    I'm a school bursar... but I want to play poker for a living, and do temp contracts every now and then just to interact with other human beings - and cover the slow-earning periods!

    Interesting thread. I currently work in the Pathology Department of the local hospital but I really really want to have a karaoke bar in Spain. Sunbathe all day and sing all night :)

    Is that with the OU? I was in the first run of that course last year. Failed but I was suffering depression at time, and just couldn't motivate myself. Have kept the study materials though, as its got some very good information in it as far as I am concerned.

    Fascinating thread, what a varied bunch we are. I'm a freelance writer and editor. I jacked in my last proper job 12 years ago and whilst the freelance life has its stresses, I wouldn't go back to employment unless I really had to.
