What do downhillers do for a living?

What is the most popular form of employment / trade of Australian downhillers? If any? I predict electrician. Why? Because it pays well and it involves tinkering with things, plus alot of my friends who ride are, electricians.

This is post also doubles up to see who can't ride weekends due to work commitments.

I work in restaurants, meaning i work late, get up late, and work most weekends. This limits where I can ride and who I can ride with. It pays well enough, so I can buy things, but it's tough getting the time to use it!

Okay I'll play along with this, sparkys? Or only ridden with one - Moyes, I'll say most downhillers are tradies, but we all like to tinker.. But you ride with people from every kind of employment....

I feel like I'm in the worst job for a Downhiller. I'm the food and beverage manager at a 5 star hotel. Always coming in bloodied and bruised is less than ideal!
