Mantas 3 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Following on from Soub's 'Show your ugly mug on the forum' thread (all girls exempt). I'd like to know what you all do for a living. I'm a Air conditioning Technician or mechanic/engineer/consultant, depending on what certificate you want to read. Australia is obsessed with qualifications. I run a small business I service and maintain large air-con plants in places like shopping centres, large office blocks, swimming pools, gaols, pubs, anywhere that has air-con basically. I'm on the road a lot, last year I did over 50000 km. It's not a bad job, the travel is a pain. I'm flat out in summer. Everyone wants to know me then. If your an exotic dancer in an exclusive mens club like BP and rather not say so on the forum, then that's cool too Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 one of my mates does the same thing as you mantas. other than spending a large proportion of my time on SJ, i work in marketing. i used to manage the artwork for dvd packaging for major film studios, but now i work in a law firm. let's just say it's not exactly my calling in life, but there's a shitload of worse jobs out there. i hope to be spending a big chunk of time in indo next year - taking people surfing, paddling little dugout canoes around, fishing and taking photos. i won't be making any money, but it sounds like fun Link to post Share on other sites
