    Makes sense to me...
    Also, don't get a job which you are too passionate about otherwise you'll have no time for your hobby either

    Yeh, I've also read working is for plebs anyway.

    Hence why I stopped motorcycle sales. It's a sad day when you get to work to see "just another red Ducati"

    Much better to say that about flash cars

    Gotta say, after 8 years in IT, early on, plenty of passion, playing with my own gear etc. Now, any problems for myself are a groan, and I-just-want-it-to-work

    Yup. IT is great to start with. Gets a bit old quite quickly...

    Back on topic - if you can get a courier job doing longer distance work, I'm told that can be nice. When the sun is shining, at least.

    I did it for 2 years, thinking it was the greatest job ever, before starting to become disillusioned with it - so I went on holiday.

    When I came back I did it for another year thinking it was the greatest job ever, before I became that fucked off with it that I went on holiday.

    When I came back I did it for another six months thinking it was the greatest job ever before I though "Fuck this for a joke".

    Looking back almost 20 years now and I truly think it was the greatest job I've ever had.

    I've never felt so alive.
