Even worse
"Member of the European Parliament"
All the pay and power of an MP, with none of the scrutiny.

Yes but how much would you get in bed for?

money isn't everything
I get paid well and yet it still doesn't make the work worthwhile.

Don't make the mistake that loads of people make and think that with enough money you won't mind what the actual work entails. You'd be much better off finding out what the job actually means day to day and making your decision based on that.

Well I for one
Quite enjoyed my work experience as a primary school teacher.
No nonce jokes plz.

I went back to my old primary school, it was the last one my Mum taught in before she died
It was very surreal seeing the same corridors 7 years later, they're tiny!

Plus, the teacher who was in charge of the work experience had taught me as a child, and she was still a complete bitch, a fact I made clear to her.

you being a nonce is nothing to joke about.
I cannot overstate how important it is to find something you enjoy.

on paper, my job should be great. It's something I'm interested in and good at, but day to day it's basically long periods of boredom interspersed with short bursts of stress and panic.
