why is that surpirsing? lol - i'm not really a boxer :wink:

not a practice one, i work in industry but pretty low down! I wanna get out of it tho, i cannot STAND being in an office all day or for that matter looking at a PC constantly.

the guys across the office (who earn the big bucks) look even more bored than me and they get loads of stress for their troubles, lol

Why not try some clientel orientated positions in Accountancy? Where you travel to meet clients etc, thats as good as it gets :p:

Seeing clients just means you have to work twice as hard without a minutes rest, and answer questions that you haven't got a hope in hell of answering correctly.
