shakari Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Blimey. Reading some of these posts makes me realise how lucky I was! One piece of advice I'd (further) offer is try to be your own boss. Working for yourself is hard in some ways and the responsibilities usually mean you can't just walk away at the end of your shift but the upside is you don't have to put up with some moron giving you BS all the time. And hey, if all else fails, you can always buy my book and become a Professional Hunter in Africa......... It won't make you rich but you'll have a heck of a lot of fun!
