Would love to break away from it but getting to the point where my pension will be really good if I stay.
When I hit 40 I decided to get some other qualifications, so I did some electrical stuff, city and guilds, nvq's, etc.Made me feel I had something else to fall back on. I have some coaching/assessing nvq's from my current job that are valid for anything you are qualified in.
I've been offered jobs that make me realise how lucky I am to have my current job.
But I still felt something was missing. So now I try to take advantage of my free time as best I can instead of dreaming I try and do.
I've built up a couple of vintage bikes, become a beer snob,improved my musical ability. It all helps !
Last year I decided to build a micro-brewery in my shed.
Six months later and a few brews on, the feedback I've had is amazing.
It's a great buzz.
Now I'm thinking of reducing my hours and devoting more time to it.
Maybe go and be a doctor in a developing country for a while?
