    What do you do for work ? Is it hit or shit.

    There are so many different pathways in. I studied mech eng and applied physics, became intrigued about fire safety when undertaking a marine and offshore HVAC internship and was lucky enough to get a trainee fire safety role whilst still at uni. My colleagues come from a range of engineering...

    What do you do for work ? Is it hit or shit.

I'm working on a couple...

    Career Prize Money Totals

    MTB Coaching

    It depends what you want out of the coaching, fitness or skills. If you're serious about it and more concerned with the fitness side of things it would be hard to go past Mark Fenner, although I personally don't know anyone that uses him. http://www.ftptraining.com/

    publishing a book

    Have a look at the companies that do thesis binding. There are heaps of them around, so I'm sure that you would be able to find someone that fits the price and quality you're looking for.
