So I was medically discharged from the British army a few years ago due to injuries sustained and because of that have been doing monotonous office work for various companies but as I have a good work ethic instilled from the forces I have done well and been promoted or went to better jobs quite quickly and started earning great money (compared to the pay of an infantryman) but the work was boring and not for me so while looking for another dead end job I saw an ad that caught my eye it was just a PA job for a small outdoor activities centre the pay was about 1/3 of what I was on but I googled the company out of curiosity and it looked like a fun place to visit with all kinds to do like a high rope obstacle course, axe and knife throwing and loads more so I spent the next weekend working out if I could afford the pay cut then applied.
Fast forward a year and the boss is great and sorts me out overtime just cleaning or maintenance jobs if I'm short 1 month. I have had a few earned a few payrises as well but best of all if its slow in the office I get to play with throwing axes!!
Tldr: money is not everything I actually look forward to going to work these days!
