She has to come in at 6 in the morning somedays cos the markets are 24/7 or something like that. How is this humanly possible?
Nomad, you've only been in the civilised world for a few years and you have a decent job, give yourself a pat on the back!

I wouldn't go into it unless I was very motivated and determined to make it otherwise I'm sure anyone would end up jumping out the window. When you say meaningful, does that mean teaching, the third sector...
