Although money ...Hi Nick, thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Although money is needed, just so you can live. I cant and wont let this guide me into my next job. I need to feel like I enjoy it. Thank less jobs where you see that you aren't helping or changing anything are not good for your mental well being.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-19400690269790603612014-09-03T15:28:50.622+01:002014-09-03T15:28:50.622+01:00I've always done jobs I enjoy, usually not wel...I've always done jobs I enjoy, usually not well paid, rather than do well-paid jobs I would hate. I'm currently working for a voluntary organisation and intend to keep working as long as I'm fit and healthy as I enjoy working.<br /><br />I have precious little to offer except an excellent grasp of English and good computer and admin skills, but I've managed to land a wide variety of jobs so far.<br /><br />I think your future proofing idea that combines a long-term income stream with a rewarding hobby is a good one.<br /><br />As for our home, it's in good order and mortgage free.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-79443803978499823712014-09-02T21:52:31.032+01:002014-09-02T21:52:31.032+01:00Hey John.

There wont be any money from the state when I retire. <br /><br />Have you any big plans when you retire?Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-49622992707606373322014-09-02T21:16:01.512+01:002014-09-02T21:16:01.512+01:00I can't wait to retire

But money isn't always the most important thing. I have done jobs that pay peanuts, but the people I worked with really made it and we all loved it!<br /><br />The PM is a little wishy washy for me. He is reactive not proactive. Now Boris Johnson, I really like him. Lots of people hate him. But for me he seems to really give a sh!t about stuff. and thinks long term.<br /><br />Susie, if I had kids I would train them and coach them from a young age to have 2 streams of income. One in something like robotics or scientific climate change or something chemical based like pharmaceuticals (people are always sick). then the other stream should be something that is a hobby. say carpentry or something else that is a real craft artisan level. <br /><br />I am afraid if I had kids I would drive them mental pushing them all the time. *sigh*Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-51510803357244655602014-09-02T13:54:44.837+01:002014-09-02T13:54:44.837+01:00I like those career tests.

I worked as an accountant for 20 years, for a company I detested, but the pay was good and I had a wife and kids. I regret the lost years but the money helped us do things we couldn't have done otherwise.<br /><br />Congratulations on having a Prime Minister who is willing to do something to protect your country. I saw part of his speech on letting terrorists back into the country.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the lame brain we elected says "we have no strategy" for dealing with ISIS.<br /><br />Good to read your posts again.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.com
