yeah, i ditched my desk jockey job and became a messenger.
in the face of my old employ changing my t&cs (to the tune of having to work every other w/e and had to be on call 2 week nights!!!) i recommended they put their job somewhere uncomfortable and quit, became a messenger on the streets of london and 7 winters later, im still loving it.
shit! i can support myself riding a bike!! i never thought that would be true.
it might not be the highest profile of professional cycling achievable, but my soul thanked me for it; ive never been happier or more fulfilled when it comes to work.
one thing i should mention: its not easy starting out, you probably wont make any serious money for the first few months.
that and the game is dying too, i doubt itll last too much longer.
