Raging Bull Posted 5 July, 2012 Share Posted 5 July, 2012 Bored as f**k tonight and as I'm in the process of having an epic fail with my largest customer it got me thinking of what you lot do to pay for your tickets etc. I'm in the water industry but have completely lost the will with it and am looking at starting an online fitness supply business as I'm mildly obsessed with working out and keeping fit and need a new challenge. What's your line of business and do you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raging Bull Posted 5 July, 2012 Author Share Posted 5 July, 2012 Can you get high grade testosterone? Why, do you need to grow a proper jaw line or get rid of man boobs, they're a really bad look! Or are you being serious?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Super Saint Posted 7 July, 2012 Share Posted 7 July, 2012 Credit Manager, and it bores the pants off me, but it is what I have been doing for the last 14 years so what I know. Just looking to move jobs within credit, but also going on a Pastry Chef course and looking to move into this area, as this is where my passion is.... Well in cooking/catering. I do go between feeling lucky I have a well paid job to thinking this is terrible. Lol. Well, if you became a pastry chef, then you would have a terribly paid job that is also terrible! Seriously, my advice, don't do it! It may seem glamourous watching chefs on the TV and seeing the lifestyles they have, but these guys are the top 0.1% of the chefs in the country! For the other 99.9% of chefs the hours are horrendous - even if you do less than 60 hours a week, it will still include most evenings and EVERY weekend! - and the pay is worse still! Even as a qualified pastry chef, with no experience behind you you'll be lucky to get anything over minimum wage. Eventually, an experienced, very good pastry chef will probably max out at about £25k. Enjoy the cooking and enhance your knowledge by all means, but whatever you do, don't chuck in a decent salary to pursue a career in catering!

Jack Posted 8 July, 2012 Share Posted 8 July, 2012 I'm an electrician and working at Fawley refinery. I don't mind it, but don't 'love my job' (does anyone?). Currently trying to think of a decent way of doubling my salary without having to work 60+ hours a week. Pay is decent enough but I'd like to be well off rather than just 'comfortable'. I think I probably need to specialise in something then go out on my own. Would quite like to move abroad at some point to live/work/travel as well so that might be a good way to do it.
