Great job, I get to see some very expensive and interesting stuff, electricity is taken for granted massively.

I have been a bit of a career "tart" having been an Train Driver on London Underground, a flying instructor then qualified as UK Commercial Pilot but couldn't find a job (early 90's) now lapsed, computer programmer, database administrator, engineer and support consultant, trained as a driving instructor but didn't like it, and more recently ran my own Computer Shop selling, upgrading and repairing computers and network services.

Now, not really doing much as my wife has taken early retirement due to health and I have sold the shop and I am just doing the odd bit of repair work from word of mouth and run a web design and hosting business for local customers... nothing big.

I am seriously considering applying to the Police when they next recruit (yes they are still recruiting!) possibly in April. I need something more substantial and more of a challenge... we'll see.

As for my career I install cat5 and cat6 data cable and also fibre optic data. In addition to this I also terminate the cable in the coms room and user end.

My advice is don't if you are qualified for other things. Most people are trying to get out, including me!

Still do the same thing:-

[COLOR=#333333]I am office based, the only thing different from my original post is I have let my Offshore survival ticket lapse, too old to go offshore now[/COLOR]

Brothers are police officers.
Both weapons trained but now one is computer based and the other got fed up guarding and went to a police force as a bobby.
Shit job but he loves dealing with the scumbags (80%) of his job.
Personally I think it is his alpha male aggression attitude that gets him by.
So in essence, if you are an adrenalin junkie that don't mind shit working hours and conditions with the rest of the stuff for a good pension then maybe it's for you.
Me personally I would not fancy it.

Yesterday I just picked up my new 12 plate VW CC 2.0TDI 170bhp BlueMotion.

Lovely top of the range car although this morning I noticed both headlights have condensation inside them.

Already rung the dealer asking for new replacements.:(
