Best: Leaving Science - lots more money, more travel, moved to a better city and found a wife
Worst: Studying Science - what was I doing? It was considerably harder than an IT degree and i'd be 3 years further on in my career now!

New Years resolution on my part - follow your lead and leave science. There's no incentive to stay :mad:

Guess what my worst career move was

Do you get lots of work on supply with higher level TAS?

I've never made a good career move.....

Best recent decision I've had: Give up with this country, and say hello to a shiny new one!:j

Worst career move: Not being brave enough to become unemployed.:o

I have never had a career, only ever had jobs and I would never class any of them as good or bad - just a way to earn a living.

I get enough to get by in my regular schools Phil, but they are being employed a lot more in some of the other schools :rolleyes:

Have made some bloopers in my life, but one of the worst moves was mving to a company with a drinking culture. The best move I have made in years was joining the company I am at now. I am treated well, and I have a brand new Volvo estate car being built to my spec as I write this, the company are doing their best to get it for me for my birthday on jan 22nd. I have had better paid jobs, but believe me I have worked for some awful people. The best feeling I ever had leaving a company was on resigning from a company in Cradely Heath that made cheap upholstery, my resignation letter was one line long.
