Analyst for the australian prudential regulation authority- supervising insurers, ADI's, super funds. Probably 50 hours a week on average, 55-60 if big job on. Pay's ok but its never enough is it? lol

Bit of travel, not bad but I hate sitting alone in hotel rooms on the other side of the country from everyone I know.

Psychiatric nurse on the adult ward at Peninsula Hospital. Work permanent nightshift, 3 or 4 nights a week, 9pm to 7.30am. Handing out medications most of the time, reading the forums the other! Pays not too bad, especially weekends, and plenty of time away from work.

Hmm I do go past so it is possible I have been through there, I work in Pakenham Upper and live in The Patch. You've probably seen the boss' dodgy silver RX7 s1 then too : :

Smashed up my previous car real good near there too : always good to see guys put up 'oil on road' signs after...
