That's as may be Maggie. But the view I am expressing here has been consistent throughout my adult life. I have not always been in the field I am in. I was just as vehement about this viewpoint when I was selling satellite systems and when I was part of a small design house. I have espousing these same views here on the Cellar for over two years, long before I even thought about standing for office. I have only been an elected member of the council for three months.

The fact that I am now a part of the system is not the cause of my desire to uphold said system. I support/seek to uphold the system because I believe it is right to do so. It has nothing whatsoever to do with a desire for a 'slice of the proceeds'. By choosing to pursue this career instead of nipping down and applying at the local college for another teaching post (where they are crying out for experienced Skills for Life trained teaching staff), I have taken a paycut of approximately 50% whilst significantly increasing the hours I work.

I do what I do because I love it and I believe I can genuinely help people. Not everyone is guided by financial vested interests.
