Not teaching or the civil service anyway @Bandage . The two most dead end careers out there. A good natured auld simpleton like yourself would thrive in one of those novelty old style sweet shops you see in most city centres. You could be tipping away at the cola bottles all day too.

The civil service could be an option now with the working from home though. Asleep on the couch half the day, zero accountability, zero expectations, just tip away doing your own thing getting a few jogs in. Go on strike then if someone asks you to respond to an email. Fucking soul destroying stuff but if you wanted to just tune in and drop out how bad.

It appeared to me that he was looking for job satisfaction, there’s a lot to be said for it
You could potentially have a real job going on the side.

I wasn’t including teaching in that more the civil service dregs. Bandage is just going through a midlife crisis, he doesn’t have the soul to actually seek fulfilment from work.

@Bandage I ponder like yourself all the time. I still dont know what to be when I grow up.
Self employed isn’t all its cracked up to be. The boss can be a cunt most of the time. All that said I don’t think I would go back working for someone else. But it’s not too late, you’re correct. Looking at a change myself too, we’ll see what happens.

I think you have a great future as a motivational speaker. You’re articulate, possess good internetting skills and have what appears to be a personable disposition. While not for a moment being disparaging toward your good self, that thick clod Bressie seems to be making a go of it, spoofing away and drawing in the coin.
You just need to formulate a pitch to become authoritative on, perhaps speaking to teams who’ve endlessly come up short or lads who want to change jobs because they’re fucked up listening to the likes of @Julio_Geordio boasting about afternoon naps after heavy lunches.
Any of the lads here would be happy to assist with a framework document and we could all convene at the 51 for a trial run over the Easter weekend.

Job satisfaction is overrated

Work for money to pay for your comforts and social life.
If I could have my time again I would do whatever would pay the best over the first 10 years. Something like a heavy fitter/mechanic and go work in some remote mine month on month off. You would have your travel paid for and could see the world one month at a time while banking good cash. Buy a house outright, re-skill in something when 31/32 and tip away for the rest of your days

All well and good until a Hutu rebel puts a cap in yo ass.
I’m in the constituency where their candidate, Denise Mitchell, got the highest individual vote in the country last time out. We’ve been here nearly 4.5 years & I’ve never seen or heard from her, received any party literature about her work or heard her advance any policy or local issue. Think she was unsure about whether to run last time & they weren’t overly confident she’d get in! They’ll run a second candidate next time around but my INTERNET indiscretions would surely count against me. I don’t think I’ll vote Sinn Féin next time around anyway, especially if Aodhán sorts out the school situation.

@Bandage at the risk of sounding like a cunt, you probably have a career and a life that is beyond 80%+ of the general population. Think more about what you have and what you can do with it, than what you don’t have.
Like many of the lads on here, you’re probably very well paid relative to the actual work you have to do. Do something good with that rather than wondering about what your path could have been.
I admire lads who get immense satisfaction from their job and when it genuinely makes a difference. For me, a job is something that affords me the things I want to do. It should never be something I care too much about as ultimately it’s someone else’s pockets that it’s lining.

Most teachers are bone fucking useless, bored out of their minds and stunningly demotivated. I’d a random customer call once- an unexpected bonus punter she was dressed in a tight fitting grey woolen jersey type miniskirt and top, she’d a nice figure, a friendly manner and a perfectly reasonable face…yet she was utterly neither attractive nor unattractive. When we’d concluded our deal i asked her where she taught. She looked at me for a moment and said, “i didn’t say i was a teacher”, after another thoughtful pause she sighed slightly and admitted, “I’ve just got that oul look about me, haven’t i”. It wasn’t a question. She knew, and she knew that i knew.
Is that really the kind of woman you want to be?
