Your Job

Post by Tom » 18 Aug 2004 05:43 pm

Not at all Volvo related (althought it could be in some people's case!) but what does everyone here do for a living?

I am a data imnput operator. :(

Self employed healthcare professional. (Physio)

Not very low living costs either. Normally from this kind of job they pay near 2000 euros/month, but my boss won't :(
