Not enjoying my job at the moment so looking for inspiration for a possible change.

What is the best job you ever had (or have been told about)?

I work in marketing now and really like the creative aspect.

My current job. I’m an in-house patent attorney. I get to hear about all the cool stuff R&D are inventing. There is always something new to learn about.

I took a year off after Uni as if I’d had enough of books. Got a job working for a large chain store as a fit model at their HQ.
Bear with me. You had to be a size 10 and a certain height and that was it.
Bearing in mind this was 35 years ago, we used to get £50 a day cash. I worked every week, usually for 5 days and there were 3/4 of us.
I had an absolute ball. Some of the clothes were absolutely hideous (think the Gloria Hunniford Collection) and the buyers were like something out of the dark ages. But I had a bit of a flair for it, and soon buyers started booking me to help with layouts and ideas in designs.
I then got offered a job the pay wasn’t much but it was a trainee buyer. Proudly told my very snobby mother who told me there was no way I was working for that salary with my very proper degree.
Never took the job, and I should have.
I do remember my nan was very well dressed that year. And all of her friends. I used to volunteer to clean out store rooms when I was bored and they’d tell me to take it or bin it.
I felt rich every Friday when I got paid (£250 a week was a fortune in 1990). I was self employed under Thatcher’s Enterprise Allowance Scheme (an extra £40 a week) and hardly paid tax either.
Happy, happy days.
