ack-ack Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 My dogs go everywhere with me. I love discussing my methodology with them before setting about some of the trickier jobs. Helps me get my head round a job better when I hear myself say it back. Been caught doing it before, the old girl must have thought I was as bonkers as she was. We got on great.

njc110381 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Well I can't say that the money is that great, but my job gets me outdoors every day and gives me the chance to take holiday whenever I want to. When I left school these were the things I wanted most - freedom to do whatever hours I wanted and to be outside rather than be stuck in an office all day. It also brings me into contact with a few well off land owners which doesn't do any harm for my hobby. As for as jobs go it's ok. I'll never retire early or get rich but I'll die knowing I've got what I wanted out of life - to spend as much time enjoying myself as possible.

paulf Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'm self employed, I guess what I like is the varied nature of things, not having to answer to anyone else and a glorified excuse to have dozens and dozens of different tools and equipment.
