As I said, I was too old at the time (unless I trained privately)-and-I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now. So, for me, it was ultimately the right thing to do
If you don't mind me asking, what ARE you doing now? As far as I can tell there's never been a moment where you haven't been on the forum...
Keeping busy.
ahhhhhh, Well, some people get all the best jobs...
Paid to go on the forum...
Then you know what to do... having a plan is a good thing; I certainly didn't when I was your age, so I drifted in and out of appaling retail jobs until my early/mid 20s... and I've been in this damned indistry ever since...
And that statement comes from how many years of experience, Jack?
