What do you do for a living?

[Lennon]

If I'm on a train, I sometimes look at people around me and wonder what they do for a living? Just wondered what people on Answerbank do for a living?

I got my BSc in Civil Engineering in '83. Built loads of big buildings and bypasses and a sewage works before being made redundant in '92. Found it hard to get an engineering job, so went agency driving then bought my own truck. At the moment I am the owner/operator of a DAF 85 8 wheel tipper. (The wife is driving it tonight in roadworks on M6 J7, poor girl!)

I work for BT in a Department that supplies location maps of underground utility apparatus to BT Engineers and Contractors to avoid them saoking, gassing, or electrocuting themselves when excavating to lay cables. In my spare time I interview and review pop and rock stars for websites and magazines.

I work on a big kick ass metal punching machine on nights.

My answers to all of you are: sddsddean - poor wifey :) mac309 - must be an occupational hazard! andy hughes - sounds cool - any good/interesting people that are better to interview than others? the rut - don't wanna meet you in a dark alley diogenes - fair play - I can relate to that! cliffy - so are you the actual fire engine? How did you achieve that? :)

[Lynnieshell]

I work for British Gas as a Business Analyst and NO! I don't know what it is either..

[Lennon]

I liked your answer Darth - can you also invest in some make up foundation, coz in your final (and touching) scene with your little boy, I always think you look a bit green - might have something to do with the fact that you're not at you're finest point there are you? :) By the way, we have your signature framed (well Dave Prowes signature anyway)
