I often work on conferences as a technician rigging projectors, sound, lighting, running the sound desk and powerpoint etc... With the exception of around 2 conferences, every single one I've ever worked on is full of jobsworths who basically spend all their time discussing what they're going to discuss, how to discuss it and what their job titles should be, with a ridiuculous use of buzzwords, abreviations and references to reports commissioned by imaginary people.

"as we all know the darzi review was flawed because it didn't take all the confounding variables into consideration and as for Watkins et al circa 2003 I needn't go on. We need a thorough forum for this kind of dialogue to make sure the diversity is highlighted.... bleh bleh bleh noise."

and they seriously make up their own job titles. Honestly "Oh well I'm a regional development officer" and what exactly do you do? "Well we enter into dialogue with regional consortiums and offer consultation based on their requirements" - so what exactly do you do? "As a regional development officer I act as an advocate to help local government associates and members to help them carry out their duties." So what do you do?

Hopefully, these people will get chopped off. They wind me right up. End of rant.

Anything in the council really.

As for jobs that are going to be good to stick with... gunsmith. I predict a riot or 3 within a couple of years.

To quote the green dude on one of the gremlins films "Put it all on canned food and shotguns!"
