Graphic design. Doing internal magazines for medium sized corporations mostly, but also logo design, corporate ID, advertising, marketing material etc etc. All rather dull to be honest.

Well I voted IT/Computing but I am very much in a period of reflection at the moment. I don't know if I have fallen out with IT or fallen out with the IT company I used to be part of. What I do know is that I need a break.

I'm a maintenance engineer in a milk processing plant. Not very exciting but the work's varied, which is important to me. I couldn't do a job that was the same every day, I'd go (even more) doolally! $:-\$

I'm a manager in (voluntary sector) social care & my sector never gets mentioned in these surveys.
It was a nightmare getting through the car insurance, "what is your occupation?" question, when I used to get car insurance, when I drove...

I ticked the "Science - physical/astro" box, but I do a mixture of Software Engineering and Electronics Engineering in the Physics Department of a major University, I reckon I could tick three or four categories!

Tim Hall · « **Reply #14 on:** 01 April, 2008, 11:19:31 pm »

I flog ground anchors. Used in civil engineering and construction, so I ticked engineering.

Before that I sold lighthouses.

Couldn't tick 3 boxes.

Musician who teaches and is also (after a very long break) a student again.

Motor Vehicle Technician for BMW, so I ticked Engineering but it is getting more like IT everyday carrying out software updates to fix cars

Local Goverment/Education/IT for me - not entirely sure what to pick so put IT as thats my role with the Local Goverment/Education structure

Careful, that joke will make some people bris-tle with anger.

I ticked teaching, but "Retired" or "IT" would have been equally appropriate.

Pingu · « **Reply #22 on:** 02 April, 2008, 12:03:48 am »

I chose science - chemical. I work in a lab for an environment ~~NGDP~~ quango. It's not very scientific though.
