My working life is a bit complicated and precarious, but I decided to give up my only regular and guaranteed job, despite the uncertainty of other income streams. I feel quite liberated and excited by the decision. The work was nightshifts, and although only five a month I was getting to dread them, despite work being fairly easy.

Having been made redundant after years of unhappiness in a previous career and lifetime and having had a job literally cease to exist overnight I am quite relaxed about my decision. I have been far happier since out of full time employment and know I have options should my chosen work not materialise or be enough.
