Mid-Life Crisis part 2

BALLS. I am going to have a heart attack. The world is not full of doctors, lawyers and scientists. Its full of salespeople. Its full of people who actually don't do anything much but live their lives struggling along and paying a mortgage.

I should do what my friend Paul has done, said f**k it, and travel the world endlessly, drifting from one temp job to another. Its the same ball game. Whats the point of staying in a country for more than 5 years if you have to change jobs twice ? A long term job doesn't exist anymore, and even if it did, competition is too high and the cost of entering too dear. Cost of total MBA education.... in debt for a decade. Yeah. And no work experience.

How Pandora's Box got opened ? I am dating a barrister and he is incorporated, and told me the facts about law in the UK. I saw a media film guy once, same thing. Runs his own ship. Scientist ? Met one last week struggling to find funding. Banking? From the horse's mouth.

I seriously need a stress ball.
