Mental Health support worker. I really enjoy it although I struggle a bit with looking after myself, some days are exhausting and brutal. No plans on leaving the job though.

I work four days a week as a Clinical Case Manager and do two evenings teaching counselling students. I also work 'as and when' on an advisor helpline.
My four day a week job is incredibly boring and not well-paid but it is easy and I do it from home.I would need a huge pay rise to get me into an office and same for a job that took me further away from being able to get a lot of other things done during the day.

I was a classic millenial. Did an MA having been promised a job at the university, which fell through and I went into just 'normal' jobs ever since. Not great, but you have to just muddle through with what you've got.

I'm the business administrator in DH's business. I hate it and am trying to extract myself which is proving tougher than I thought it would.

Sure, I study alcohol and substance misuse and mental health. It’s very interesting. I’m just trying to work out whether to work in a hospital setting once qualified or maybe more a school setting giving drug safety talks etc.

Sounds geared up for a role in prisons or probation. Lots of options in those worlds.

Work in Finance for a theatre.. Really enjoy it.

Only annoyance is to constantly hear customers' grumbles about ticket prices . But we don't set them.. You have to complain to Ricky Gervais if you don't like the prices, we have zero influence on it.
