What do you do professionally?

[polester]

I've been teaching for 11 years now at a secondary school on an island, just a 5-minute boatride away from the city.

Construction union representative and safety representative, yep, paid to kick my boss's butt.

[petrochemist]

I'm a chemical analyst in the oil industry. Which has sent me round the world to watch motor racing (& test the fuel) Though there's only been a handful of times in the last 20 years that work's sent me abroad (I don't count Scotland as being abroad)

Browsing the tread there do seem to be a larger proportion of chemical jobs than I usually encounter outside of work...
