What Is Your Job?

[sapper756]

There was an interesting thread looking at the age span of pigeon fanciers on Basics.

 

It would be interesting to hear where or what PB members do for a livinghttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

 

So are you employed, if so, what do you do?

 

Or are you retired, if so, what did you do?

 

People seem to think all pigeon fanciers are old men with cloth caps who work down the pitshttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

I am a support worker with Lanarkshire Association for Mental Health. I support people who are experiencing mental health issues and have become detached from their community or families, the objective is to get them back on their feet and out and about, i get real pleasure seeing them regain confidence in themselves.

My training includes suicide prevention and crisis situation training, as well as simple things like food hygiene. Its not nearly the best paid work i've ever had but it is by far the most rewarding when i meet old clients and hear them say how well they are doing now.
