If I'd known how secure, well-paid and relatively straightforward it is being a driver, I'd have gone for that rather than engineering within Southern. Having said that, I really enjoy my work and the people I work with. And on this Class 313 project I'm earning more-or-less what a driver makes anyway... The only downside is having to do more hours to make that wage, but if we manage a 35 hour week at the next pay & conditions review I'll be laughing... -- SeanH - '01 Fazer 600 in black | '97 GSX-R 750 SRAD.
