What sort of job do you do? I always find the sudden reduction of my
salary by 100% quite an obstacle to leaving a job I migth be fed up
with.


I do a job which I was suited for after going to uni and spending 3
years of my life running up £15,000 or debt. It pays a lot less then
an underground driver, but OTOH I didn't start when I was 18 and end
up fully trained on £30k by the time I was 20. Instead I took the
long expensive road in the hope of brighter carrer prospects in the
future. I also put a lot of free time into keeping my skills sharp so
I have workforce mobility.


Which doesn't tell us what you do. You're not a lawyer or an accountant are
you?

Which is a wide ranging term and has been used to cover anyone from a bench
fitter to the chap who designed the Channel Tunnel.

Can we carry on this pointless conversation on alt.politics.communism
then the rest of us can carry on talking about public transport in London.

Oh the work to rule is having very little effect on the district line
which shows that the drivers are correct, they could all book on at
Acton with no effects to the service.
