Pole/match fishing. Get to play with the best, most expensive kit (and keep loads), hang around with people like World Champion Alan Scotthorne and basically get to see some nice places and go fishing a lot. It's great, and I can just take photos of everything.
I work in Dover, so quite often walk past the coastguard station up on the cliff.
I will give you a wave next time I pass
I'm somewhere between being a student and being unemployed but as of October I'll be working as a Geologist (I fancied a break after nearly 8 years of Uni!).

Legal Assistant with a view to find a Training Contract to be a Solicitor in the near future.
I work in the litigation department in the firm that deal mainly with Norwich Union General Insurance. Therefore our cases are 95% are defendant work in road traffic accident cases and on my desk there are cases from basic damages to cars, whiplash, death to people requiring life time care and assistance. So I submit stuff to courts, do letters to client, barristers, court and experts. I also get to see a lot of "restricted" materials from the police and GP records of claimants, I pretty much get to see someone's life story in some cases in front of me.
