I like my current job; I'd just like loads more cash for doing it.

My former job in the Army. A medical discharge put paid to it which, looking back, was great as I was able to retrain at a relatively young age. I wouldn't want to be doing so after 22 years in. But I had little day to day politics/bullshit. Was given an objective and how I/my troop carried it out was, for the most part, down to us.

Rail Road engineer, I loved trains as a kid (still do) and it would be the job I would choose if I could have any job.

Of the jobs I have had, the one I wish I could go back to was working for an airline, I just haven't found a way back into the industry, was laid off in 2004 and the moved to Canada where finding one was difficult. (I held various airport jobs with the airline, never a pilot though, no interest in flying the planes.)

What i would really really love to do, is fly a Euro Fighter!!! We went to the Waddington Airshow and i think i was the only person in the place that got really excited (read, pee my pants excited) when it went up! Not something one can do an evening course in though!

Did consider Hairdressing but have not got the creative ability or inclination for small talk!

I love psychology so am thinking of doing that, just for my own interest.

My current job is dull - hence why i am online at 10am!
