Oil pipeline technician (Saudi Arabia)
Company 'resident representative' (Papua and New Guinea)
Debt collector (In between contracts)
Oil rig telecoms technician (Australia)
London Underground quality control engineer
Landfill power generator technician
Mobile phone engineer (Orange )
And a few other jobs for the MoD which I don't think I'm allowed to mention on here

Problem I had was I couldn't work with fools and generally opted to move on rather than put up with them

Re: Anyone changed career?

In my early years I went through 17 [yes 17!] jobs. It all settled down as I became self-employed --now I'm on my last one 'house-husband!'

Yes, Denis it certainly has, no way do I wish to imply that staying put in one job is bad, in fact it has certain advantages (e.g. pension) but I'm glad I got to see and work in so many different jobs, has helped me to make sense of this crazy world we live in and has also taught me that even 'tho a person might be a Chief Executive of a multi national company, a government minister, or some media celebrity, it doesn't mean that person has any brains, morality, or compassion.
