Ok completely off topic! (as usual! lol) We all know each other through the forums and our cars but what do you for a living? T o give you an idea I work as a shop assistant in a Hardware Store! ok its not glamourous but it pays the bills and maintenance for the car! So fill in if you find the urge or the need think of it like an ice breaker!
Oh and do not just put student put what you study I and possibly many other members would like to get to know you a bit better!
Well, a lot of people know what I do, but for those who don't I'm a now postgraduate researcher, having just finished a masters in Electronic Eng.
Over the next three years I'm looking into MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) devices for medical research. Basically I'm fighting gravity, and making things levitate, and currently seems like I'm winning, but that's probably due to me missing something important
Primarily I'm a horseman, but I've spent four years as a live stunt performer and actor in theme parks and travelling outdoor shows across england, I'm just coming out of it and may be starting as a company trainee for a hydraulic company and fittings specialist
I think most of you would call me a house husband which is why I have so much time to spend on here
but my occupation / passion is really a foster carer (Have been for three and a half years now ) specializing in disabled children and cross cultural placements ,
+ carer for my disabled father who has lived with us at redline towers for 9 months now
and buyer and seller of all things vw golf (stone the heretic) by the way golfs suffer from carb icing just like 300's
Self employed cabinet maker here....... All things wooden and custom made, reception desks, conference tables, cupboards, kitchens and most other items!
Certainly some interesting occupations on here, we seem to be a varied creature the 300 driver.

Final year finishing my degree in Multimedia Technology, have worked for over year within a company that provide local business with subsidised rates on web/graphic and technical resources... before I fill this with jargon...
im a bricklayer / blocklayer but i'm in far north queensland australia so its a bit hotter over here then where most of u are from we get 30+ days most of the year and over 60% humidity so i sweat all day long pay ok though
Well, ok. my job is currently to look for a job, when I find one then I'm most likely fixing computers and designing networks and stuff, but as it looks now, it can be rather long until I find a job so I may also create job for myself by starting my own business, just lacking bit of money.
I do something exceedingly dull for an IT company.
They'd probably prefer it if I said that I worked in the Business Process Outsourcing division of the dynamic Global Service Delivery department. But it is dull whichever way you look at it.
I'm at that stage of deciding if I need someone to help me more often. As currently I only employ someone who is self employed at the most busy and stressful times when I'm pushed for time with a mission to complete! However having someone who I could trust and wants to learn would be a nice asset, especially when it comes to lifting 26 mm thick 8 foot by 4 foot sheets of veneered MDF on your own!
Dunno how you'd cope with the travelling from Nottingham though mate! That'd put lots of miles on the Redline!
