Do you have an exciting or interesting job? Or know of any unusual ones?

Just asking light heartedly ♡

My friend tests computer games

I'm a dog behaviourist. It's pretty interesting and varied.

Identify opportunities for new products / brands in the food and drink space, work on creating and researching/testing them, and the whole process of getting them to launch.

Can't go into too much detail but have a friend who is an observer. They are given an area to wonder around and then receive a phone call sometime later by any unknown person who asks a series of questions. These questions may include architecture, traffic flow, who they saw, local shops, menu selection (if they went into a cafe), if they noticed a particular person etc. They are very well paid but it is not clear who they are paid by

I find my job interesting, not necessarily exciting but definitely interesting. I work in cybersecurity so everything’s always changing, new things to learn, new ways people try to steal data and break into systems. It keeps me busy and keeps my brain active which I like. I get that it’s probably not all that interesting to most people though 😂

I'm a social worker. No two days are the same. It's very interesting and exciting but also very stressful and it will never make me rich!

I am a prosthetist/orthotist. Again no two days are the same- it's definitely varied, and a job lots haven't thought about (there are about 1100 of us in the UK).... I love it when I have helped a patient relearn to walk- very rewarding....

'Interesting' is going to depend what you are interested in!

For some people that will be analysing data, for someone else it will be counselling, for someone else it will be recruiting, for someone else it might be being a clerk in court, for someone else it will be being a SENCo, etc etc etc.

'Exciting' - well, being a Police Officer or Firefighter or Bomb Disposal Expert or Prison Officer is never going to boring. Not for everyone though.
