I must admit I have no claims to be an author. In my time, mostly as a student, I have worked construction on a concrete gang, sometimes 30 odd storeys in the air, as a truck driver, a motor bike courier, a house/furniture removal labourer, a warehouseman and a short time on a production line. However I am relieved that when I eventually chose a profession I decided my talents lay in a direction which doesn't seem to carry such risks of early demise.  |
What profession would that be I wonder? Does it come with a long life guarentee?
