Well we are a very successful lot on here. I am really impressed with the range of experience on here
It's certainly been an eye opener, the range and variety of jobs is massive. All walks of life, scattered everywhere, yet all on a sunderland football forum. Just proves, no matter where you are, what you do, the club is always with you. Been a good thread.
I don't think there any many billionaires on here. It would be a very interesting business to run but a bloody nightmare when it comes to H&S and licensing.
Foremost I'm a musician drums/percussion always been self employed (had a drum shop for while and gave tuition) do occasional recording work, I play with a few different acts sometimes all over the country- never been rich but always been content -I recently got a degree in Fine Art (performance, sound, installation, digital media) - as an artist (and musician) I work in the local community delivering art (creative)projects getting kids vulnerable adults etc involved with creativity and mainly with the aim of inclusion.
I'm a Computer Game Designer, currently working in Oxford. Wanted to be a games designer ever since I was 10, studied at school, college and Uni just to get in the industry, which I have been for nearly 20 years. Whats that adage about getting paid for what you love? Haven't had a legit job other than what I do. Helped a mate out paving for a few months, which was backbreaking, and worked in a nightclub for a few years as a kid, but I love what I do and can't think of anything else I could do to be fair. Have seen a fair bit of the world because of games design, and something travel related would be my only other interest outside of my current job, despite me hardly fitting into ANY seat (I'm 6'6").

In Finance. Doesn't get the juices running but the money's good! Some amazing jobs and lifestyles on here.
Fireman, love it and imagine I'll be there til I'm 60. Lucky enough not to of had a job I disliked. Doing dream realistic job. Real dream job, but I suffer from apathy, astronaut. I do enough to get by and keep people off my back but have never really pushed myself.
Do you have a 2nd job? never met a fireman that doesn't. Good job like, maybe one i should have tried for years ago.
I always fancied the idea of being a Firefighter as a kid, then I got interested in messing about with stuff and wanted to do summat else, hence the plan to go to Vaux. Neither panned out like.
