          Personally I think its always good to have money coming in. Some prefer to wait it out. August will deffo be a quiet month. Sep/Oct are usually good months.

                Yes. I despair of the modern application process. Its like they want people who can memorize stuff. Not thinkers. All well and good - until stuff goes wrong.....

                  tough call. niche markets are great. you earn lots. Then the next big thing can become old hat. Or just no roles coming up.

                  Retraining a possibility?
