Is it worth it? I suppose it depends on the timescale and how varied your career has been. It also helps to compare it with what others outside the mob have done. I guess we become a bit blase about moving around, doing various out of the ordinary jobs and living and working in other countries. I regard my career as unremarkable but compared with the lives and careers of the parents I meet at my daughter's school it seems amazing to them! Opportunities to live and work in UK, Grmany, Cyprus, The FI and the USA (twice) are not available to many. If however you look back at the last 5 to 10 years the decline of the service ethos and offer takes the shine off. On the whole I'm glad I have had a full career, but I'm not sure I shall miss the past few years once I do go.
