What Is Your Occupation *2018 Edition*

Retired close to 4 years ago, before that I was ''in charge of supply and logistics'' for Asia, for everything that the property developer I used to work for would import from Asia, a position I got purely due to local knowledge and cronyism.

This seems like a good first topic for me. I searched the forum for one and found one that was made in 2011. I think a new one is in order!

 

I've worked for Crossrail for the past 5+ years as a 'Survey Assistant'. I've probably met over 1000 people on the project. But not one of them was into RC. Not surprising but still a little sad. My job doesn't pay too well. However combined with my living situation (living with relatives and sharing bills), I get by rather nicely. If I wasn't a big saver, I could spend £500 per month on the hobby and sometimes I do, haha! Funnily enough, I don't actually have a lot to show for the money I've spent. Turns out that crashing is costly!

 

What do you do for a living and how does it effect the hobby for you? As a nursing student, the journey is challenging yet rewarding. Balancing intense studies with clinical practice tests resilience and commitment. Reflective journaling, as suggested by  https://www.nursingpaper.com/our-services/nursing-reflective-journal/ is invaluable for personal and professional growth, allowing us to process experiences and evolve into compassionate, competent nurses ready to make a difference in patients’ lives.

I still own a security business (Fire & Security, not like bouncers on nightclub doors lol). Only difference is now I predominantly only work in high security places, such as Cat A Prisons, Banks and Mental Asylums..... moneys better but it sometimes gets a bit cagey.....

I really like to play slot machines because I have found a site where you can play all the new slot machines online for free and safe - https://slotscity.com/slots . This site has the best slot machines and that's why I really enjoy playing on this site! You should try this site too, because it has all the features you need!

Bloody hell! I forgot that I made this.. Nearly seven years on, a lot has changed. I moved from Crossrail to the much beloved HS2 in 2021. I am now married and have a baby (neither of which have been good for the hobby, haha!). At HS2, as with Crossrail, I haven't met a single person that is interested in RC. Some people like drones and would like to try them out. There is even a man in my team who's job it is to conduct drone surveys. But I don't think anyone is looking for a new hobby. It's a shame, but my passion lives on!

I meet people daily

I've only ever met 1 customer who has had a Proper RC... and that was a LONG LONG time ago! 

in the 9years of been on the road, it certainly is a dying hobby 😞
