C9,
The recent spate of airliner crashes is just one of many things that makes me re-think my career choices - almost on a daily basis! I've done fairly well to get where I am today (50% luck/ 40% money/ 10% planning!) and so such thoughts do not come lightly.

Having said that, each time I catch myself thinking "I should have been a lawyer" I give myself the uppercut I deserve. I have myriad friends and colleagues that hate their jobs and seemingly live only to go out each weekend and drink/ socialise/ enter a fantasy land where all is right with the world. Now, don't get me wrong, I LOOOOVE this pastime myself but quite frankly I can take it or leave it. So long as I can sign on for work each day, sit in the right front seat of a large hunk of metal and let it take me places while only occasionally having to push a button or pull a lever, I think life is fairly sweet.
