I'm an engineer too bro...still employed at moment but it seems this will probably change over the next couple of months. Mass lay offs at the moment where I work (one of the main consultancies). Graduated in 99 and have never been out of work before. Strange times...trying to work out what else I can do to provide for my family. One bonus is if it does happen it will be in peak surf season.

Cisco what's rubbing your cracker.

I guess it is people who don't know how lucky they are.

Take the job until a better one comes along.

Simular prob here...Hate the job I am in....pays pretty good....hate going to work....hate being at work....hate sundays because work is tomorrow...

Looking for a job that I know will defiantly pay less but will make a large part of my life happy.

As long as I can pay the Bills, eat and buy new toys every now and then, that will do me...

Had a quantum change in attitude toward work when I finally came to my senses and realised that the toys just dont do it anymore. The novelty wears out quicker than the toy. My time doesnt have a price on it.

So...you don't work?

I wouldnt really call it work. I'm building a house on my land in Fiji at the same time as creating a permaculture food Garden. We have an investment visa to run a Kiteboarding/watersports business.

I'll have to teach for as long as it takes me to train some local guys to do the job for me.

So yes and no. I took the cash and ran last year in March.

I think it would kill me to go back to a regular job!

That sounds pretty damn good.

I'd guess the job is a moderator on Seabreeze.com.au forums and the skillset is digging holes in the desert ?

We've already got a moderator here whose skillset is digging holes in the desert, unless I'm being replaced???

^^^^ maybe by someone over qualified, taking a pay cut....
