That must be such a cool job working at Chester Zoo. I did see there was a job going the the aquarium which looked cool but was too far for me, being in Wales and all. One of my friends off my course has applied for a few jobs going in the reptile house too
 
PhD student - in my final year trying to get a computer to understand sign language. So image processing and computer vision.

The only difficulty is I have no idea what I want to do when I finish, except that I don't want to spend the best part of my life sitting in front of a computer hidden away from the world. In fact I have a longer list of things I don't want to do than of things I do want to do... though the loafing idea sounds nice... if I thought I wouldn't get bored within a week and need stimulation!
 
I'm a Welder's Mate (labourer)

Also a small time entrepreneur
Used to buy snooker cues/cases/accessories in bulk from China and sell on ebay until ebay got flooded with them and I decided that it was no longer viable. Made some money there though.

I now buy things from Poundland and sell them for £2.49 on ebay. You would be surprised but everything sells. lol. Scaling up from £40 purchases a week next week to £100.

He, he.....beware what you buy new off ebay because you always spot it cheaper somewhere in town and realise it wasn't the bargain you thought. Ha, ha.

Unless of course you live somewhere without a poundland or equivalent. In which case it often is cheaper to buy for a couple of quid off ebay 🙄
 
I saw a programme a few years ago on the "phenomonon(sp?) of ebay" and this bloke wondered around on a beach picking up used bits of rope left over from fisherman and then sold it on ebay to prove "you can get money for old rope". He did sell it - to some one who wanted to tie down tarpaulin covering his sports car collection. Unfortunately, he didn't charge enough for postage so ended up making a loss!! :lol:
 
Im a student studying a lvl 3 BTEC in general IT.. im also a lecturer at the same level in web design/development as well as basic networking and computer maintenance.

From September I ALSO start teacher training as well! Not overly sure how Ill pull it all off but will give it my best shot.
 
Somewhat boringly I'm an Electronics Test Engineer? Permanent nightshift with internet access though (which is nice) and explains why some of my posting times are bizarely early in the morning :twisted:

Also do loads of building work having been in the construction industry previously and being way too mean to pay anyone to do something that I can have a crack at myself. Renovating 1920's semi in rural mid-wales. My 5 year restoration plan has now been extended to 10 yrs. :?

Also take great interest in messing with technical things with some knowledge of loads of general engineering. Latest project is an aquarium computer, but she (who must be obeyed) keeps dragging me back to building work so this may take a while. 🙁

At this point I should add that I feel a bit of a fraud as I don't currently have a tank set up. Obviously I have had to factor this into my building projects so I'm gathering as much info as poss (and kit) before setting up. :?

Wife is a mystery shopper. Well it mystifies me she can spend so much on so little! I also have a 5 year old who is autistic (not severely) and a 16 year old stepson at home - who are both cracking kids. 😀
