If you don't work IT, retail, or food service what do you do for work?
Sometimes on Lemmy these seem like the only jobs that actually exist, but I'm sure there's a lot of people here with different and unusual lines of work.

Genuinely jealous of this one
Can I ask how your day-to-day is? Is it stressful, or with long hours?
I've always wanted to get into aerospace, but it's such a tough market to get into!!
Depends what's going on. Its very different if I'm in the design phase of a project or assembly and testing.
I really enjoy CADing and designing in general. And I'm fine writing documentation, procedures, assembly instructions. Pretty smooth for me.
Once production starts and things go wrong, we need to investigate, fix the issues, and sometimes we're chasings ghotsts. This is the stressful part. I'm currently in it, and I'm pretty stressed these days.
