Ok silly because I know its not quite a aibu

But thinking today about jobs that I am fascinated with , like personal shopper, and wondered what people on here do and if there is a big range of interesting careers. Ive read previously there are actors and writers on here,what other things? and is anyone a personal shopper?Do people actually use them?

I am h&s manager and I love my job because I can be a bitch at work. I've got the power to shut things down and they are really scared of me. I work in construction so blokes don't know they shouldnt fuck with me.
But I would love to work in prison as a prison officer..

I'm a speech and language therapist.

I used to work with severely disabled children, many of whom used alternative forms of communication. Now I run groups for preschool aged children.

All very good fun.

I'm a university lecturer. It's the thing I always wanted to do and, although the hours are crazy, I love it. I get to spend most of my time reading, thinking, writing and talking about the stuff that really interests me, my colleagues include my closest friends and (some of) the students are endlessly interesting.

was a chef for about twenty years, came out of the cooking ratrace
and now im an antiques dealer mainly pottery and porcealin at fairs and on e bay, i love the thrill of seeing an item go green and then posting to all over the world the fairs are great for meeting lots of different types of people and older people are useful for giving you information on stuff on the stand,
one day a week i work as a volunteer cook at a drop in center for alchoholics, drug addicts and people who are homeless, and one day a week i work at a cat rescue center is my small way of giving something back for my fairly well off life
