Sean, Cheers, despite my constant moaning it is a _great_ job, and to be honest it's not waht you'd call "hard work" (beats yomping over hills anyway). There a quite a few ex-army types here, and if you do get into Hertfordshire I suspect you'll be welcomed, as most of the degree entry people are _very_ young, and to be honest "life-experience" is the most important thing in this job. Good luck with your interviews, my fingers are crossed for you. Let me know how you do.
