Money isn't everything though. My work is boring enough (unless you like database management etc - but it definately wouldn't do you any favours on a friday night).

The good thing is that I was recently offered a new job, with a different company. The offer was the same job as I do now, but twice the money. Enough to sit up & make anyone pay attention. I talked to my current employer to ask what they could do (if anything). They gave me a substatial pay rise, and offered to pay 'travelling costs'.

Dont get me wrong, the money is still crap, but now I have a free SV to play on (they are paying finance, insurance - inc. breakdown, tax and fuel I just have to pay maintenance costs - servicing etc), and it's not all that far from the offer I was given after you work things out.

Edit: My brother is a Paramedic based in Leeds, and his wife is his partner (and Ambulance Technician), so repec' for the job you do & the grief that I know comes your way now & again for only trying to help.
