I work in a store/warehouse for Argos/Sainsburys, I did about 6 months worth of delivery driving for them, it was ok to start with but became too stressful and I started to lose money.

The warehouse is a much nicer experience (Personally), great staff to work with and I can do jobs at a much more tailored pace.

It also pays for many of my hobbies such as my cars and my RGH's

I used to be self employed, have a shit tonne of experience but I'm ruined mentally.

tO0t wrote I do industrial Radiography, basically it's a form of non destructive testing that is required to be done to ensure that welds are up to code and that they won't blow up under too much pressure.

I use ionizing radiation to beam a shadow image of the welds on to a piece of film! It's pretty neat honestly.

Thats cool man.. I would think that line of work is hard to get into? And what kinda things blow so much pressure that it can break a weld? So let me get this straight.. When someone is finished welding things they are then sent to you to test them welds?

Yeah basically, it can be pipe that's 2 inches in diameter up to one I shot a week or so ago at 7.2metres in diameter, basically any types of industrial boilers, pipe lines, power plants, huge mods, you name it. If it's in a system of piping I have to verify that it's acceptable. The work itself is quite easy however it is a highly specialized trade so it is hard to find a job in it especially as a trainee. The best part of my job is that anybody who isn't a nuclear energy worker cannot be in the area that we are using radiation so sometimes if I'm working at a plant I can only work on the other trades coffee/ lunch breaks making it a pretty light day of sitting in the truck haha.

Yeah I love it, it's not to hard to do but hard to master, when you make it look perfect its really satisfying, I've worked with people who send out rough work, from factory, feel sorry for some of the people who are buying them.

It wouldnt be done in a garage, its more specialised. Depends where you are from, I work at a van conversion company. So we only do ford customs.
