1279416 2012-06-03 13:26:00 I'm currently an "Independent Delivery Contractor" for the Waikato Times. Sounds better than saying I'm a "paperboy" :D I'm 59 this year so I'm hardly a boy though! ;)

I deliver in town, mailbox to mailbox, start/stop is hard on the car though. It's just as well I'm a night owl as I start about 1 a.m. I can sleep during the day no problem at all, so it suits me really. I've had worse jobs.

I was unemployed for a year before this, it's certainly harder to find work when you're over 50.

1279417 2012-06-03 13:51:00 I worked as a Southland Times Independent Delivery Contractor for about Five years. I thought that Media Distribution Officer was appropriate as a job description. We used motor scooters down here so that you can ride right up to the letter box. I am now a bus driver. Most bus drivers are more mature and in their 50s or 60s. Bobh (5192)

Otherwise, I'm a sound engineer. The name is more impressive than the job.

My favourite part of the job is sound editing and sound manipulation. But mainly I set up and manage sound systems for anyone who needs one. It's a fun and very satisfying occupation - and very different from the usual run-of-the-mill line of work.
