Agree that this is a very interesting thread. I hope that some of the QF P1s/CLs and OW equivalents (e.g. Boomy) and SQ PPS/Solitaire members chime in and let us know some of their lines of work.

I've spent my first year out of uni at a Big 4 accounting firm but moving to a Sales and Account Management role with a global financial services data/journalism company


Not investment banking?? :confused:;)

I suppose I should add a bit to 'I'm retired' as I did have a couple of previous work lives and it may explain some of my seemingly random comments on things :)
I spent 30 odd years in education(so that will age me somewhat), mostly in Canberra where I was IT coordinator/head of laptop program (when that was a new and exciting development). After that some sessional lecturing (in computers in education - what else) then I thought maybe a year or so in the public service. It ended up nearly seven, working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander affairs. That was a wonderful experience being able to visit some of the remotest areas in Australia. The people I met were amazing.
I had a rule though that when it became a chore not a joy, it was time to go. Budget cuts and changes in direction meant that happened so I pulled the plug and retired. Now a 'lady of leisure' as they say. Part of me hankers for employment but part of me says 'Don't even think about it!'.
