Absolutely awesome and one of the most personally rewarding things I've ever done, though I would recommend going to university to do it rather than OU because you need the exposure to other people's work and the competition in my opinion.

JOB
IT Continuity Manager
Company
A big bank (with a horse!)
Day To Day
Being Continuity Manager this is a 24/7 job waiting for something serious to fail or for a major incident (terrorist/flood/fire &c) to occur. Most of my day-to-day work is just monitoring things (equipment rooms &c) and preparing reports/presentations.
Perks
Good money, holidays (30 + bank holidays), pension (40/60), life insurance, very good sickness cover (diagnosed with Crohns recently and spent 9 of the last 18 months off work).
Downfalls
Not many unless we invoke contingency or have a major crisis and then I can be working all hours (24+).
Do You Like Your Job
I can't complain. Some bits are great some not so great.

Job Title:
Research and Development
Company
Equity Insurance Group
My Job:
I track rates for whole company. For the most part my job is to do statistical analysis on our products, and break down what insurance brings in what money, where it comes from, how much of it goes out in claims. I further break it down in to average premiums, premiums by vehicle, area, age, ncd.. in fact i can run stats on pretty much any factor of insurance that my boss asks me to do. So many spreadsheets
On a wider, monthly scale, i also do market analysis. I run stats on where our products place compared to other insurance companies given a certain product or factor. Different insurance companies aim for different sectors of the market. Some like high premium high risk, others like low premium low risk. It's my job to find out who is doing what, and more importantly, who is doing it the best.
Perks
I dont really enjoy any perks as such. I have access to any training that i want, which is nice. I've tried to cram in as many SQL courses as possible so far, hopefully moving on to other languages soon. I dont use any otehr languages, but i get to learn them anyway. Useful for the future! Otherwise i get a few discount vouchers for various things. 25% cashback from the panasonic estore this month! Might get that 47" TV i'd been planning.
Downsides
Sitting in an office. I've put on over 4 stone since i started workign here almost 2 years ago. This isn't a bad thing, i was 8 stone when i started! but comign from being a Chef, all this sitting down feels a lot like ime wasting time. It's an odd feeling, but i dont think i'm cut out for this forever.
Education?
GCSEs and 2 AVCE's. I passed them all with good grades, but i couldnt stomach another few years of education. Sometimes i regret it, but rarely. Having a degree wouldnt have opened any doors that have so far been closed to me, anyway.
Do you like your job?
Yeah, s'alright. The job itself is quite interesting, and i enjoy being an important cog in a very large money making machine. I dotn thnk i'm cut out for sitting in an office though and i doubt i'll be doing it for much longer. I plan to go travelling for a year and find work while i'm doing it. My girlfriend has just graduated (like, right now she's at her graduation!) as a Marine Biologist, and she's a Scuba instructor. We've pretty much made theplans that we'll end up somewhere tropical and open a dive school. I can handle the shop side and she'll deal with the diving. I might even drive the boat. I'd love that

Well I lost the job a little while back but
JOB: General manager
COMPANY: Ultralife
DAY TO DAY: Making sure everyone is doing their jobs, doing them well and efficiently. Also making sure that all products were to the highest standard possible. Looking at new ideas (rechargable battery packs were the main thing before I lost it)
PERKS: Lots of fag breaks, my assistant did a fair bit of the work. Tescos down the road sold krispy kremes.
DOWNSIDES: Over an hour commute which was daunting if i was starting very early (which I had to sometimes to meet demand of the office in newark).
EDUCATION: Degree in business, A level in business, A level maths. Are all that really applied. Not ideal but I started low down and shot up the ladder.
DO YOU LIKE YOUR JOB: It brought the bacon home, well, a lot of bacon.
Glad I left though, working with americans gets SO DAMN ANNOYING.

Sales Executive
Company
Lightmaker - www.lightmaker.com
Digital agency specialising in web design. We work with the likes of EA Games, Activision, BMW, Manchester United, JK Rowling, Emma Bunton, MTV, Nike, Microsoft, Adobe, Sony, British Government, Bacardi, Nintendo and more.
Day to day
I am responsible primarily for bringing in new business. This involves creating new leads through networking and other methods, writing proposals, coming up with creative thinking for the web, doing presentations and pitching ideas to clients.
Managing a project from a commercial/sales perspective. Conducting user testing sessions, etc etc.
I also deal with some existing accounts. For example I am the Account Manager for EA Games, currently I am working on a project for them developing the Spore website within the UK and other European territories.
Overall Job
I spend most of my day in the office but more often than not find myself travelling to London. We have offices worldwide so there are occasions where I spend time at those, unfortunately I have only visited the Manchester office so far.
Perks
Health Care, some rewards when I make a big sale, free meals and free drinks when we go out.
360, Wii and PS3 in the staff room to play on when we wish. Full Rock Band set too
Table football tables.
Free games from our gaming clients.
Downsides
The job can be stressful and some days are less exciting than others. I rely on a lot of other people to do my job effectively which can get me down at times, especially when those people are not doing as they should.
Education?
I did my GCSE's and then went to college for 4 years. The first 2 years I did an ND in Graphic Design, I then did a further 2 years and completed an HND in Graphic Design
Do you like your job?
Most of the time yes. I am more excited about my future within this industry rather than my existing role.

Your job sounds good! I see you are a 'proper' engineer from a 'proper' university
I am debating weather to change from manufacturing engineering to innovative manufacturing engineering (basically the masters). You find the extra year helped much more?
Bet you get paid a pretty penny for your age as well

Job
I am an Applications Developer
Company
I work for a company called Sefas Innovation Ltd (www.sefas.com), they deal in document composition and print management software. For example your BT bill that is composed by our software and then run through a print job management program which is also ours.
Day to day
At the moment I have just started a project for HBOS I&I (Insurance and Investment I think), to 'ADF' (Automated Document Factory) it. This involves adding 2d data matrices to the document and changing the print format to Kodak type output. Not to mention mailsorting it which will save HBOS oodles of money on Royal Mail type bills
Overall Job
Not been too bad, with offices in Boston and Paris i've had my fair share of training at both locations. More recently I've even provided training and 'consultancy' for customers who have bought our products.Most days I am sat in front of the computer though.
Perks
My main perk is definately my support role. i.e. I go on 24/7 callout every couple of weeks on first or second line. This gives me
1st line: 250 extra for a week
2nd line: 150 extra for a week
Every new call: Extra 100 ontop of the above
I haven't had a call for months mind you, so basically I get paid quite a bit extra for carrying a phone around for a week.
Downsides
Can be very very boring.
Education?
I have 2:1 in Computer Science from Bristol ....... UWE
Do you like your job?
Sometimes, I do need to move on, but the company is paying for more training at the moment so I might as well take advantage of it.
