So what do you all do for a living?

I retired at 30.

How's the therapy going?

I look after the tax affairs for a large multinational. Been doing this for quite a while and a few years ago I bobbed back to the government side of the game for a while as well. Sidelines include running a couple of charities, but it's tax that keeps me in decent motors (I'll shortly be back in a Merc, as I've got an S212 on order to replace the F11BMW)

I want to be nosey and see what everyone does for a living on this forum? do we have mechanics, entrepreneurs, office workers , retired people here etc ? so i'll start, i'm known as a" bean counter" (Quantity Surveyor) in the construction industry.

I thought you counted bricks and nails rather than beans. At least that's what I've done for years. I'm commercial director for a contractor for my sins..

Ten years retired after a career as a chartered town planner and a bit of dabbling with transport planning.

I'm also in the construction industry. I'm a carpenter/joinery fitter,as is my twin. We worked together from the start but he now resides in Canada. My eldest has also chosen the same profession.My Dad was also in the game for over 45 years.
I can honestly say that I love my job as much as I did when I started... Though I am looking forward to retirement
