    What is your job...?

    Considering the vast amount of money some of us
    spend on our watches, I'm just interested to find
    out what jobs you do, what is your occupation?
    I'll kick off, I'm unemployed...... :(

    Re: What is your job...?

    Another unemployed.

    Used to be in sales but due to illness work had to "terminat my contract due to ill health". So the last almost 2 years my time is shared between doctors, hospital, operating table and TZ-UK, and of course the time spent fiddling with my watches............ oh and being with the missus and kids (almost forgot about them )

    Chris.

    Police control room dispatcher - I get paid to tell cops where to go and what to do when they get there :twisted: well, not so much the second part as they should be trained by the time I get to speak to them

    As for being unemployed - been there done that - not nice! I hope things turn around for you.

    Having spent 35 years in the Chemical Industry, mostly as an Industrial Chemist, I`ve just taken voluntary redundancy/early retirement and I`m 'between jobs'.

    Not sure what I`ll be doing next, might be something watch-related :wink:

    True enough. No matter what work I've done, or how much I was paid, I've always managed to dispose of most if not all of my income.
