Your job: Aeroplane pilot


Length of service: 10 years

Enjoyment level: Very enjoyable job. I love the flying to new countries every other week and the job is quite fun. I use auto-pilot mid air and hang with hot air hostesses. The landing and taking off is quite hard work as a mistake could be deadly. Apart from that I like my job. Hours are good for me as I dont like 9-5.

stress level: 5/10

Really only stressed in thunderstorms and dodgy weather apart from that I hang with the hot air hostesses and even knock back a few brandys.

pros:

Hot air hostess and travel the world are par for the course on this job. I love these perks.

cons:

Some times we get pain in the ass passengers. Especially those AL-qeda dudes. Gotta watch out for them. Also sometimes on the long haul flights it sucks to be stuck in the plane for so long but I got my psp ec..if I get bored.

required education:

Well you just need your pilot certificates and a copy of flight sim x helsp for home training. I stared of in a small plane and graduated to a boeing 747 over 2-3 years. Also need 20-20 vision.

]Your job: Governor of Bank of England and Chairman of MPC

duties:Varied, but the main one is keeping count of all of the cash in the UK

Length of service: I've been here since 1991, but they only gave me the keys to the safe in 2003. Things have got a little difficult since

Enjoyment level: Not as much as I used to. The safe has been empty for some time other than some IOUs which look like they're written in Chinese

stress level: Low - I'm normally tanked up on quality brandy by midday most days

hours: per day/week/days per week? 25 hours a week, including lunches and dinners. I have been working some overtime lately because I need to keep writing these pesky letters to the Chancellor. Something about inflation being high.

pros:I literally get to see all the new banknotes if I want. I also get to keep some, although there haven't been any spare lately.

cons: When I started someone told me I had to sign every bank note. It was 3 months before they told me they were joking.

required education: Surprisingly little. When I joined I told them I had my own pen and ink, and that seemed good enough. I spent most of my life in higher education and on various committees, so when they asked what experience I had and I said none, I was greeted with nothing less than knowing nods of approval.
