I was briefly a shepherd, but I chose to make a career ewe-turn.

This thread shouldn't have been a game unto itself.

I used to be part of a team of venetian blind salesman, but then my boss said it was curtains for all of us.

I was once an elevator attendant, but after I while I realised that the owners were giving me the shaft.

I was a watchmaker but I left because the boss kept winding me up.

I was a weather forecaster for a while, but left under a cloud.

I also tried being an attendant on the QE2, but I missed the boat.
