[QUOTE="binky, post: 528643, member: 490"] I started life with British Aerospace making missile guidance systems, then along came Glasnost, and that went out the window. I joined Toshiba air conditioning, then the Japanese economy collapsed and they sold off the factory in the UK. Got a job with Nortel networks, then the dot.com bubble burst . Then the factories got outsourced to China, and totally fed up with engineering, I retrained as an electrician , because there will always be a need for sparkies whilst there's houses in the UK. 17 years later it's the most stable employment I've ever had, and will take me to retirement in a few years. There's an art to being flexible in the world of work, it's hard to learn but does bring dividends in the end. [/QUOTE]
