Default Re: Thinking of a career change: anydone been/is a courier?

Thanks for the advice guys. Knowing full well there is more to anything that meets the eye, I'm certainly looking at this one with an open mind to any pitfalls and advantages.

Can I suggest a trip to the docs and a subsequent visit to HR to discuss work related problems. You will probably find that they will do their level best to look after you.
I'm seeing my GP tomorrow to get a repeat prescription of Serepax to help with the anxiety attacks, and I will hopefully by monday have a letter from my psychologist outlining the medical condition and related depression that I will do with as you suggest and take to HR, because I have been raising this with my supervisor and line manager for the past few weeks and it just seems like they forget about it.

I should also make it clear that I'm not hell bent on being a courier, it's just one of a few options I'm considering at the moment.

Also, in terms of vehicles, would a 1 tonne Falcon ute on LPG be any good? I've seen a few drivers with them.
