I am also 'special'. And the kids I teach are, too Just wondering if this is a particular area that attracts climbers, just 'cos I know loads of teachers who climb, and a lot of them are in Special Needs too.
After about 20 years in IT, I'm currently a postie and wondering what the hell to do with the rest of my life that doesn't involve sitting at a desk in a soulless office 9 to 5.
I'm teaching rope access. Now I feel like I'm living some kind of ultimate cliche...

Gives you plenty of time to think, and score amazing powder inbetween.
So Bubba, I'd say that your current role as a postie is similar and I'm sure that you'll either decide that being a postie is what you want to do longer term or you'll decide upon a satisfying career elsewhere. Either way, time "treading water" as a postie is probably a great opportunity to collect your thoughts. Good luck.

I keep thinking about getting out of IT but unfortunately I cant think of anything else I could do which would pay the mortgage. Postie sounds great - if only...
Being a postie sounds almost idylic- Good excercise, free time in the afternoons, there must be more to it than the perception of a civilian?
Are there any product designers on here? Is it something you have to spend years getting into/ie is there any point when you're middle-aged?
I suppose I should be smug as I have essentially got my perfect job (making guidebooks). I do like the freedom and satisfaction of being self employed, but I can't deny that I'm not gripped about the financial exposure.
