What do we all do for a living?

Unread post by selby »

Interested to find out what everyone does for a living? Obviously excluding the Doc as I think we all know what he does!

I currently work for an internal comms agency, looking after client projects. Bloody hate it but have no idea what to do going forward, other than I know I don't like working for other people.
My Kit – I moved to home theatre setup sorry...Denon SR7011, Anthony Gallo A'Diva SE Fronts, SpeakerCraft Profile AIM LCR3 One Rears, BK Electronics XLS200-DF MK2 Sub, Epson Projection.

But I would love a cheeky little AP10, AP20 sort of amp for a bedroom setup...

When I left school I started an apprenticeship as a Locksmith, unfortunately the guy who was teaching moved to Canada and I ended up falling into the corporate world of IT. Since then I've done IT support, Project Management, Account Management and from time to time some website development and network infrastructure.

As it stands I completely hate the corporate world and wish I'd learnt a real skill, such as a furniture maker, electronics engineer, thatcher or any other hands on job that is highly skilled. I continue my quest to find a 'master' who's prepared to take me under their wing and teach me.

One day I hope to find my way...think it would lead to me being a much happier and content person.
