Curious. What do you do for a living?

Some say he works telecom for a small company in Jamaica. Others say that he's the PR consultant for Putin.

All we know is...

At the moment i'm a trucker 4 days a week and i'm a sound/light tech in a nice theater.

My job sounds crap to some of yours! But I'm cabin crew for an airline. Fell into the job by mistake, but it's short haul so I come home every night. For the amount of work I do (I try and spend most of my day sitting down with a paper and coffee), plus the amount of time I get off (I work 6 days, including home stand bys which generally means a day off, and then 3 days off), I do get paid really well. Also, with my company doing really well financially and being on one of the older contracts, my job is pretty safe at the moment. Just hate getting up at 4am for the earlies and getting home at midnight from the lates, but the views are amazing, especially from the flight deck!

No job is crap!

If the cleaners stop cleaning, what happens? The managers and workers drown in their own rubbish!

If the waste treatment stop working, we drown in our own excrement.

Sounds to me like you're a high flyer 

[stevie1556]

I'm not saying it's crap, just not as good as some of the others posted on here. Its not a bad job, bit not one I can see myself doing for the rest of my life?

High flyer without the high flyer pay packet! And great pun by the way, probably the only one I've never heard!

Archivist / IT / Do-it-all in administration for Public Radio here in Germany.

[LaceSensor]

Field Applications Specialist for a US biotech
but I live in the UK (company is worldwide, pretty much) and work from home when not travelling.

I travel about 50% and my job involves teaching, training, techsupport and sales support for genetics / healthcare type research and diagnostic products. The kinda stuff that gets used by hospitals, universities and drug companies to cure diseases and advance human understanding.

Lead Business Analyst for United Parcel Service. Not nearly as fun as building pedals!

I work as an engineer for a company that does large scale HVAC projects. One of the coolest we've done (and of most interest to you guys  ) is the Ziggo Dome, a 17000-seat music venue that was opened in Amsterdam last year. Right now I'm working on a 50 MW bio-energy plant, not nearly as cool, and no free concert tickets......

Professional loser here. Never had a real job. I do amp/guitar/electronics repair and mods for two local music shops.

Watchmaker

No shit?! That's the coolest job so far. 

I got the watch bug last year. Picked up a range of relatively cheap automatics (and one really nice TAG that I got as a "gift" for winning a company award).

I also picked up some cheap watch tools for minor adjustments. I also got ballsy and got a hand press and puller, but I've not yet fully manned up and pulled apart a working watch.

As for my gig, I'm a "proposal manager" for an energy-from-waste company. In a nutshell, we take trash (the exact stuff you pull to the curb for pickup) and combust it to generate steam which then makes electricity which is then sold to the local grid. And pre- and post-combustion, we recover metals and send them out for recycling. My job is to make sure the subject matter experts and the VPs of sales get their crap together and meet all the requirements for RFPs to secure contracts with towns/counties.

Electrical Equipment Repairer for the Dept of Defense.  I pretty much build and solder weapon systems for the Air Force as a civilian. It's pretty boring most of the time, but I get to see some badass aircraft come through

[pryde]

Occupational Therapist. Work in multiple settings but really focus on rehabilitation of spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke at the neurological unit in a local hospital.

I also am owner/operator of JPGuitarworks doing instrument repair, building, amp service, and of course effects pedals  . This doesn't pay all the bills but its my baby and a nice contrast to the often emotionally stressful job of an OT.

Radio Frequency (RF) Field Support Engineer - I work for a microphone company and travel around helping venues, churches, bands, events set up and maintain their wireless microphones.  I do a lot of frequency coordination, troubleshooting, spectrum sweep analysis, and system design.  It could be anywhere from the Grammy Awards to a small church out in Missouri.  When I am not on the road I conduct training on microphones and audio applications.
