Re: What job sector do you work in?

I was in Dhss (now Work & Pensions) for 35 years. Large government departments have a policy of changing the duties of employees every few years so that eventually that employee gains a wide knowledge, and also means that the work rarely becomes boring because new knowledge is being learned throughout the career.
The part of my career which I enjoyed most was the last 8 years, when I looked after the maintenance and refurbishment of a government building, and controlled all its budgets (except salaries), and had no contact with the general public other than maintenance contractors etc.
Sadly that job was being privatised, so I took up the offer of an early pension and retired
