Business Analyst in insurance/IT, £59k, 30 years old.

Formerly worked as a contractor which paid nearly double, but the benefits of it being 5 minutes from home and the security with a new baby prompted me to switch to permanent.

I absolutely hate it (the career choice, not the job itself) - IT and Business Analysis is unbelievably tedious. But I'm pretty much trapped, as without commuting to London, I will struggle to match my income elsewhere, and a change of career would mean a significant drop.

Plan to "enjoy" working close to home for another three years while plans for baby no.2 get underway and boost my CV with some extra qualifications, before returning to contracting - pay and tax benefits make it a no-brainer...

Scuba Diver. Contract to various oil companies through a London agency. Depends on project (support crew or active) but usually about £300 GBP a day. Few benefits and pay a lot for travel insurance. Travel is great in Abu Dhabi/ Dubai mainly but longs stints. Spent 2 months there a few months back. Waiting in a decompression chamber for most of it. When active you usually do a day or night shift repairing valves and lines.

Dog Groomer, self-employed. Aiming to earn £25k gross working from home. That's on a fairly part-time basis. I am expensive so quality customers rather than quantity. I will be having a lot of long weekends.
