This is what I love about this forum.

If this had been PPRuNe there would have been 10 responses in the 90 minutes since this topic was started with people blowing smoke up their own @rses with self-inflated corpo-titles.

Here, everyone's too discreet. Well, except for Flintstone and Morley anyway.

I'll contribute:

2. Monocock - County Beaver Leader, and farmer in spare time.

I'm an expert. Ex as in "has been " spert as in "drip under pressure" and yes I know spurt is spelt differently

[Irv Lee]

farmer.

Thinking of pprune:
Farmer eh? well, you SAY you are...., you post as if you are, but I suspect otherwise

[lobstaboy]

Career? Ha, what's one of those? Gave that up ages ago...

[greggj]

In my case it's not a career, it's a lifestyle

[Keef]

Career? For a living? No, I don't do that. I tried, couldn't get on with it, and gave up.

I'm now a relaxed old man with a variety of licences to do stuff such as fly, preach, and bury people.

You're a beaver farmer? Can I order some?

I'm a Technical architect / team lead for a company that specialise in designing call centers (as in, I code what an agent sees on their screen) and self service websites (so you can enter your meter reading on line).
After graduating (before joining who I work for now) I turned down a job designing the screens/ heads up display for a harrier upgrade. Glad I didn't take it though as the team were moved on when the harrier was canned
Don't really have that big a trumpet to blow so hopefully fit in fairly well here...

Is it my imagination or does flying seem to attract computer science graduates?

[pb6797]

Also IT here, I think it is a combination of the money to fly and the aptitude for the logic/exams/etc. which causes the preponderance of IT people.

Really?

Blimey Mono, how do you get time to farm? As a lowly Beaver leader I know how much time a section takes, let alone the County!! Do you still get to run a section?

I suspect its the technical intrigue and an excuse to buy more toys rather than being any better with exams! Probably also a function of the type of UK jobs too - you need to employ lots of people after all to automate everything...
