    Im a student during the week, and bartender at weekends. My rate is £4.50. The managers want me to become assistant manager but I say no. cos I dont wanna make enemy's with the staff.

    Soon, i will be a professional musician after i get some experience. Then i can charge the MU rate (£20 ph) or teach privatly and charge £30+ph if I ever get that good!!!

    I develop new sandwiches for Sainsburys
    It is FAR more complicated than it sounds!!! It's a nightmare of a job at times, but I love the whole foodie thing and seeing my sandwiches on the shelves etc, so I suppose I enjoy it... deep deep down...


    I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.... It was them that started me drinking.

    I work out in the midle of nowhere for a company I cannot name for legal reasons. However, it's not because of the official secrets act or anything (not that seems to matter) but company policy.

    In terms of work I ensure smooth transition of chilled food products from the concept stage into factory production. This covers pasta's, salads, deli counter and side of plate for most of the retailers and some other food outlets.

    It's hectic, involving long hours and mind numbing tedium writing customer specifications, but like Sair says it is worth it once you see your porduct on the shelf.
