yeah I still load 35mm, past few jobs have been on film, however a lot of it is digital! How did you deal with the chemical induced headaches?! Every time I spent time in a lab I had a pounding headache!!
