Thread: What's your occupation?

Coming from a farming family, I appreciate that one ...

So what did I do to get on a sounder financial footing? Became a librarian, of course ...

Speaking of gormless! But I love the work.

Also do some teaching on the side, currently in a self-paced distance-learning program. I'm an occasionally-published poet and a completely unknown, completely unperformed, not very prolific and doubtless destined-to-be-forgotten songwriter and composer.

University of New Brunswick (I'm in Canada). Actually I already have a job lined up. Out of 82 people in my year there's only about 20 still looking for articling positions. There's only 15 law schools in Canada so we produce a lot less students every year.

Department manager- Wine and Imported/Artisinal Cheese. And various gourmet items. The fun stuff!

27 going on 28 here and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I've done so many jobs in the last few years I almost can't remember them all. Currently at an environmental company (wife put her foot down on switching jobs again) and running a vac truck for them. Basically I suck up sh@t, fuel (gas and diesel), carwash sumps and whatever other disgusting thing they can find for me to suck up. Worst job so far is sucking out the sump at the local animal shelter, something about getting covered in dog and cat p!ss just turns me off. I've also sucked up a gravel truck load of dead chicks, chicken guts, blood and eggshells, that was pretty gross too. Anyway it pays the bills, that's all that matters.

Yeah I know...It really sucks

As long as you suck it up and get the job done.

Well, I'm 36 and have been in law enforcement for going on 13 years.
I was a deputy sheriff in Ohio when I got out of graduate school in 1996 (no degree, so I'm officially a grad school dropout).
Then, I was accepted into the Ohio State Highway Patrol academy in 2000. I've been employed as a State Trooper ever since. I really enjoy my work....but I'm a little disturbed that I post my occupation right after the sh*t sucking thread.....

Ex Navy, factory worker(cheese), security guard,bum and now a teacher at a special school.

OK, I have to ask. I checked for U44 with the ICAO and there isn't one. What does your screen name mean?
