    Coming into work, picking something relevant out of a long list of software features to work on, then doing it well.
    With occasional breaks digging inside a boat with a spanner, and doing some research and problem solving.
    Which gives me the money to keep the bus going.

    I seem to be doing it.

    I’m thinking of giving up my job of 21 years as a school teacher to drive a lorry. I have a class 2 licence but have never used it so it might be hard to get a job with no experience. Any thoughts from you drivers out there would be greatly appreciated.

  5. So retired really - I can recommend it !!

    Maybe a fighter pilot - but a friend of mine got killed doing that.

    I think a job that paid around £150k and didn't need any hard manual work
    - something like the CEO of an international charity
    or a judge whose family is in the oil business so I can put fracking p protestors in jail - sorry a bit political that one.

    Now how about a a lumberjack

    Ecobuilding ...
    Half tick. Wanted to build a hobbit house in the side of a hill but couldn't find, or afford, the right spot.

    Sculpture ...
    "Pending" and looking good for one's "retirement" alongside running a holiday let and doing the occasional wedding when we're not pootling around the coast of Britain in Bus number two .........

    Music ...
    Insufficiently driven and couldn't find the right teamsters

    Ceramics ...
    Had a go but caved as soon as commercial constraints came into it

    Photography ...
    The world went digital so I lost interest

    You get the picture ... Lots of things that were fine as an idea but which always failed in the cold light of day!

    You may be better doing a few weekends agency work to see if you like it first. Phone the agencies and explain your situation, they are quite approachable and definitely need drivers.

    After teaching, the simple thinking and rigid uniformity might be a consideration, but we’re a understanding bunch and won’t hold it against you ;)

    I quite like the idea of running a campsite. Though I suspect it’s not what I expect it to be.

    Even found this on evil bay...

    If we hadn't moved to the colonies I think I'd have been happy to have taken over my Grandads farm in South Ayrshire.

    A bit sad but always wanted to be a electrician and I made it.
    unfortunately after a few years I ended up as a facilities manager behind desk then got ill and now only work part time as a handyman dreaming of being a full time electrician again
