Primarily I'm an independent technology consultant - 24 years in the business - I run my own business and provide technology services to businesses and every so often I support overflow work for other IT companies.
What have I done, and could return to as a profession?
* I'm a qualified chef, but I can't stand working on "the production line" as I call it. I cook because I love it, but working in restaurants (the production line) caused me to loose my love of cooking and it because a drudgery.
* I've recently completed my med-school entry training; passed with honors. I can now continue on to medical training in nursing, physical therapy or sports medicine if I wish.
* I've spent a number of years working dairy farms and bush work. But I'm too much of an "in-doors cat" for that line of work now (my hands a nice and soft I want to keep them that way)
* I've spent ~2 years working as a furniture joiner.
* I've spent ~2 years working as a panel beater.
* I've spent about a year [or so] working as a [house] painter.
.... I think thats about it. Well, everything or at least 1+ years.
