Like Nox, I work as a projects director in international development and enjoy it immensely. I don�t do so much travelling or working overseas these days I leave that to member�s of my team or their juniors. My portfolio has lots and lots of projects - mainly but not limited to - construction. Some of it is for agencies in the developing world in countries with low HDIs, schools hospital and water/energy facilities etc, and some of it is for very wealthy individuals who fancy a new pad or folly in an exclusive location. My job occasionally involves meeting people at extremes from people who are internationally recognisable (humanitarians, politicians, celebrities etc) to people who have little or no basic facilities or contact with the outside world.
Although I love what I do, I wouldn�t mind being a professional guitar player in a famous rock band but alas my guitar skills are as adept as Jade Goody�s diplomacy.
