Gardener/landscaper
Pros : building nice things from scratch, not falling asleep in a boring office or factory, never working on the same place for longer as two/three weeks. Meeting all kinds of people
a lot off vacation/free time
Cons : well when it rains the whole day, it can be the worst job there is. It is hard phisycal work so i think i will be worn out in 15 years after now.

Biomedical research.
My specialty is Immunology and I primarily work in T-cell research personally (adhesion, chemotaxis, signalling, activation). I've also worked on breast cancer research, and looks like I may be switching to that as my next project after the current work is published (shortly I hope!). Our lab also does leukemia research - AML and ALL, lung cancer and solid tumor research as well as autoimmune disease research.
Pros:
- extremely flexible hours, come and go as you please once experiments are done
- can work in your PJs if you so please
- it's "important" work contributing a lot to the field of science
- personally satisfying
- intellectual work
Cons:
- sometimes erratic hours, as you're slave to your experiments and cells and things have to be timed exactly
- people think there is a lot of glory in cancer research, but there definitely ain't a lot of money
- your job security is grant-dependent

I work in the programming/scheduling department for FOX Sports Net.
Pros: I do something I love with people I like working with, and I get tickets, sometimes fof free, to a lot of sporting events, which pleases me.
I also get to experiment with different combinations of shows, so it's fun to see if the puzzle I build works well, or if it garners no ratings success.
Cons: Despite it being the TV business, I'm on the corporate side of things, so, I have the usual political crap to wade through, and just the general pressure of never really having long-term security. Nothing unique to my business, many of you experience similar circumstances, surely.
The pros beat the cons in a landslide.

I am a full time mum. 3 kids, 2 dogs and 1 husband.
Pros: 1. I am the boss
2. Lots of time spent with the people I like the most.
3. I feel I am doing my bit to make the world a better place.
4. I love my job.
Cons 1. I work 24 hours, 7 days a week
2. Isolation. Sometimes I feel if I tip my head to the side
my brain will drip out.
3. Lack of understanding from others - "But when are you
going to DO something with your life?"
4. No pay. This choice means we as a family do without a
lot of things other people call necessities. There is food
on the table and the bills are paid, but there isn't much
left for luxuries.
I am happy with my decision. The good things far outweigh the bad, and I get to feel like a rebel everyday! It is no longer the status quo to have your mum at home.

Pro's: I get my friends drunk
I get paychecks every month from Movies that my music is on
I get to meet interesting people everyday
Cons: The paychecks I get every month from Movie companies are for very little.
The people at the bar get drunk and repeat the same stories that theyve already told you. Sometimes a ghetto crowd that racks up a $ 300 tab and dont tip.
other than that, coolness
