what is your occupation

blutopless2 · 2004-02-22T03:59:27+00:00

its interesting the wide variety in peoples background yet to still have the common interest in VW. would be interested to know what people's occupation is and brief description of job roles etc (if they aren't obvious) i am an instrument electrical technician, work for a petrochemical company. i work on process control equipment like temperature,flow, pressure and level control and gas/liquid chromatography as well as electric motors and PLC control etc. no background in cars.

Final year Uni student. Mech Eng/Science (maths/physics).

Just getting into cars really, haven't had time nor money before. I love my nice blue bus, even if she's rather temperamental.

Cheers, Aurel.

I manage a photo lab- so I spend all day looking at other peoples holiday pic's. Cost price cameras are a nice perk and im in an a/c building all day-although the lab pumps out 60 deg hot air so a/c is really needed.

I have done units by correspondance when I was over seas. They were the easiest subjects I ever did.

Do the work and it is much easier than doing it on campus. They give you all the answers and spoon feed you the info :thumb

Well, you've got yourself a singer. Add Melbourne to the possible rehearsal spots 😉

I'm currently studying musicianship to sit an AMEB syllabus later in the year. Also studying singing. Putting a band together (we need a guitarist... Anyone?. And looking for work to fund VW's and music hardware:cussing.

Started off playing with cars, ended in hospital, so tried a different occupation, again with cars, again... Landed in hospital. So now I just want to do music full time. Tour, record, all that stuff.

Hi

Worked as a parts guy at various VW dealers around Sydney, then helped run the workshop & showroom at Powertune (a Sydney VW specialist).

For the last 18 years (19 in March) I have been doing roadservice for the NRMA, I get 1 weekend of in 3 and work shift work, so I get lots of time to play with VWs and look after the Club VeeDub website and also do the monthly magazine Zeitschrift and the VW Nationals. The downside is that Im often working when VW events are on over the weekend.

Im a Scout Leader as well.

We are a small TV production company that produce Corporate/promotional and training videos. Also now do a lot of CD's and DVD's. Mainly for tourism and manufacturers and exporters as video is a good way of showing what they make (at trade shows etc). We have worked all of the country - so if anyone is interested...
