What profession do you work in

[Animum2]

I've never stuck to one profession, not through a lack of wanting to but situations, for me Id rather stick to a job that i enjoy whereas I know others have careers

In my job experience I've worked in

Medical research
Food
Council
Fine book publisher (longest job for 11 years till redundancy)
Then courier company
Now Sharedealing

Just wondering if others have had a variety or same

Marketing - it's all I've done since I left Uni

Council. It's 5 minutes from home and the pension is good.

Profession:

a paid occupation, especially one that involves prolonged training and a formal qualification eg "his chosen profession of teaching"

i would say a profession is something in which you hold a qualification/status/accreditation that is regulated and can be removed. So not any job?

They sounds like jobs as opposed to a profession? I'm chartered in my field, so that's a profession to me

I think the OP means what industries/sectors have you worked rather than the ‘professions’ in the traditional sense e.g. medicine, law, something you hold an accreditation in...
Personally I’ve always worked in financial services. Don’t particularly love it but it pays well for what it is!

HR

molten metal manipulator /applicator

Academic.

Construction. I’ve done site engineering, design, planning and commercial management.

Architect....

HR

On here the only thing worse is Conservative voter.

My 8 year career has been in financial services - two insurers and one bank

Food I'm a chef

Banking all my life

IT consultant - fell into it as a 21 yr old divorced single parent and was mentored by an amazing woman. Despite no qualifications she put me on a management programme and I reached director level, and recently set up my own consultancy

I never moved industry as I literally learned everything I know in IT!

Yeah I probably didn't explain myself very well!
Also qualified football coach when I was 20 and coaches under 10s for a couple of years

Well, I am a member of five institutes, five lots of post grad quals over a thirty year period (plus membership fees and cpd to contend with).

Profession is as oneminute states for me and I choose which one I admit to depending on where I am/who I am with. I never admit to one of them though!

Sectors I have worked in - private and public. Both have pros and cons.

Travel

Banking. Retired now though.

Auctioneer and Valuer

Only industry I have ever worked in and can't imagine doing anything else.

@TSSDNCOP 😂😂😂😂

Well according to the definition above, I haven't ever had one. Though professionalism is expected of me by the general public anyway, in all 3 sectors -
Retail
Care
Hospitality

I’m a quality & environmental manager.

Law. For the last nearly 10 years since graduating. Pretty much always litigation of some form.
