I am a printer, been doing this for nearly 27 years.
Best job was doing RnD for the polymer bank notes- nothing like working all day watched by a guard with a shotgun who is never far away, even escorted us to the dunny's.

Retired, mostly. Started in EDP when computer were bigger than a huge domestic fridge with paddle pop sticks and flying saucers. Mostly what is termed SME, doing general dogsbody from tape monkey upwards over the years. Hardware, networks, databases, etc, etc. Love *nix.

Somewhere in the middle had a stretch in adventure travel, youth work, outdoor education. Great life style but lousy career, so back in to IT.

Nowadays i just do projects and try to get away camping a bit more.

Now, I'm a qualified greenkeeper and Crew Foreman at a 36 hole golf club.
Finish my Diploma in Turf Management this September, can't wait!
Cheers, Marcus

Running my own business for the last four and a half years. Previously was a Plant operator in Pharma running 40K rpm ultracentrifuges for virus concentration. Also large SCADA managed filtration plants. A few years in the food industry after that.
Started a retail custom picture framing shop in 2007 from scratch. Made a profit straight up and was heading towards a strong business until my son got in the way. I now run the business as full mobile service with enough work from the loyal clientele to keep me scratching my head.
The wife is a career girl so i'm happy scaling back to pocket money for a while.
Pretty much a kept man, beat that bitches.
(kitesurfing lucky ducks excepted)
We are building in Brisbane soon so i'll be calling out to you tilers and other tradies in need of quality bartered framing to keep yourselves in the good books with the missuses.

[Nomadic Navara]

After 13 pages, I think it's safe to say I'm the only doc so far, actually I'm an anaesthetist, ex British army. Hence my obsession with tech stuff

Didn't consider calling yourself Bridion did you? Three less letters to type. Did you have some involvement in the development of the stuff?

 

[baitfish]

I'm an electrical fitter/mechanic and Instrument fitter. Did my time in the sugar mills in north Queensland and now I'm working for the local council in the water and waste water section. Average work at the moment got the feelers out looking for another heavy industry job.

 

[alphabet]

I am a qualified jeweller... Did it for 11 years... Got sick of looking outside commenting on what a nice day it was. I then became a crocodile keeper at Australia's most talked about zoo. I'm now a slave for a electrical company installing overhead and underground power,transformers, street lights...all those things that make a sub division look like a suburb....wheels are in motion for me to be a miner soon.. Can't wait!

 

[Dave]

^ I did that for a few months.

Didn't like standing on the little platform when the poles moving.

So went into electrical on the ground and Comm's.

My mate still does it. He makes a killing.

 

[alphabet]

I hear ya... I will make any excuse to keep my feet on the ground, it's amazing how much a power pole moves. Do you do the civil stuff or the domestic. My boss won't say but I've heard the civil side of it is almost having a licence to print money...

 

[Dave]

Use to do apartment blocks and then worked at a Raaf base for a bit. Got sick of lazy tradesmen so went and worked a mate for a few years.

He went back to wages, however we use to get stuff done quick and made some good money.

Been doing Comm's for 6 years now, mainly Telstra exchange work. Its all indoors and air conditioned and I can work when I want.

Its funny really, everyone whinges about Telstra. However Telstra are constantly improving the network.

Optus, TPG, AAPT, IINET etc only spend the money on there equiopment. Telstra upgrade the link between exchanges etc.

If it wasn't for Telstra, no one outside a Capital city would have ADSL really.
