To ask what you do for a job?

[bananabreadbatshit]

Inspired by the earlier thread about suitable work clothes...

Just generally interested in what people do for a living, no outing details required.

I'll start... IT Software Support

Wellbeing manager at a University: managing a team of advisors, holding complex cases (mental health, sexual violence, academic issues) and work with other departments. I love working with students and most elements of my job

I am a senior geotechnical engineer for another week then I am starting my new role as a ground investigation project manager the week after really looking forward to it

Junior Spaceman

@ASGIRC any advice for young people who would like to get into that line of work? Thanks 😊

I'm impressed by all these job titles!
I work in student support for a university.

Get involved with your local theatre/arts centre.

What area of sound engineering does the youg person want to pursue?
Look into uni courses specific to the interest. There are various different degrees, for different branches.

Live events, like theatre, live music, corporate events require different skill sets than recording studio work or broadcast tv.

Thanks! Not sure - only just finished gcses but doing music a level and considering degree in music/ music tech so wondering about career options.

I have a passion for theatre, so thats what I specialised in. There are several degrees in technical theatre, with a sound bias, if you want to go something different.

In any case, getting involved with your local theatre is a great way to get some hands on experience. You likely wont be paid to start with, but it ight lead to some paid work as you gain experience!
Or your local pub with live music, ofr instance.
Just get as much work experience as you can.

Senior Project Delivery Lead - I don’t like it, but the pay and flexibility keep me going.

@Blip and @QROPSvISIPP forensic means anything to do with law and courts, not specifically criminal. I am a forensic psychiatrist and these days I work only in the civil courts.

If you didn't do your job so many of the other "impressive" jobs couldn't get done.
