Question: have you ever considered changing jobs

Hi
I don’t change jobs very often – I’ve worked in 3 places in my life (apart from holiday jobs as a student, and even some of those were at places I went to work as an adult.). All the jobs have been kinda of similar – some more based on research where I could go off and think about things without having too much pressure to get something finished, and some with very tight deadlines. I actually enjoyed the tight deadlines more because it meant i was making something that people were actually going to use.

I guess perhaps you mean changing to a completely different job – like a fireman or whatever rather than and engineer. I have I suppose considered being a photographer, but I think that might rapidly become boring even if it seems exciting now – and because everyone now has access to quite good cameras I on their phones etc. I think the competition to make money as a photographer would be tough. I never managed to work out how I could have as much fun or make as much money doing anything else – even if some days it seemed attractive.
