LOL the OP derails own thread shocker! :D

I'm much the same as TimWilky, my official title is "IT Support Technician & Service Desk Controller," although they tend to keep me away from customers.

When something breaks, I end up being the guy that gets asked to help. If it's been a while since management see I've done anything that stands out, they throw threats around about sacking me for not pulling my weight. Then the next time everything goes t*ts up, they apologise again.

Still, it pays the bills. :)

c) The person who has to dig like buggery when someone else's sh*t hits the fan

d) Specialist in supporting old gits

Recycling company

Its ok, but I still don't like IT and would still consider another career in a blink of an eye, IF I could work out what i'd really like to do.

Well I know, motor racing, but thats not gonna happen.

I'd like to rebuild houses I think too, but again, you need a lot of capital to make the first house purchase, of which I don't from owning a nice house of my own :lol:

Hence the other issue in a career change.......

[Swin]

QFT - Hate IT too and would change in a blink if I could find something that paid as well!

[Daimo]

Isn't that the problem.......

My job pays for my life, but the job isn't that enjoyable in itself

So in otherwords, you have to give up most of your life/posessions to start a new career.

And people say "oh its easy"

Yeah chuffin right it is!!!!! Not!

I had a job like that, only I liked doing the work, just not for that company. This was when I was working as a Java Developer. I told them to stick the job, and took 4 months off over the summer with my kids. :cool:

Now, work is OK, most of the time I'm getting paid for being bored - which is starting to get to me. Other than that, it's guaranteed money at the start of the month.

[Grinch]

I'd rather like to join the Police Force but there is no way it pays enough.

[-Ralph-]

Job: Pre-Sales Technical Architect
Location: Work from Home

Basically the same as an architect for houses, but for computer networks.

Sales person finds customer who wants a new house, but doesn't know enough about building houses.
I speak to/advise the customer about what they want/need then design them a new house.
Then I take the finished plans for the new house back to the customer and try to flog the concept.
Then hopefully the customer likes the new house and contracts the company I work for to build it.

[DarrenSV650S]

Lmao seriously? which company? and that mean you'd be living over here?
Yeah seriously. A company called Stewart Clague Services. If I get the job I'll be moving over once I get a work permit.

Have you tried applying to Contact Electrical? He said he has more work than he can handle just now

[Stuuk1]

Im a sparky, but about a year moved from a company where we did incommers in to BT exchanges to a company who install control panels and all controls out in field in large office blocks in London.

Best move I ever made and this company is pretty much recession proof because of the software used within the panels. + all of our work is government / lottery funded.
