Why are a lot of PH members guarded about their occupations? Obviously, I could understand if they were making their money from something shady, but I'm sure that would only account for a fraction of posters. It seems the vast majority of user profiles I look at don't reveal occupation... most either don't reveal is at all, or put a quip in there.

Is occupation something these folks simply consider private? Seems a bit strange to me, that's all!

Nobody has to say what they do, as everyone on PH are company directors. Get with it noob.

No secret here - work for Tesco & a catering company based at Cheltenham Racecourse which is all I have been able togetvsince I lost my job in May 2011.

Tesco is a st job, the racecourse job is great fun.

Looking for something full time but the job market is tough & I'm having no luck - anyone get any use for a 53 year old credit controller? If so PM me.

If not hey ho!
