What does your course do? I'm currently graduating for my Bachelor. Course is called 'Communication & Multimedia Design' and is essentially User Experience Design in the broadest sense. So anything from games to applications, websites to interfaces you use to order your groceries or order your McDonalds easy-order.
It's taking me a while, though. I got a job as a junior designer at a big firm here. I would have dropped out hadn't I been this close to getting that piece of paper haha.
@murkrage My course teaches us the roles of public services E.G Police. Teaching us about law, teamwork, being a leader. It sounds you're heading up. You've already got a job as a designer. Well done mate. What are you doing in this job?
Ahoy there!

I'm a software developer doing mostly C# backend development, currently working in a distributed scrum team with people from the Netherlands and Romania. Apart from being a developer in the team, I also support the team as scrum master. Last year I finished a long course for agile coach which currently means that for about 8 hours a week I also support other teams with problems related to scrum/kanban and I organize workshops about agile related subjects.@siriondb said in What jobs do people have?:

@siriondb don't forget the head honcho of the infamous Pirate Union also known as Fortune. It costs you more time and earns you less money than your normal job, but the amount of respect flowing in there.... AMAZING :)

Don't hesitate to send your feedback! I will send you a heavily not-edited macro that doesn't respond to your concerns but that will keep my TpH (Tickets per Hour) ratio at a good spot.
Ahoy there, nice idea for a thread!
I'm a teacher. I work for a Community Hospital School which caters for students who can't attend mainstream school for medical reasons, including ASD.
I teach across KS1 to KS3, all subjects but try my best to avoid maths ;)
My favourites are History, Geography and English.I've been doing this job for a while now, started off as a primary school teacher, have taught overseas for a good while too.
I'm an administrator for a university in the U.S.. I've been here nearly 23 years. I started as a painter and worked my way through school at nights while raising my son. He was the reason I came here. I needed the benefits and they are excellent. I'm set to retire in another 12 years and I really can't wait for that to happen.

Rock star. When I’m not on stage wailing on sax, keys, guitar or drums, I’m in my studio composing music, practicing any one of dozens of instruments, or (more likely) wasting time in Sea of Thieves.
Greatest description ever
@genuine-heather That sounds so awesome. So, anything you have uploaded on the internet where we can listen to your creations. :)
Wow, i see a lot of smart people with beautiful and intriguing jobs...Okay , somebody has to break that streak...i went to school till my 18th, i have no knowledge about English or USA schoolsystems so i can't say anything sensible that would make sense in yer ears to compare it with...Now then i started working in a chemical factory that makes plastics and 24 years later...i'm still in that factory...and still with the same rank as i started since i hate to become higher ranked...i simply can't order people but don't have a problem with following orders ...And when all work is done , you can find me with a Broom in the hand cleaning my workspot...i may look dull but when i'm sweeping my mind is roaming over a Sea , we all like to be , Oh i do like my little day/night dreaming time at work while sweeping the floor , sometimes i didn't realized i started over again and sweep the same floor twice...( * Wow, George,you have the most " exciting " job of them all...Sigh, people put dogs out of their misery for much less...hehehehe.moron)

@katttruewalker How'd you end up teaching overseas and where have you taught? I'm actually really curious. I know you teach in the U.K since you said you teach key stage.
It was pretty easy really.
I was teaching in Manchester and went overseas on holiday to Singapore and Thailand, thought 'well this wouldn't be a bad place to work', looked up jobs in the TES and applied to one in Singapore. I was very lucky, it was short notice but the teacher they'd employed for the Year 5 class had dropped out and they needed a Year 5 teacher which I just happened to be :D It was an international school called Tanglin Trust.Later on I taught at another small international school on the east coast of Malaysia for a while.
If anyone has the chance to work overseas, I'd say grab it with both hands.
@clumsy-george I would imagine it pays well. Working in factory is not easy. My dad worked in a cake factory. Wanna know how he got fired? Eating cake.
