    I worked for the Environment Agency between the ages of 25 and 31 left and became a firefighter.

    I'm now 33 and studying full-time as a PhD student. I dread to think what I'll be doing when I'm 35!!

    I'm in my 40's and work part-time as a housing assistant. It's ok, well paid, so I won't leave, unless my OH starts making a shedload in his job. Best job was as a BT 100 operator, would still have been there now if the centre hadn't closed.

    15 years? Are you rich? If not then you should have found a job suited for your disability.

    Do you realise what an incredibly sweeping statement that is, based on very little information, and potentially incredibly hurtful?
