Anyone watch Tribal Wives last night?

Andy a lady with 'a high powered job in london' (that's how they described her) went to live as the cheifs doughter for 4 weeks and tried to fit into the tribe.

After she'd been there a while she said she felt like she was living and that maybe her career isn't all that important after all.

So my question to you is how important is yours?

We don't get "Tribal Wives" in the United States -- but it may be on cable and I'm unaware of it -- so I looked it up on the Internet and saw the premise: six British women give up their everyday lives and join the remotest tribes in the world and immerse themselves in tribal life and culture.

On the show, are any of the women resentful at the deprivations they must endure while staying with the tribe?

It's my identity! After a lifelong fascination with words and books, I trained in college to be a journalist. Now, I influence many thousands of people daily, have decent hours and earn a decent wage, work with interesting and intelligent people who do interesting work that actually makes a difference. I can't imagine doing anything else. About the only career change I could imagine, or daydream about would be to become a political cartoonist or to enter into the world of politics.

That sounds like a great career. I'd be pretty chuffed too if I had that.

Naw, unfortunately I don't get paid for my time here in the RHP forums. I just do this for amusement.

Well that's what I'm wondering.
I have been to collage, I have a HND in textiles but it's not easy to get a job in that. I've been a fulltime mum for 9 years now. I have a chioce, I can put my efforts into getting the best career I possiably can or I can just get a regular job that pays the bills.

Being a mum is important work -- in fact, it could be the most important work you will ever do.

Regarding your choice of finding the best career or a job that pays the bills is a tough one -- the only advise I can offer is that if you really love working with textiles, then you will find a way to do it. The remuneration may be small at the beginning of your career, but the important thing is that you are honing your skills for a better job in your field later on; also, you're meeting people in your industry who will be in a position to assist you, offer advise or get you freelance jobs.

I prefer to be able to buy a tribe antibiotics out of my pocket than to live with them.
