I was going to sign myself up to do some shifts while in Brisbane, but realised that I'd be stretching myself WAY too thin.

Yet for some reason, it still receives consideration. <BR/><BR/>It could be the cold hard cash. But it might also be the cultural pressure to 'progress' towards higher pay-packets and grander-sounding job titles. This may be handy for gloating at school reunions, but that's about it.<BR/><BR/>As kids we were told there are more important things than money - and to ignore peer pressure. I think there's still merit in that.<BR/><BR/>So kudos to you Renae. It's a good choice - and it sounds like you're already reaping the rewards.davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223229241414391785noreply@blogger.com
