My profession is school I get paid zilch for a 7 hour day and in a few years it's going to start costing me as that nice man mr cameron decided to make my life a joy by bumping up the uni fees it's not all bad, I work part time in my pros shop, I generally do whatever needs doing (except the lessons, I think he'd run out of customers pretty quick if I did those ) its pretty fun, plus I get free range balls an employees discount and hours in the company of lots of shinies!

I head up a server support team for a large insurance company. Meetings, meetings and more meetings with lots of three letter acronyms.

I am also judgemental I thought it was just us IT folk who sat on forums all day

Sadly I am run of my feet all day every day without fail. This forum is my lunchtime treat or occasionally I hop on when on boring conference calls.

A Lawyer - run my own business specialising in Legal Cost issues, more of a cross between a Solicitor and Accountant, pretty boring but pays the Bills

Despite my scouse background the office is Based near Manchester and we are always on the lookout for new staff if there is anyone with a law, maths or English degree looking for a new challenge.

[NWJocko]

I do a bit of a weird job that can best be described as audit on a very specific part of a global bank. I, and my teams, are responsible for all European subsidiaries and dealing with their regulators.

Really quite interesting stuff (if you're that way inclined right enough).

And no, I am not "a banker" that is responsible for the financial crisis :ears:
