  1. We pretty much know how old everyone is now. So what do you do for a living to support your "U2 habit"?

    I've been an art director/graphic designer in the entertainment industry for going on 16 years now.
  2. Nice topic mate.

    7 years to this day, I've been working for a Chemical Distribuitor. I started as an office boy and today I'm some sort of a Manager or Encharged of the International Bussiness Dpt. The company imports almost 35% of the goods, and I'm encharged of those operations.
    99.9% IMPORTS
    00.1% EXPORTS

    thats pretty much my story!!
    cheers!!
  3. great idea for a topic

    as for me, there is no direct translation of my job into English.

    Horse breeder would be closest to it, I think. My family runs a stud since almost 20 years, and I've been involved in horse riding, coach driving and breeding horses since I was 12 years old.

    7 years ago I became a professional horse breeder and rider, getting the regular education as a trainee etc.
    Since then, I've been working on our stud. Feeding the horses, working on the meadows, doing farm business, raising the foals until they're grown-up, then ride them or drive them in front of a coach. I also drive wedding coaches with our horses. And I teach lessons to horse riders and coach drivers, train them on a regular daily or weekly basis.

    Right now, I'm in the middle of numerous exams for my master degree. By the end of May, should I pass, I will have the official permission to run my own business and educate trainees. And I will inherit the family stud then.
    So... this is what I do
  4. retired student
  5. everyday bloke
  6. Nothing really...I'm just a student of Electronics Engineering. I've tried to get some related jobs...but no luck, mostly because of lack of free time. This semester I go to the uni 5 days a week, from 7am till 5pm...sooo

    I love Kirsten's "occupation" tho...should be an awesome life you're having

    The "U2 habits" thing comes from my Dad's lovely pockets

    Involved in the equestrian industry would be my posh way of putting it lol!

    Me? A-level student, also part-time pharmaceutical assistant (i.e. I dish out viagra and piles ointment to the local community)

    Classics, Sociology and Philosophy & Ethics (I was doing English Lit. for AS last year but dropped it because my teachers were pompous bastards and I got fed up with it after a month - still got a C in it, even though my coursework was a U! Very long dull story, but it all ended up with me giving them the statistical "Fuck you" lol Happy days...)

    I'm guessing you're doing A-levels too?

    Yeah, in AS year though. Only taken maths and IT (double award), but with going a catholic school/sixth form, RE is compulsory and general studies is also compulsory. Bah.

    Already completed one modular exam in core maths and got an A (again, a statistical "fuck You" considering my GCSE point score put me down as a D target grade), so things ain't looking too bad.

    Philosophy & Ethics seems quite popular at the place I go to and I was tempted to take it but opted out lol
