Wow, there is a lot of similarity in most of these careers.
I too have done electronics and engineering, and my own motorcycle maintenance. I've even nearly been an arms dealer, in so far as doing quality assurance on weapons systems; you wouldn't want them to hurt anyone!
I've had a couple of cooler jobs, one in an animal hospital, and one stint as a writer.
Oh, yes,I used to breed a few fish on the side!
Full-time carer at the moment. Should really do some more freelance writing or part-time consultancy stuff.
 
At 17 I joined the Portuguese Air Force, MP K9 unit, did a tour in Angola and Bosnia, came to the UK 5 years after, and did all sorts, from pizza hut to Security Guard.

For the past 12 years I have been working at a web company, setting up datacenters, call centers and server rooms. I am now the IT Security Manager for the company dealing mostly with compliance and penetration tests of all our sites.

Also have a degree in Computer Science, a Diploma in Law and a Diploma in health and Social Care. 🙂

Left school after a year of A levels, lots of odd jobs, bingo caller, loader on lorries etc. Got fulltime work in DHSS then moved to council job. 9 years later got an analyst job for a software house which I feel very fortunate to get. Moved onto writing code and gradually worked through promotions until I now run a development team. Pretty dull I'm afraid.
 
I've got a degree in multimedia and communication design, currently working for the most valuable company in the world 😉

I did a degree in Fine Art and then 3 years as a Pharmacy Manager.

Was really really worried that I don't know what to do now, but after reading this post and seeing that people on here have had very varied jobs throughout their careers I feel a bit better about it.

Did everyone know exactly what they wanted to do or did things just turn out that way?
Seems like everyone around me has a plan.
 
White van men don't hate me, but I been doing vehicle tracking for the last 4 years now.
