    I wake up with a smile, do whatever I want to, then go to bed with a smile. I'm retired and it's not a job, it's an adventure.
    0.5mm vs 0.7mm graphite sizes is much like 9mm vs 45acp...they both work if you know what you are doing. - me

    The principle of the reductionist's work, according to which complex phenomena can be fully explained with the help of laws peculiar to more superficial phenomena. It seems that the example of the sheriff's profession is the most accurate example of all possible. You said everything correctly, and I don't even have anything to add. The only problem is that such a job is unsuitable for those who cannot work all day. People work at several jobs simultaneously, and everyone is looking for weekend jobs where they will be able to work in their free time and receive a salary.

    I'm retired now -- twice actually -- but my original career's reductionist job description was, 'telling people where to go and how to get there - and getting paid for it'. See if you can 'sus' out what I did to earn my daily crust. I'll PM whoever gets it or comes closest.

    When I was young and rough, my best mate's dad would come round to the bar looking for hands to help catch wild horses, buy a round, and ask:

    "Anybody wanna get kicked, stomped on, or killed?"

    Couldn't resist. (Nobody got killed.)

    An interesting discussion, I especially liked the way you talk about your work with love. I would also like to find a job that will be to my soul. I have excellent professional skills in the field of psychology and thanks to https://uk.careersbooster.com/cv-help/ an excellent resume. But alas, I have not yet found any vacancies that would satisfy my requirements for work. I still have everything ahead of me.

    Sorry for bumping into an old conversation. It's funny how job descriptions can be so reductionist sometimes, right? Your chemist description definitely made me chuckle! And now as a funeral director, your answer is both straightforward and slightly eerie, haha! But hey, it's important work that requires a certain level of sensitivity and care. As for me, I work as a vet assistant. It's a rewarding job where I get to help take care of furry friends and ensure their well-being. And, by the way, are you interested in Animals & Pets careers? I think it's a field where you can make a meaningful impact while enjoying the companionship and love of our amazing animal friends.

    Well now that this thread has been bumped. I’ve moved companies so I would now say:

    I provide the alternative transport for large numbers of people, for both planned and emergency situations.

    My former colleagues would say the gamekeeper has turned poacher.
