    I am long term unemployed. It is too embarassing to say how long. Was once a communications technician. My life turned to shit, so I decided to have a break for a while. Wasn’t able to get back into that field again and to be honest, I’d had enough after 20 years. I then worked as a sales assistant at a 4wd accessories store, which ended going belly up.

    I am now at the stage where I really don’t know what I want to do.(mid life crisis??) Preferably something associated with fishing or boating or 4wd’s or dirtbikes.

    Nothing wrong with that, I am 43 and still can’t work out what I want to do with my life as far as work goes. After about 6 years, any job gets past it’s use by date with me.

    I work in a Power Station as an assistant power plant operator. basically a power plant operator is Homer Simpson and I would doing what Homer tells me to do out on the plant. It’s a good job working on one of the biggest machines in the country. Gives me lots of time to ride.
