I work in a factory that makes Gas meters. I'm on a gap year between A Levels and university. Basically I'm a lazy student that gets shat on by certain nobheads who think they are important. However, the jobs gives me lots of time to browse the net, smoke fags and drink coffee. So its not all bad Next year I'll be a lazy student in Leeds studying automotive engineering.

Self employed business consultant, non-IT. Quiet at the moment - too many clients worried about their bottom line and the world cup to keep me busy.

If it was IT related, I would clearly have money to burn!
