I used to say I got paid (poorly) to watch paint dry! Prior to that I spent three years analysing mining samples for precious metal content. So all I knew were chemistry based jobs which were ok but career wise they were dead ends. I went for a job on the railway as it was a complete change of direction with prospects for future advancement.
Sometimes you just need to look at jobs you wouldnt really consider if you want a fresh start.

Thanks, Scouse. It's a good idea. I guess I'm just worried about finding another job and being unhappy there. Then again, why worry? It only promotes stasis.
How long have you been working for the railway?
