I would love to have a job where I'm outside instead of sitting at a desk all day.
Was thinking about becoming a driving instructor, just don't have the money to go through with it at the moment.

I hope to make my fortune at my desk and then somehow escape reality/work at an early age.
I hope.

Steve it's hard to make the change... especially if you consider that you may have to work through the winter out in the cold and pissing down rain.
I work with my mate helping him out installing CCTV and Alarms, it great as a little break from my desk job but could not do it full time for a number of years.
As Willay says, i'm working to retire as early as possible

Its just a lovely idea i have
was looking online and there is a very posh landscaper thats local to me. and jobs doing this earn around £22k + a year.
im not too bothered what weather i work in have worked all year this year on my garden at home. in the rain, sun whatever
now we have a MASSIVE garden at home and im looking forward to garden parties next summer.

My mate and his dad do Landscape gardening and they bring in just over 80k a year.
If you are good enough i'd go for it mate the money is there and who knows get a few people working for you, you can sit back and earn cash whilst down the pub

There's more to gardening than just cutting trees down and burning stuff
