With having absolutely no luck deciding what Im going to spend the best part of 4 decades calling work, I was wondering what do the roboteers do/intend to do as a job.
(If youve never heard of the term Bread and Butter Job before, its the Job you do to put food on the table.Of course we all know that.:wink:)
I was (until the end of March) working as a finance officer for the local authority assessing little old ladies finances to make sure they were eligible for social services funding. Quite a far cry from robots. I am now unemployed and no matter what I would like to do, I am still a pen-pusher in the eyes of employers but I would like to do something in the field of electrician or service engineer and to that end I have just started study for a BTEC in electrical installation.
Well Im studying for a degree in Mechanical Engineering with Aeronautics but havent really given a great deal of thought to what/where I want to work after uni - possibly something more related to the aero side of my course - flying combat robots perhaps :)
I am hoping to get a summer internship at Rolls-Royce aerorepair and overhaul in east kilbride. In terms of after uni, no idea what I fancy doing.
i have always been in sales within the motor trade, it pays well and has given me a nice house but i hate the pressure of targets etc...and i used to have to work in germany, so was away from home alot. i always wanted to join the police force, but having a family and morgage young never helped towards me applying.its something i have been reconsidering over the last few months.
Id suggest a Plumber ( Corgi Licenced ) or Electrician...... Both options give you the chance to make some cash on the side ... or even go self employed.
or theres the easyest job in the world cnc machinist and you could do robot parts in overtime :)
Jamie, Im studying Journalism but Im in the same situation youre in: I havent really given thought on where to work. Im too busy with my current courses for that or looking over my own robots. I might take some Engineering courses this summer to help build my featherweight though. :)
well somtimes i say im on nights but being a porn star i have to hide it!!!
have you not seen the films ;)
No (thank god for that) LOL
