Ive had about 20 odd jobs since 92, but the one i like most and stuck with the longest is an electrician. Ive laboured for chippies/plumbers, desinged/built kit cars fram fibreglass, stint as a colour bond fencer, factory work for areosport, was a machine operator in a mailing house for StGearge bank/dept. of gaming racing/liquor board, was a set hand in channel 9 studios, but ATM im an auto electrician for a company that builds ground support equipment for ADF (Austrailian defence force) and QANTAS among other companies.

6am start and 2pm finish, 12pm on fridays. decent pay, and opourtunity to advance through the company with option of overtime. No boss breathing down my neck, i can spend a whole week at work in a factory where 30+ people are employed and not have to speak to anyone. I can work at my own pace. Good job, shit hours, but i get a semi long weekend every weekend.

After I finished school i was at Jetty Surf for about 3 years and have been teaching drums to about 10-15kids per week for about 5 years or so. NOW, as i am older and wiser (cough) after starting in a call centre for a bank I am getting trained in Lending and Insurance so I can start giving peeps the most debt they'll ever have in their life!!! mwaahahahahahaaa!! call me.... :wink:

IT Consultant (Test Analyst). Which basically means I'm a computer geek.
