How old are you and what do you do?

YoungBusinessman

21 work in Construction industry, started taking on jobs of my own on the side, now looking to step it up. Going to go solo in near future and reinvest everything in myself for a few years, eventually want others to be doing the work and me to be reaping the rewards!!

@denla I thinking of training for Welfare Rights preferably Full LLB to a LLB with Advice Work (Staffs Uni). I would just need to get to Uni...the costs.
plus Practical Volunteer Work.

I'm 45.
I trained as a Biomedical Scientist
after coming out of the Army in 1989, then worked in many NHS & HPA labs until I got a job as a Microbiologist with a vaccine company who made me redundant in April this year.
I'm currently unemployed but I'm using my love of gardening to volunteer as an assistant horticulture teacher for a community interest company (teaching educationally challenged young people year 10 & 11) whilst looking for my next challenge.
I'm also an Assistant Beaver Scout Leader, mum to two boys (aged 8 & 12) and two retired greyhounds (aged 3 & 4), personal assistant to HWTHMBO and sometime events coordinator for an international motorcycle club.
I look at my life now and wonder when I had time to do any paid work, but I could really do with the money.

30 and I'm a document controller for a large oil and gas based company. I don't really "enjoy" it so to speak, but the company treats us ok and I get on with most of the people that I work with. But if I won the lottery I don't think I'd be back!

21 and work in a small supermarket.

I quite like it as there is lots of variety...sometimes on tills, sometimes on shop floor..sometimes in bakery. I also spend a lot of my time there being physically active which is great as means I loose weight without needing the gym

Downside is pay isn't great.. But I am quite happy there and have met some lovely people from all walks of life which makes up for that.

After giving up on a-levels at 17 when I fell pregnant and being made to feel like I would never be able to achieve anything or get a job, I am pleased to just feel like a valued member of society again...

I think I lost a lot of self confidence staying at home and even doing what may be considered as a 'menial' job makes me feel really proud. Sad as that may sound
