what do you do for a living

I'm just curious as we have such a wide range of people on here.

I was in the Royal air force till 04 and these days i'm a lowly lorry driver.

I'm a musician and recording artist. I was a sculpture assistant for about 5 years before making the move into full on musicianship. It is the most rewarding job in the world although it is hard to make a huge amount of money unless you sell your soul.

I wouldn't say lorry drivers are lowly.. A study I saw years ago (can't remember where) stated people who do driving jobs, are some of the most intelligent people..
Some of the reasons for this was the brain has been trained for memory, (remembering roads, especially which roads trucks can use etc) recognition, (because drivers usually use landmarks to memorize different routes) also their brains are always alert and active (as opposed to a mind numbing office job) there were many more which I can't remember just now, I'll add them if I do.
(there was something about a-z reading aswell, but with modern technology, such as sat nav's i don't think that really applies these days)

I'm an author.

I'm also self-sufficient (which is a full time job in it's self).

Systems engineer.

Favorite pastimes: Mixing vinyl, producing music, graphics/video editing and lots of other stuff

I'm a teaching assistant with special needs children. I am however, getting to old to keep up. Probably will be my last year doing this

i always did brilliant in school and can pick anything up very easily (skill wise) but have spent my entire working life so far jumping between warehouses trying to pay bills. i am only 25 so still got time to do something, thing is, i dont have a clue what i want to do and even if i did the only jobs available at the moment in my area are warehouse and factory work.... bummer

I have been in the printing and mailing business for the last 10 years. Unfortunately the outlook is not good for my field though....thanks to these new fangled computer thingys and thier fancy internet e-mail chat!!!

Carpenter of twenty five years and an x- Scuba Diving Instructor. I enjoy them both, however neither one seems to be too recession proof these days so work is slow

I'm in my last few months of a four-year degree in art. Printmaking and painting. Reading ATS next to my snoring significant other, at 0430 in the desert pre-dawn heat.

I forgot to mention that my significant other makes a living by teaching people to fly, and bend reality. While he's asleep, I mean. Somethimes one's job is not one's "mission"

why does everyone have cool jobs but me
