I'm an ex-Ombudsman (communication and energy industries). Before that I tried to be a full time musician, but that didn't pay so well and the hours sucked. I play guitar for enjoyment now in a ska-punk band. I've had my own company custom-building guitar amplifiers, and that went well until the recession hit. I still have that going in the background as an interest and one-day retirement income. Other than that, I'm looking for a full time day job and a change of direction. That is what got me so interested in brewing - it would be great to work in a microbrewery, being creative in the brewing process.
