I work for a Solicitors in the ULR Department and its a bonus getting a word of understandable English out of you guys let alone an on time response or a cheque;)
Nah, work in the Executive Pensions department, loads of manual work involved when calculating quotes and checking the accounts etc..

They did offshore 80% of our work to India but they cocked it all up and it had to be moved back :) So my job's safe atleast!

Thats life though mate, not many people can make loads of cash doing something they love. Use your job as a tool to get you the things you want in life.

Write yourself a goal and stick it on the wall.

In my opinion the biggest thing you need in paintball is a supportive partner/family or a missus who is glad to get rid of you at weekends. If you can find a woman who plays hang on tight.
Oh yeah, totally agree with that, I dont have anything to complain about really. As you say, not many people can make a living doing what they love.

My goal for now is to get good enough to play for a team in a tournament by sometime next year.. Don't care what level, just want to play!

Oh, and my missus does play paintball :) And I definitely am planning on hanging onto her

I know - claimants are having a field day with you because of it - we bearly need to prove unreasonable conduct - as it looks the judge in the face - anyhow back on topic;)

We're lucky in our department as they didn't offshore any of the complex work or settlements so that's all fine, it was more the behind the scenes stuff that they tried to get done offshore.

As you said though.. should really get back on topic!

get yourself into journalism and become a wirter and become Matyy Marshal.

or become one with the cam and become a photgrapher or even make dvd's on the sport,

would b easyer then having to get a job as you would have to b at the tournaments instead of going there if you had the time:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

actully dont cos one of those is what i am going to do

I always thought i wanted a job in paintball after id finished college and uni but I hadnt thought about id stopping me playing so you all got a good point there.

I was thinking about doing psycology at uni and you can specialise in sports psychology, anyone think there maybe a place for sports psychologists in paintball one day?


And dont lie ben i didnt ask... u offered and i was asleep so couldnt say no ;) :D

He said PSYCHOLOGY - sorting out brains rather than bodies:p :D

I assume you thought he was talking about physiotherapy - as someone who is fully qualified in sports & sport injury massage I can tell you that most ballers seem to think it's a great idea until you tell them they are expected to pay for a service like this, then they change their minds:rolleyes:
