Post by Dirk L »

What do the techno people do to pay the bills?

I'm a Carpenter by trade.. but can turn my hand to most things to earn a crust. You have to do what you have to do!

Owner manager of a small IT support and consultancy company in London. Went from being on my own and sub-contracting work to taking on staff last year. This is what I thought it would be like, but it has fallen a little short so far.

Planning Engineer in a power station. A great job but literally no women around anywhere. The most average looking girl/woman with a pulse looks like a supermodel between 8am and 4pm

Interesting replies fellas. It would seem like the techno community are a pretty creative bunch outside of the studio too

Netherlands Sam. south-west of it . yeah its all heavy shit, now were building Jacket (legs of a oilplatform) thats 9500 metric tons. 9500000 kilos.
but even the smallest thing we handle is heavy, so we humans are always on the bad side when something goes wrong!
but its kinda dangerous work we had 3 fatal accidents 2010.

but im not doing offshore work, the stuff you see on discovery channel.
and what u see there is mostly dramatised, otherwise no one will watch :arrow:
