Now work for a charity, writing and editing.

I have to say I think it sums up how diverse the golfing (and GM particularly) community is, which is a good thing btw :thup:

Connor,
Thanks for the job you do, the thing to remember is without clean water life for all of us would be a lot more difficult, being able to just flush the loo is taken for granted!!!
Enjoy your golf, it makes up for all the less enjoyable things one has to do in life, and by the way you live in a loverly part of the country, I have often visited but not played a lot of golf down there.

Haha wish everyone else was so polite when I'm digging the road up or outside there house until the small hours all so they get there cuppa in the Mornin

Buddy, if you were outside my house you'd get offered a cuppa. Treat people right and they'll do a good job for you. Treat 'em like ..... and you'll get ..... back.

I work for a company that makes subframes, chassis and all the bits you don't get to see under a car for the likes of Jaguar,Ford,Volvo,Nissan,VW and Landrover.

I work on the paint line which just involved lugging heavy parts onto the paint line all day. Not the most exciteing of jobs but it keeps me fit as there is a lot of lifting ad waking back and forth all day.

Money is not too bad and since I've been there the place is completey flat out with work, even more work planned for the next 5 years or so and the company's is making record profits so at least it's a nice bit of job security which is rare these days.

On a serious note, I run our Family Coach & Bus Operation.

Tax Man ........

 

[granters]

branch manager for a construction supplies company. Hard job to be in at the moment given the economy is slowly slipping down the pan. Seen a lot of construction companies liquidated in the last few years, and been in at the thick end of the credit crunch.

we're a strong business though and have ridden the storm well. Good job given i'm only 31. Worked my way up over the last few years. We sell a massive range of things, and i get to play with power tools all day

[DappaDonDave]

Recruitment Administrator for an NHS Foundation Trust, mainly responsible for cardiology, renal, elderly care and Berkshire Cancer Centre staff. Been her enearly five years so it can't be all bad. Flexi time means half or full days once a month for golf. Get to look after lots of lovely young nurses as they go through the recruitment process so it has its good day even if it is getting to the point where I'm old enough to be their dad (bad times)

Good stuff, I'm a recruitment advisor for our local unitary authority. Started as an apprentice and have just finished a second end at north west employers as a system administrator for a failed regional portal. Twas a shame it didn't take off, but my authority is part of a larger portal. Www.yourcounciljobs.co.uk

 

[Jackooo]

I'm an unemployed lay about who sponges off the system. I occassionally shoplift if I require something or break into a motor. I dont really worry about getting caught as I knwo the judicial system in this country is laughable and I'll never get a custodial sentence.

If I'm really desperate for cash I'll do the odd days work, cash in hand so the brew know nothing about it.

When I'm not golfing I'm sitting in my house watching my 52" plasma TV or surfing the net all day thinking how great Great Britain is, so thanks to all you tax payers, my life is brilliant. Anyone fancy a pint?

You work for theDaily Mail then?!

I work in the Film Industry as a Clapper/Loader in the camera department, being self employed and working mainly between March and November, I get a lot of time off in the winter... Like now!

 

[Scazza]

Civil Servant. Department of Work & Pensions/Job Centre Plus. More specifically a Crisis Loan Decision Maker.

Will take applications for Living Expenses (Food/Gas/Electric) and make a decision on whether to award it or not. Majority of the time it won't be awarded, I feel that you really need to in a crisis and that the crisis loan is the only means by which serious risk to the individuals health & safety can be prevented.

The system is open to abuse & people certainly abuse it. If I was unemployed I'd walk the streets, visit supermarkets and ride the buses! Too many people claim to lose hundreds of £s worth of their benefit out their pocket/bag/coat whilst walking the street, doing their shopping or riding a bus.

 

[goldenbare]

I grant and renew firearms/shotgun licences so people like Wull and Snelly can go and shoot things.
