alih Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Nurses, teachers, flight attendants and more - you must all have the patience of saints. I am a criminal barrister based in the north-west, having retrained in my mid 30s when I was getting divorced. It's right up my street: stressful but varied, entertaining, demanding and lets me into worlds I would never otherwise see. I love it. Before that I was a lecturer in film and creative writing in Paris! Quite a difference really. I loved that too for 7 years....am really lucky to have had jobs I have loved and am trying to emphasise that to my teenage kids as they make their choices.
