OK, I don't drive. I hate to drive, it's stressful and miserable and I'm rubbish at it, not even mentioning the carbon impact and immense cost (UK petrol prices post coming soon). I made a pact with myself when I was 16 that I would never learn to drive. fourteen years and almost £1,000 of driving lessons later, I still don't have a full licence. Is this success in the face of self-imposed adversity? (Did I tell you I was perverse?) Whatever it is, it's seriously limited my choice of job applications as many state "full / clean licence essential". This is especially true of environmental jobs where much of the day involves visiting various sites.
All I want to do is get a decent job that I can live on and that in some way decreases our impact in the environment, but I'm peeved that doing this seems to equate to being shackled to one of these ugly, dirty, four-wheeled death machines of doom. but further self-denial means I'll never get get ahead - any other applicants who can drive will already have a significant advantage over me. Gah! So that's my dichotomy: learn to drive and get a good job, or stick to my principles and flounder in dross. Humph.
