If you love routine, can handle stress, and don’t mind working when the rest of the world is sleeping, it’s a solid career. The pay is top-tier for a non-degree job, and the benefits are hard to beat.
But if you crave variety, sunlight, or human interaction, maybe stick to your desk job. At the end of the day, money isn’t everything—even if £60,000 makes it feel like it is.
So next time you hop on a Tube, give the driver a little nod. They’re rolling through the dark, earning a salary that’s probably better than yours—and dealing with a lot more pressure than you’d think. Pretty cool, right?
