I've lost count Nicks, but I'm 33 and I'd say over 30 which is pretty bad really. I've walked out of about a quarter of them and the longest I've ever stayed in a job was 5 years. Hate working for other people and hence why I've ended up here!

I'm the same I find it really hard to work for other people

So when my new site is up and running I am giving myself a target of 1 year to be able to earn enough money to not have to work for someone else.

And you can hold me to that

Waitressed in a pub while I was at college.

Left college and worked in Rickmansworth for five months as a house keeper type thing for a nice couple.

Came back up North and worked for a temping agency for three months or so.

Got the job at the Inland Revenue which lasted 18 years

Jacked the whole lot in (just before I lost my will to live completely) to run my own business which is still only a baby at 21 months old but I love being my own boss ... you can't beat it ... I'd hate to go back to being someone's employee.

The longest I've lasted in any job is 3yrs. Taking away the 11yrs I spent at home as a full-time Mum, I've averaged a new job every year which amounts to around 12 different jobs...
