- Matt would like to have a go at other people's jobs, just to see what they're like. Please keep your suggestions in the YT comments. (It gets a little overwhelming if you're emailing and commenting and DMing!)

I'm a chocolate maker (sourcing cacao from around the world and making chocolate from scratch). Not quite sure how it happened, but people tell me it's cool. And that I smell of chocolate.
at least you dont smell like garbage ?!?
(confused emoji)
I like oddly specific jobs like this. Being trained in a very specific field, to do a job of which there are very few. The kind of thing you roll into because a position happened to open up. Not something you can go to school for.
I work with food and I'm curious about your chocolate; can I order it online or buy it from a shop in the UK?
+KC Dejos Sure, we do wholesale. Google "Damson Chocolate" and you'll find me if you're interested!
I actually spent 20 years as a freelance web developer, working for clients and building web toys. Also never interviewed for a proper job in my life. But eventually I got tired of sitting in front of a screen all day every day and fell into chocolate. I'm basically Tom ten years in the future.
I'm a linguist and archivist specializing in endangered languages. I work directly with Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, trying to overturn the effects of colonialism and globalization. Day to day I describe, order and assess linguists' manuscripts at our archive, and get in touch with those who could make the most use of them to revitalize their languages. Right now I'm at a conference where we're all genuinely concerned about putting our collective resources to the best uses and there is *so much potential*. It's heartwarming and exciting, but then you hear accounts from elders about kids getting grabbed with helicopters by the Canadian government and having to wash their mouths out with soap for speaking their languages just 50 or so years ago, and you remember the trauma that led to this. I can't picture another field I'd rather be in right now.
Id watch a series where tom does work experience at random jobs!
sgavy cool idea
I like it. Like Dirty Jobs or that Harder than it looks show with Andrew Younghusband.
Call it Tom Gets a Job! or something.
I'd watch that.
have you seen Rhod Gilberts work experience? It's a similar thing
Clearly it would be called "Nerdy Jobs".
Monty Python, The Bonzo Dog Band and The Rutles but we *need* Nerdy Jobs
Designing socks seems like a cool job.
I work as a postdoctoral research scientist in an immunology research lab investigating how inflammation in the eye works. Not gonna lie, I feel like I have the coolest job in the world, theres moments at work where you do an experement, and you get the results and you realise you're the only person in the world that knows this thing. That you just saw something no one else has. It's incredible to work on the forefront of science and realise that every day you're figuring out new things. It's such a privilege to do the work I do.
I guess knowing that the stuff you find out might save someone's life (or someone's eyesight at the very least) doesn't make it any less satisfactory either.
Indeed, but I don't feel like I can take any credit for that, that's a massive team effort of thousands of researchers around the world! The eye is very special in terms of immunology because its "immune privileged" meaning the immune system isn't meant to go nuts inside it, the eye is built and maintained so that inflammation shouldn't happen at all. We don’t really understand the basics of how this immune privilege is broken yet, that’s part of what I work on. I hope the combined efforts of all of us leads to new treatments in the coming years. To know you played just a small part in that is really freaking mindblowing.
I'm training to be a Biomedical Scientist myself, so it's good to know that there is fun in the job!
Well, Samantha, not only is your career cool, but you just taught me something about the eye that I never knew and never even considered. I'm now going to go and Google "immune privilege." I could be a while. Thanks!
ok ur rad
My idea of a cool job involves travelling. Hence why I'm a pilot. I'm one of those annoying people who gets up in the morning and can't wait to go to work.
be a truck driver or pilot mate
Can I borrow your enthusiasm some time?
That's exactly why freight train conductor appeals to me in such a way.
Though then again... Cargo plane pilot would also tick all those same boxes but give you a different view of things.
Just, far faster and easier to get the train conductor job... But less and less train jobs as time goes on and pilots may take a lot of training, but everyone wants to hire entry level pilots to shave cents off their costs.
I want to be a pilot!
im going after my PPL, but if i had the money for my ATPL and actually work for an airline, preferably KLM, im dutch so, i also most likely couldn't wait to get in the cockpit and fly a 777
If Matt likes operating machinery and making things, he should find a maker space and learn some machining. Using lathes, mills, etc is hugely satisfying.
It's not completely the same but I worked as a window fabricator for a couple of years part time while I was at college, it was pretty fun just cutting up stuff and making something, even if it is a little boring and repetitive. Only downside is it was a small business, so you had to carry large metal lengths of aluminium by hand, take out bins, load up vans and stuff too. :/
Anything that *creates* things. I wanted to be an architect growing up, then in high school I got tricked into doing computers by programming seeming neat, and got stuck just doing tech support for the last decade without enough financial security to really take a run at anything different.
So yeah, carpenter would be cool, not because of the fun toys you could play with, but because at the end you could look at the thing you carpented and go "Yeah, I made that."
Exactly this! I have worked for various ISP type businesses doing ops, support and software development, and it's quite depressing how little mark it leaves on the world.
Scott McIntyre similar thing happened to me, out of school i wanted to do something art related but i got pulled into doing a computer course, luckily i quit my 3rd year and now im turning my freelance animator hobby to hopefully be a job for life
I took a carpentry course in college. Being able to say “Yeah. I made that.” is pretty damn satisfying. Especially if it’s a table or something useful.
Not remotely as impressive as carpentry, but i sew plush toys/teddy bears in my spare time for that exact reason. I don't even sell them or anything I either give them away or keep them.
That's me as well. I love creating things. Coding, 3D graphics, making stuff out of wood...
Also, I don't want to nitpick, but making tables and stuff like that is woodworking. Carpentry is making wooden parts of houses.
"I'm gonna wipe it on this leaf." - I was really hoping the other thing would also not be a leaf.
If I had the resources ($$$ (my apologies, £££)) I'd go to school/university for the rest of my life and just soak up all of the knowledge that I could. As I grew up I went through several phases of "what I wanted to be when I grew up", including firefighter, meteorologist, and video game developer. But these days, whatever strikes me as a "cool job" is anything that someone else is doing that they're totally passionate about and in love with.
Also, film composer. John Williams is the man.
You missed out a closing bracket there, bud. ;)
)
+Daniel James everybody does
Yes indeed. That's why UBI would be awesome - so people can just learn. Well and possibly create. Without pressure.
I started my working life as a live audio engineer and became a B747 pilot. And am now studying as a doctoral researcher. Perhaps I'm living Matt's alternative life...
Matt has fabulous socks.
Maelstrom those are awesome! Thank you I would not have seen them otherwise.
They seem similar to socks I got from Primark
Cookie Monster
I'm a pyro technician and I think that's a pretty cool job.
Mitman1234 ... hells ya. how'd you get into it?
I wanted to say that how do i become a pyro technision?
I always thought about becoming a pyro technician, but decided that setting stuff on fire in my free time is fun aswell. like juggling with fire
Fellow techie here (of the non pyro kind) and that's cool. I'd love to get my pyro training
Chris Keuken I never planned to do it but it's fun when it's the gig. What is your area? Lighting, sound, video?
I make 3D models for video games. That's pretty much on point for what I've wanted to do when I was little (except 3D games were in their infancy at that point).
If I had to do a job not involving computers, I'd go for woodworking myself, not unlike Matt. But, unlike Matt, I've actually made a fair few bits of furniture from scratch and scrap wood, including my desk and all our kitchen cabinets. Great fun, that. The desktop is made from an old wardrobe door and, unlike just about any desk you can get at Ikea for a reasonable price, is wide enough to accommodate my multitude of monitors. Or rather, three of them. The fourth is wall-mounted above it. My bed would've collapsed years ago if I hadn't faffed with power tools and bodged it into working condition.
I'm studying to be a flight crew engineer for SpaceX, personally. The closer my eventual job title is to 'Scotty on the Starship Enterprise' the better. My backups are, in order: Underwater Welder (I've done some scuba and lots of welding), machinist, regular welder, and finally hazmat team member (great pay, very little experience required, plus hazard pay for anything more dangerous than usual).
how’s it going so far?
@@benmorgan7268 Bit of a pivot, tbh. Got more acquainted with the work environments I like, realized SpaceX is a burnout machine, and took a job in project engineering for a construction company. Not as exciting, but great work-life balance and good workplace culture.
Wouldn't it be great fun to have a go at some cool jobs?! Please let me know what you'd call a cool job, I'm genuinely interested! --Matt
Matt and Tom as a kid I always wanted to become a bike repair man... I reckon working with anything approaching 0K would be pretty 'cool' :P
Matt and Tom I reckon being an industrial pharmacologist is a cool job
Would love to do the job Hans Zimmer and John Williams have. A music composer for great movie productions.
Being a red arrows pilot
I actually think I'd like to be a cartographer but I think it's probably all done with computers nowadays. I'd love to be a professional student but I don't think that's a thing. I'd agree with the research lab thing!
That guy having a sneaky smoke behind the tree...
You should rename this channel "Geezers in the background".
I haven't been in the background yet.
Two minutes in and I have no idea what they are talking about, can't stop watching that smoking guy in the background.
Blokes in the Back
Spent 40 years as an air traffic engineer but since retiring I am now an accordion engineer, we a few and far between. I get to meet all sorts of really interesting people, this year it has ranged from school children to the Director of the Vernacular Music Center at Texas Tech University
what does an air traffic engineer do?
Have you got to meet Weird Al? =)
Does being an accordion engineer involve developing new innovations in accordion technology? Or mostly upholding the existing tradition?
Mostly just repairing the traditional instruments but there is scope for innovation in improving instruments
I have a personal interest in all of things that need to be done but you don't think about all the time. Example, my dad works at an envelope factory. Not something that everyone thinks about being produced, but still something that needs to be done. Those are the sort of jobs that interest me.
Oh those are cool. One of those invisibility type things
A job where you decipher/decode things but without complicated maths - translation, for example.
But where you also discover things - like archaeological translation etc.
I essentially want to be Irving Finkel.
Matt's socks are a thing.
Anyway, currently studying to become a professional train mechanic (as I also do some voluntary work to keep the train in my profile pic going. Basically, I like trains).
Vel0city wroom
I like planes
Because it is.
Vel0city Is that a reference to the asdfmovies?
You could make little trains out of wood?
Well, my dad’s a winemaker, and I always thought that was a pretty neat job. The amount of science that goes into that craft is actually a bit surprising.
As an aside, he’s also an amateur carpenter.
Is he Jesus?
Nope. But, now that you mention it - both my father and grandfather are winemakers, and both are pretty devout Catholics (as am I). In fact, that grandfather is a Deacon, and close friends with more than a few monks, nuns, and even the odd bishop or archbishop.
Professional Musician is a really cool job. It requires a LOT of training (as much as possible, the sky's the limit!) but it's super fun.
Yeah but it’s on a gig-to-gig basis(from my conversations with people in the field, may be wrong) and if you screw up a gig, it’s a scar on your portfolio and sometimes that really screws you over and could put you out of the game
Professional musician here. Yes if you screw up it's bad, but all professionals make mistakes. Look at sportspeople! I'd rather have someone who was excellent most of the time who occasionally drops the ball to someone who is only good consistently.
It requires more training than you think.
A couple of month ago I saw a team of 3 people placing spacers on an high voltage line (380 Kv). They were using a kind of bicycle with 3 wheels running along the cables. That I think it's a cool job ;)
Curator or related museum jobs seem pretty cool. Managing a collection, deciding what to display and how, researching the backgrounds, maybe even deciding what the museum should acquire.
yes! Absolutely what I wanted to comment. That and babysitting
Hello!
I am a physics PhD student in the uk and I frequently use a molecular beam epitaxy machine, in basic terms it grows semiconductors. I would have to ask, but would you like to watch how they are grown? Then Matt can also have a days work experience in a research lab.
P.S. there is such a thing a colour blind fixing glasses.
He is accepting video ideas via E-Mail.
I'm a plumber/heating engineer. It's good, I spend my time improving people's living conditions and solving lots of problems, not to mention the number of diverse people you meet. Only downside is that too many people recommend me & my colleagues so the hours can sometimes get away from you.
At the moment, online video really excites me. Something creative in that field would be a really cool job.
Failing that, creating in that space as a hobby would be neat, and hobby work is no less legitimate than work you get paid for.
i prefer compensation for making youtube videos LMAO "hobby" work is not paid, simple as that.
Shameer ॐ You missed my point, which was money doesn't make a task valid.
4:22 thank you for this, I think this is important for people to hear.
There are very few people who end up doing what they thought they wanted to do at school.
I love my R&D engineering job: coming up with solutions to problems, designing on a computer, having it built, testing it. The rush you get when it works as intended is amazing, and it pushes you through the next period of frustration, overtime, etc until you get the next thing done. I'd do it for free, but don't tell my bosses.
I can think of one reason why you wouldn't do your job for free: Then you'd have to get a different job to pay the rent.
Yeah but if I was doing something else, I'd still be trying to do this as a hobby
I work in mobile phone networks. No way they'd let me play with mobile phone networks as a hobby! ;-)
Matt! You have history in "media" production, look into volunteering at a local theatre when they open back up! That could be an opening to learn some basics and build from there while still being in a familiar environment!
Public Transportation planning or urban planning are cool imo, even though it's mostly an office job
My dream cool job is either blacksmith or knifemaker. I agree that jobs with objects are so much better (for me) than desk jobs. There's something awesome ablutlooking at something at the end of the day and saying "This here, this is what I've done today"
Concerning "what is a cool job?" Factory enginneer. Like playing Factorio, but better :D Planing a factory for "ressources in, product out" and building it and then having it start up and work smoothly (or fail very very big :P).
This video has one of the best comment sections on youtube!
I don't have a specific dream job but something involving social sciences and culture. I would love people to be more accepting of individuals from different backgrounds to their own.
I started a degree in design (visual communication), then I started geophysics, then biology, and lastly geography. I never finished any of my degrees while being 8 years in university. But in the meantime I got a job as a guide in an old observatory. One thing led to the other, and now I teach astronomy courses in 4 different places, I do astronomy lectures for groups, and started my own astronomy business. I have almost no formal knowledge in space-stuff, and non in teaching. I just comes naturally from things I taught myself.
New series: "Matt and Tom's Work Experience"
I'm a software engineer at RUclips. I'd like to have a go at serious game development, but that's probably just being greedy. I've already got an amazing job..
I'm in college for 3D animation and there are so many niche, intricate jobs within animation that you'd never expect to be a whole job. Like you can make a whole career out of just texturing character models, or rigging characters, or simulating particle effects. CG lighting is a whole department. Just look at the job titles in movie credits- it's incredible how specific it can get! In 2D animation for big studios like Disney, they often have someone whose sole job for the show is coloring. They just get to color things! For money! To pay rent and the like!
Matt, your socks are amazing
Matt can come and build theatre scenery with me any time!
I don't work as one currently, but I LOVE doing work as a museum exhibit designer/fabricator. People just present you with crazy ideas and a budget, and you have to figure out how to make their vision happen using all sorts of different materials and techniques - carpentry and welding and sowing, all sorts of stuff. It's the best!
I'm obsessed with audio, Matt i envy your job so much
I design Theme Park rides. It's an amazing job but not 100% fun, it's a lot of work requiring patience, attention to detail, and ability to collaborate with many many different types of people and professions. I'm currently working for Universal and you'll be happy to know my ride does not use 3D glasses, but yes, I am squirting water at the guests.
That’s honestly really interesting! I’m really interested in the theme park industry - a dream job for me would be working at somewhere like Mack (the roller coaster manufacturing company). How did you end up working at Universal on their design team?
Nemesis Rider I've been in the business for about 12 years now, worked at a lot of design firms. It's like any part of the entertainment business, get a foot in the door and work you way up. It's a reputation business more than a resume business. I have worked with Mack one 2 projects. Great company and their park, Europa Park, is a gem nestled in The Black Forest. They do great work.
OK, I'm always interested to hear how people in the industry get there. I visited Europa Park once for a couple of days - lovely place, I think it's definitely on par with Disney and Universal!
Just curious - were you interested much in rides and such before getting a job at Universal?
Yes, you should both go do that, immediately.
The trial plane lesson, that is.
"Hi, I'm Matt!"
"And I'm Tom!"
"And this - is a flight deck!"
As a kid I wanted to be an archaeologist, then I went to uni to study 3D (for movies and games), was unable to find a job in that industry, and now I'm working at a warehouse. This autumn I'm going back to school to study programming/computer science.
I think something I would really like to do is work on set, or prop making for movies, or creating museum exhibitions, specifically with some sort of vr/ar twist to it.
Love the active scenery in this one!
As bizarre as it sounds, becoming a teacher is my dream job, and I'm off to uni next year to get the qualifications. Teaching let's you shape the next generation of people, let them do what they want and not force them to conform to what they 'think' is good or are told is. Personally just think its a pretty cool job but in a different sense
Hey! Teacher of 5 years here (I feel old saying that) - hope you're enjoying your teaching journey now :D
Work experience is so important. It's terrible that so many professions aren't open to it. Part of my job is arranging work experience in various subfields of game development and 3D art, because very few game studios can offer such experience.
For the record, "Matt and Tom get their private pilot's licenses" would be a fun video series.
Watching this 6 years on explains a lot of "Matt Gray is Trying" to a surprising degree
I always wanted to be a dentist as a kid. Then I didn't get into the school I wanted and I learned about the joys of Geographic Information Systems in community college. I always liked maps and computers, so it turned out to really be a win-win situation.
Purin1023 what do you use GIS for? Cultural or environmental mapping? Or something else? Or are you developing GIS-solutions? :)
cool jobs are always doing something you would do in your free time
Frothar I like baking but I would never work for a bakery, I feel like I would't enjoy it any more.
Quite frankly, I think what you guys are doing is a very cool job, if you can make end's meet or more.
You guys get to show off amazing things all the time!
I already a cool job. I'm a emergency department nurse. Helping people at their most vulnerable time.
Finishing high school, going into college, I thought I wanted to be a surveyor, and that I *didn't* want to be in IT. I studied land surveying in college, minoring in computer science. 30 years later, I have a 20 year IT career behind me with no regrets (about the career). But I've also had the opportunity along the way to be a race car mechanic and a bicycle mechanic. Like Matt, I'm also interested in carpentry and woodworking (I have to partially blame RUclips for that!), but have never seriously tried my hand at it, aside from the occasional bodging together of a bench or some garage shelving.
"A cool job is one that uses objects"
So a programmer...
There are very few jobs where zero objects are involved.
I drive heritage trams at my local historic park, and additionally help maintain some of the tech exhibits. It's such an interesting thing to do, because it's learning about a bit of everything, from logic circuits in automatic exchanges, to restoration and modification (you basically have to be an inventor to get some things to be compatible with current tech so we can have working displays), woodwork, and many aspects of the past century of history where I live.
I always thought being a civil engineer would be a really neat job. Working out the loads and pillar placement and whatnot of bridges in particular always struck me as something very interesting and satisfying to do.
Omg you need to do the flying training with virgin! That would be an awesome video
I wanted to run a takeaway restaurant that has a gym next door that would harvest power from the machines to power the restaurant
That is a heroically odd ambition :-)
I've always found video editing and directing interesting. I think anything where I help tell a story cool
I'm a pilot for a UK short haul airline and I think it's pretty cool. It's not the glamour that I think a lot of people imagine it to be, but I get to see some pretty amazing places and meet a lot of interesting people every day. Yes, I may not get off and go and see these places very often at all yet I still get to go to up to 3 different cities a day. It's a pretty complex machine and, yes, the machine does take a lot of the workload out. The most fun is going back to basics and flying it all yourself, it's extremely satisfying. Next time you go flying just ask the crew if you can pop in and have a look while everyone is getting off, we love visitors!
It doesn't matter how cool the job is, you can always get fed up with it.
lmao @ the dude who went to hide behind the tree
Dora Dobrican When in the Video?
At the start. The dude with the red jacket
I've always been interested in things like being a lecturer for English Literature but the jobs I've found to be some of the coolest are the presenters for "Secrets of the Castle" and "Tudor Monastery Farm". The fact they know so much about their chosen area and the way they present that information is so so cool
You two trying a bunch of interesting jobs could be a great series.
Archeology is pretty cool
Depends if you just dig or you're an expert in medieval brickwork who can also read dead languages. I know some digs use volunteers for the grunt work, but if you work in a museum or something you probably earn more than you would stacking shelves at least
Archaeology doesn't pay well, especially considering the amount of schooling- right out of graduate school with a Master's, I worked as a bioarch excavating human remains for $15/hr.
Iona Cloran Yayy, I'm going to be studying archaeology! Joint honours in archaeology and anthropology. I suspect I won't get high-paying jobs from that degree, but it's just so interesting :)
Iona Cloran agreed, I totally wanted to be an archeologist as a kid, I just kind of like sticking broken stuff back together...
research historian is also pretty cool for me!
My idea of a cool job is some kind of manager. It gives you excuses to put lavish dinners on the company bill and lets you look after a load of people and be responsible for them.
I'd say a professional classical soloist. You get to travel the world and play with all sorts of orchestras and make really good music. Also, a standing ovation feels REALLY good (even for me as a student) and it's really rewarding.
Sorry I'm 3 years late, no one's ever going to see this.
As my work experience from school... I was very lucky. I worked as a fitter at a rail maintenance depot.... We worked on the class 47 diesel trains of the time... We also were lucky enough to get to drive the locomotive around the depot, not on public lines but around the depot. It was wonderfull. Also it gave me a taste of my actual job that i had for 13 years... Mechanical Engineering - Fitter / setter.
Matt, you have got the best sockes ever!
Urban Planning!
Fun to rewatch this after Matt Gray Tries has been produced
I'm a land surveyor. We use sophisticated equipment (GNSS, Robotic Instruments, Drones, Sonar) to describe land - and anything constructed by humans - with math. You guys have shown some survey monuments in your videos before, I think it would be cool to see how/if surveying is different in the UK (I've never been outside the US) Surveying is an ancient profession that is extremely vital to our infrastructure as humans, yet most people have no idea what my job is or how I do it. Besides GNSS, it's actually not even that complicated. There's no school or education beyond HS/GED required and most companies don't require experience for entry level positions. That said, I've been doing this for almost 7 years and I still have a lot to learn. I love my job, it's endlessly interesting and entertaining but the best part is the cool places I get to go on a regular basis.
5:39 FORESHADOWING
Hmmm what ISN'T a cool job....I'm in college doing physics at the moment which I love (though it doesn't love me back!). At the moment I want to be a meteorologist (THEY PREDICT THE FUTURE HOW COOL IS THAT??) or atmospheric physicist. I would also love to be an outdoor pursuits instructor or a blacksmith (I did metalwork in school and I loved it to bits-I suspect I would be doing an apprenticeship in that if my school hadn't been so academically focused). I wouldn't say no to translating for the EU either, nor to teaching science and/or maths. It would also be pretty cool to do mapmaking, or make a marine version of google maps because nautical charts are rather inaccessible. Professional dance would be amazing too, and I have always held that if it all goes haywire I shall go and live in a shed up a mountain and keep goats and bees. I want to do so many things!
Awesome park bench today! I think a train driver would be cool as well!
I've always loved the idea of being a bicycle frame builder
I would love to get paid learn dying languages. I would happily trek deep in the jungle or mountains and live with the last speaker of a language. I would learn that individuals language, record the grammar and vocabulary and learn the history of the culture and the individual.
Time to get into linguistics (or history, or sociology...) and start applying for research grants, I guess...
What about conlanging as a job?
I like to imagine that the "We're going to end it..... Now" bit went on for another 1 or 2 minutes.
6 years later, and Matt Gray is trying happens. Love it
This gon' be good.
Mahj oh hi mahj! I met you at Skaerbaek 2016 😀
Bachaddict Hiya! Fun running into you here :)
Why should we be limited to one job? Why can't we be allowed to do multiple unrelated subjects.
Because we live in a society that has long-since prospered on the benefits of job specialization. Generalist jobs are few and far between, and there just aren't enough hours in the day to learn to be great at everything.
By all means, pursue your various interests, but don't expect to be able to do so professionally. Eventually, you kind of have to pick something to focus on, and try to fit the other stuff in between.
was going to say something along the lines of this, but you nailed it on the head. the fact is, if you can do something well half the time, someone else doing it full time will probably do a better job.
I've always been delighted and fascinated by, hmm. The kind of obscure old-fashioned crafty jobs? Bookbinding and restoration and pottery and fur-working and that kind of thing. Otoh, I'm working at a library and that's pretty much my dream job, so!
Tried a sample flying day with both fixed wing and helicopter. Definitely recommended. Didn't take it any further as a hobby myself, but very glad to have scratched that itch.
I want to be an Elon Musk
I like independent jobs like truck drivers and things
Went from doing my apprenticeship as an Arborist to being a roadie, then computers, some odd labouring jobs, making custom wood furniture to now studying Audio Engineering at UNI...
I've always found moving between fields to be the most interesting, makes life more enjoyable.
My back up plan was also Train Engineer! I have been working in libraries for 16 years now, it's amazing to literally see the variety of subjects and learn a thing or two every day.
Alright who disliked already
Super Catman 2kliksphillip probably
Caleb Robertson What's wrong with him?
Someone who didn't like the video?
Maybe?
Just a thought...
My Dream job would either be rapper or Labour MP :P
That'd be awesome ;)
Oddly enough, I find myself very much like Matt. I work in the AV industry, doing the more technical side of things. I also enjoy creating things with my hands. From wood and metal working, to electronics and circuits, and even sewing and crochet. I was working on some crochet while watching this video, and it's pretty fricken relaxing.
I work in an ornamental metal shop and it is awesome! You get to operate small and big tools, you get to use fire, and you get a finished product in the end!
Research Mathematician
Me too
I am currently in school to work with Programming Logic Controllers, 6-Axis Robots, and other various Industrial control systems. Basically the computers and machines that run a manufacturing line like at Ford Motor Company or the conveyor belts that make up Amazon's distribution centers. I love working with the controls systems and being able to see the machines accomplish a task.
For me, most things that involve problem solving. Probably in almost any sphere. I really enjoy being that guy who comes in and finds an answer when others couldn't. Totally love those moments in life.
Go work on a farm for a few years.
I studied electronic engineering at uni then worked on a farm for 5 years. Best experience you could ask for. It was hard work - you have to do everything - but you learn to do such a wide variety of things. Driving big stuff, building stuff, working with people and animals, cash handling, project management. Some days suck - I've spend hours in the rain paddling around in cow poo because a bit of machinery has broken, but it makes you appreciate the days when it's sunny!
