Lawyer here.

1.5 hours each way is a horrific commute! You poor thing!

Senior lecturer at a university. I flipping love it!

It's high pressured but I have so much autonomy and flexibility which is great as we have a 4 year old.

Work for a homelessness team for a council.
Love it, but I work with hidden homeless not rough sleepers, which I think I would find relentless day in day out

I'm an on-site account specialist in manufacturing.

I thought my 40 minute drive into work was a slog! 1.5hrs? Poor you!

What are you thinking? Maybe looking for something new?

Dentist.
Currently work 20 hours over 2.5 days in practice . 30 minute commute.
Shortly changing to 2 days in practice with a third day Clinical teaching.
Hoping this could be an exit strategy out of practice. Wish me luck!
