  I'm an ER clerk at a level 1 trauma center so when people are in some horrific accident I get to go through their wallets and ask their family members about insurance and social security numbers, lol. It's a fun job, lots of excitement, but it's also stressful, it's definitely like some sort of clerical abattoir and hardly anyone stays long. I've come to like it a lot but the pay sucks so I won't be doing it forever.

  Great thread so far all, interesting hearing just how everyone keeps busy! Makes my marketing 'fluff' seem boring :)

  Among many other things, I did direct care with a paranoid schizophrenic mentally retarded adult for 22 years. Kind of a Rainman type. Except he couldn't count cards...... ratz/

  I am a helicopter mechanic for the United States Army. My MOS is phasing out, so I was offered to have the opportunity to work on the Apache (I currently work on the Kiowa Warrior). I politely declined. So now I ride out the rest of my contract a floater. Should be interesting.

  QC for the 6th largest Pork producer in the United States... I can't say that it's fun, but it helps pay the bills :)
  
  As far as the previous 27 years of my life, that's history and would require a resume... But there are lot's of stories to go with it ;)

  I'm a Philosophy graduate, looking forward to study a Master in Teaching in order to apply to a teacher position in Spain. Which I, having account of the current unemployment rates, will get somewhere between 2023 and 2080.
  Any of you has a job for me? I can speak Galician, Spanish and a language that is somewhat similar to actual English. I can cook an average to slightly appetizing meal, perform simple household jobs and etc. :P

  Market gardener. I used to be an artist who gardened on the side and now I am a gardener who makes art on the side. I think market gardener is another way of saying very small scale farmer without being mistaken for (or subject to ridicule by) real farmers with hundreds of acres, an army of rigs, a big gorgeous barn with a cupola the size of my chicken coop and a chicken coop the size of my barn. I grow garlic bulbs for planting, herbs, hot peppers, and various perennial flowers. No tube roses. I also grow tobacco for my own use. Still learning how to cure it properly.

  Hmm. That looks like the jetty just down the street from me at Sesuit Beach. But I guess all jetties look pretty similar.

  I was an engineer in Telecoms and Manufacturing.
  
  Now I'm sent on a governemnt sheme where a girl 20 years younger tells me that I need to "change your attitude", so that I may learn to love the idea of getting a job in the local KFC. I had suggested brainwashing. Maybe suicide would also be applicable?
  
  She pisses me off. I said I wouldn't be the most suitable person to which she replies "but you could be".
  
  In a weeks time I have to attend a course called 3G Mindset in order I presume to prepare me for that glorious day when I can have access to that pantheon of chicken fat. I like to eat it occasionally but I bet all the people who work there for long are on the verge of vomiting just being around the stuff like the time i worked in a potato chip factory and had to get inside a frier the size of a small swimming pool and using a paint scraper scrape the congealed fat off the inside. From that moment I could never eat another one of the crisps and I had really liked them previoulsy.
  
  Ok my attitiude towards this does stink but is that wrong? On the other hand where I live there aren't many better jobs currently.
  
  It almost seems like one of those strange science fiction movies come true. Next they'll be rolling out The hunger Games!
