would love to retire from work and play golf and drive my golf.

7 yrs in construction as an architechtural glazier, build big glass building all over the country and restore and paint cars wen i get spare time

foxy

Spent the last 25 years working in FE colleges on the admin and IT support side. This was well before new fangled stuff like the internet and the 1st network I installed was 2 PCs and a 386 (wow! the raw power) Novell server linked by proper ethernet cable 8O  

Evenutally ended up installing 1000+ PC networks and headed IT support with a dozen staff. About 10 years ago moved in Management Info Systems, recording enrolments, doing funding returns, management reports etc.

Took redunancy a couple of months ago    and start new job in another week   with a very large Audit/Consultancy/Support company working within their Education Team.

9yrs Plumbing,self employed
Previously 6.5yrs car mechanic Rover main dealer
previously 6.5yrs helicopter engineer.I was made redundant in 1994(2 days after buying my Mk1!!!)
plus 2 week shelf stack at Tesco

i am a stonemason but currently working as a trimmer/fitter for a small but very respected composite comany. I make carbon fibre components for various F1 teams such as Red Bull, Mercedes GP, Renault, Mclaren, Virgin, Force India and Torro Rosso. My claim to fame is that in the 5 years i've done this job i have worked on 4 F1 world championship winnig cars and 1 le mans 24hr race winning car.
The season when Lewis Hamilton won the championship was my proudest achievement as i made everything he was touching as he crossed the finish line(steering wheel, clutch and gear shift paddles, throttle and brake pedals, seat and head rest).
My mk1 has cut offs from the 4 chamionship winning cars all over it my favourite piece bieng the first bit i made. a VW badge for the centre of my steering wheel. it was made from the centre of the mould that we made Jenson Buttons Honda/Braun GP steering wheel. It still has the mould No. laminated accross the back! irreplacable;
 

even though this is a cool job and it pays well, i still prefer stonemasonry. it takes alot more skill and my work lasts hundreds of years rather than a few races. you get a great feeling of achievement when you have finished a piece. here is some of my work;


(both carved by hand to within a tollerence of .25mm. the industry standard is 1mm but bieng trained in f1 composites first, old habbits die hard. lol)
I am very lucky to have skills in 2 proffesions that will always have work. i never went to uni. i am all in favour of apprenticeships. my friends at school said i was a drop out for leaving at 16 to work at burger king. i was a manager by 17!.  i think im doing ok. And my golf gets to see the benifits! my life would be boring without it.
