How do I find something else, that comes close? I can handle a drop in income, when things I've toyed with the idea off, mean a 50% cut, and that's too much. I've got another 20 years to go, work wise, and all I know right now, is that I can't keep doing this shit!
Similar to Bob and Rich above but work as a BMS Consultant. Been on the road commissioning, sales, project manager etc and I'm also bored senseless working with feckwits who would be geniuses if they knew half what they think they know "fecking useless Graduates - REGURGITATING PARROTS."
So like you say fella, get your finger out and THINK hard what you would like/enjoy doing and aim for it. If you tick along you'll follow a well worn track like us and be sick to shite of your job, hate going to work and with 20yrs left. I've only improved mine 4yr ago by going self employed and doubling my money.
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
