  • Occupation. What do you do.??

    Not been covered for quite some time now.:)

    Due to the current on-going recession how are you finding it, are you still in employment or have you dared to change.

    [B]Me.[/B]

    After 28 years in my previous job lorry driving I have decided to work for myself, bought a Hackney Carraige plate and providing a taxi service in Harrogate.

    Do I like it.... Yes, should have done it years ago.:cheers2:

    What do you guy's do for a job.??

        Technical support for the head office of a nationwide emergency drain service company.

        Survived redundancy just before Easter when 3 of us in the department were reduced to two and got a brand new company car 2 days later. Already done 29,000 miles in it!

            Work for myself,have done now for the last 10yrs(second time around) building and refurb work.
            Most of my work now comes from a local housing group which is a god send in this curant climate,as the phone has stoped ringing so much now people are more strapped for cash :)

              I'm a qualified optometrist. I worked for a small group of opticians until 6 years ago when I bought the two practices that I'd worked at for the past 13 years off my boss who retired. Like Tim says, It was the best thing I ever did going on my own and being self employed. It's hard work but very rewarding!!!

                            Mike - by far you have the coolest job so far :)

                              Worked for the RAC as a patrol for the last 10years.

                              I do enjoy my job aswell, unless its raining/cold

                              Work weekends, early and late shifts, to many hours really.

                              But a safe and secure job.:cheers2:
