What do you do for work?

Man of many hats, Customer service supervisor/office manager/logistics-warehouse manager/ estimator and the general fix it person when problems occur and need sorting...............working for a National distributor of electrical bits n pieces, mainly supplying Switchboard builders, electrical contractors, manufacturers, the mining sector and electrical wholesalers.

In my previous life I used to be an electronics tech, playing with high field magnets (the ones used for MRI scanners etc)........... that was great fun, got to play with liquid hydrogen and helium - when the MRI operators ask you to please remove metal objects before entering the room, it's a good idea to do as they say.......... I've seen hammers and power supplies being sucked into these things from 10m away and if you're in there it's gonna hurt a plenty when they hit ya!!!!!! lol

Theres definately some over-achievers out there!! lol
Havent done all that much so far myself. Started with a qualification in Horticulture- on a herb farm on the east coast of tas....and no not that type of herb lol. Then into a bit of land conservation and restoration (fancy way of saying weeding, fencing, water and soil testing) in the northern midlands of tas. Handy man/maintenance guy for some spa cottage accomodation. Now and for the last 9 years qualified Signwriter in North west tas. Who wants stickers!???

I am currently a chief executive self funded dole bludger living off tid bits thrown my way by my fiance. I am a trade qualified boilermaker picking up a few shifts here and there in brisbane but would love to hit a fifo roster in the mines or off shore if anyone needs my services contact me

Godfather weighing in here. I am a Hydraulic fitter / vehicle body builder, and part time farm hand for my dad.
Going to UNI part time next year so I can get smarter. Derrrrrr!

Started as a tyre fitter when i left school mainly on cars and trucks.
Did a fire season at a power station doing ground maintance.
Went back to fitting tyres this time doing on-site service on trucks, tractors,log skidders and earthmoving eqiupment.
Now i work in a Quarry operating a digger mainly but also loaders, trucks and do maintance.
Also worked as a bouncer at the pub and nightclub for a while for extra cash.

Me, I'm a 'kept man'. ;-) Wife works & I potter around on our 'hobby' farm. I trained as a child psychiatric nurse & family therapist & worked as a child & family therapist for years in the UK & Australia. 15 years ago I became a 'cockie', running a few cattle (breeding & raising 'vealer calves)', sheep, goats & pigs & growing our own vegies. We destocked before we took off around Australia, & since returning haven't restocked, so only a handful of animals at the moment to keep the grass down close to the house. Keeps the freezer full.

This link is a bit out of date now (written before we travelled around Oz) but gives you an idea of how & where I live.

Cuppa

I wrote down all the jobs I have had in my life and even I don't believe the list!!
At the moment I am the maintenance supervisor at a cheese processing plant.
It is part hands on and part r+d as well as the supervisory role, and it suits me
perfectly as i head towards retirement.
