Software here, working for a company that does software and hardware for mobile phones so please dont' stop using them just yet :wink: Been doing it for 19 years and am bored stupid with it. Only another 20ish years to go before I can retire :cry:.

What would I like to do - be one of the idle rich, although I doubt I'd be idle for long...

Following a failed attempt at being a world-class Squash player (!) I've been in IT since 1990. Background is in Software Engineering, but more recently I have been doing Release Management, ClearCase Administration and Build Management. After 3 redundancies from 3 failing telecoms companies in the past 4 years, in May this year I skipped off to Switzerland to try the banking industry for a bit of variation. So far so good, and the skiing season has just begun :)

BTW If anybody knows a competant Release Management + ClearCase Admin + Build Management person with excellent Unix skills looking for a job - we have an position open in Switzerland (Zurich).
 
I work as freelance film technician running the video assist desk on features and commercials and high budget pop promos. I specialise in underwater video transmission systems.

Film work is increasingly patchy so also have a small business buying live hand dived scallops and shellfish for sending to restaurants and large wholesale markets. This means that I can get to sea a lot in our RIB and keep the cobwebs away.

I run an ad in the local parish mag for odd job carpentry which gives a point to my favourite hobby.

Spent years as a charter captain on yachts in the Virgin Islands and love working for myself.

Dream is to build a HUGE workshop in my field out back of house if SWMBO will allow!
 
Range technical officer; a fancy title for small arms ballistics and other related work.
Also run a business as a driving instructor. :shock:
Work 7 days a week and have done for 18 years!
What time is left is spent on family and hobby.
