What do you all do for a living? Do you enjoy it?

[SuzieSweep]

I am a SAHM but will start nurse training soon (as a 30 something VERY mature student).

I am a nosey sod and want to know what you all do and if you are happy doing what you do?

Oh, and must say, reading the comments of the Nurses on this thread...totally reassured me about my decision NOT to return into Nursing.

Sub-Contract Manager, in charge of buying machinery for aeroplanes.

Sometimes I enjoy it, but it is VERY hard and male dominated. On days like today I wish I worked in a cake shop.

I run my own dog walking business aka I pick up poo for half of the day!.......and still trying to toilet train my ds the other half. Yep, my life is sh*t!

dp pays for pretty much everything at the moment but as in lots of SAHM's cases it's not really like that as i also work bloody hard, it just so happens that his job has a salary and my boss is 2 feet tall and never bloody happy.

am hoping to start bringing in some kind of income soon tho'. would really help.

reception/admin for local council - in their customer centre (i'm still training).

I enjoy it so far, only been there a few weeks

Media and Events Recruitment. It's ok, certainly not love of the job that gets me up for work in the morning but I love the money!

Nothing.
No.

3andnomore I think you've made the right choice in Ot over SW. Nothing against Sws but their job is HARD. And they get nightmares like me on the phone everyday banging on about referrals!!

having worked as a norse in the NHS for 10 years the OT role looks great in comparison, although I'm sure it's not as cushty as it looks! Do wish I'd gone for that though...

I work for Mumsnet. It's great.

i work with children, at the moment i really wish i had an office job.

got any jobs going, olivia?

's not up to me I'm afraid but I think we're good for now. Just thought I'd be silly. (Too much sugar does that for me and I had a nutella sandwich just now!)

i'll just have your job, then
can feel your sugar rush from here!

I'm a Doula and I love it with a passion!

I am a nurse ,luckily I work in really lovely supportive team who do not mind me rambling on about baby stuff !!! Good luck with your training .

Geography teacher - when I return after dd2 - Love it best job in the world.

Arfishy - sorry just seen this! I dont actually 'do' any engineering, just manage the work that is done (if that makes sense!).

Mainly any cabling work which is beyond the dp/nte (customer owned)

Project Manager. Love it even though it drives me insane at times.

Didn't plan it - just kind of fell into it.

Thanks tequila & welcome to the very exclusive telco clique.

I get involved with infrastructure too. My hat changes pretty frequently, sometimes tech lead, sometimes design. I'm in the 3G mobile side rather than data/fixed. My team does the big brother stream to mobiles and suchlike.

All riveting stuff

Ooohh theres a telco clique?

I don't get involved with anything mobile, its all fixed voice and data. My team mainly provide lineplant for new circuits but we also do highly exciting refurbs, network overlay, new-builds etc.

I work for the biggest and probably best known telco in the UK so do quite a bit of work on 'our' UK network too.

Am half a sahm and half a stockbrokers assistant!! I LOVE IT - feel i have the best of both worlds as still get quite a few long lunches!!!!! te hee!!!!

Verrrry exclusive clique - it's you, me and legalalien .

Music Teacher.

love it - no two lessons are the same and the hourly rate and tax advantages are not to be sneezed at. Picking my hours means no child care costs.

Teacher (part time) - usually really enjoy it but had a few rough days recently
