What was your job before aviation?
 
When I left school, a fair long time ago, I never thought I would end up flying Helicopters for a living.
I was a Jockey for nearly 20 years.
What did you do in your previous life ;)

Not Much is different
 
I use to clean the crapers in a night club after all the booze hounds had gone home for the night. Ah the memories.

Then and now
 
I still fit Intergrated Reception Systems (TV, satellite and radio all down one cable) in appartment blocks, still chasing the dream of a low paid overworked job flying. Only 999 hours and a few bits of paper and a whole wad of cash to go.

Embedded in what?

I'm still a Chartered Accountant :zzz: and before that worked in high pressure physics research for National Physical Laboratory. That's not to say work was high-pressure but the oil which we cranked up to 150,000 psi.

Cheers

Embedded in digital radios just at the moment, but I have done microbiological measurement systems and model railway control systems as well; on bad days, I write Winblows drivers. In past lives, I worked as a university and college lecturer, stage lighting specialist, departmental buyer, a string of secretarial thingies, and (SCUBA) compressor operator.
