I don't know what I do, my bosses don't either, but whatever it is they pay me well for it. Bassically I work in an office and I do whatever seems to be a productive task at the time, alot of smoke and mirrors are involved.

After school went to law school at UTS, did degree and worked in a suburban practice doing compo law, victims comp etc. Major disappointment let me tell you.
Later, did my PPL, CPL, ATPL and instructor rating. Now I work as a first officer for a large international airline, and I am loathe to fly the new A380 - Technology of a ford, build quality of a daewoo.

Thats something I wish I had always become. Was a pilot flying international. Too old, too fat, too lazy, too stupid and too late to do it now.
