. . . . So in my current employment predicament i am just a bit curious as to what jobs people are doing at what age. So if anyone would care to divulge then that would be great. I am particularly interested in people who dont have typical "Good Jobs". I just worry that i will be forty and stuck in a terrible job!!!!

    25 and working as strategic supply chain and operations trainee manager. Also currently volunteering for an accountancy firm, and previously volunteered as a trainee paralegal which didn't quite prosper into a proper job. Worked for Sainsburys not long ago. Done some online marketing during uni and um walked some ducks before. Does that count? Lol.

    Carpet cleaner sounds like a crap job but it actually pays quite well for some reason.

    How are we defining 'crap' and 'good' in the context of a job title?
