In my earlier working life I was a journalist, worked in media relations and worked for a City financial company. The money was great, but I spent too much time worrying about the decisions I had had to make, and the morality of my decisions.

There came a point when I lost my job through redundancy. I was offered an almost identical role at a rival finance company, but at a significantly higher (six figure, plus lots of perks) salary. I turned it down to train as a teacher.

Six years in, and I sleep well at night. I do my best for my students and I have yet to make any decisions that have made me lose sleep.

Could I go back to a job that bruised my conscience? No way in hell!

No, and I would appreciate the fact that I was warned beforehand and given a choice to opt out before I had signed up.

Yeah, it's nice to be able to go about your life without carrying that burden around on your shoulders about doing a job that is morally reprehensible to you. I don't miss that at all! When I quit it was like the weight of the world lifting off my shoulders.
