Best advice I ever received was from my Dad
"Pick your rut carefully, as you'll be in it the rest of your life"

The reason this was the best advice possible was I duly appraised both his, and my Mum's career paths - 30 years of misery each as secondary school teachers - and so chose to do the exact opposite.

Best advice I'd give to my kids - if a job's shit, walk away. If it's doing your nut in, walk away. If your boss is a cunt, walk away. Life is far too short.

What is the exact opposite of being a secondary school teacher?
Being a pupil in secondary school? That makes you a bit of a weirdo...

I've done this on several occasions.
Quit two jobs because of two cunt bosses. Now working freelance, and have told several clients to get stuffed because of what they thought they could ask me to do. Business is doing just fine.
