Of course stumbling into a job can work the other way - I stumbled into bookmaking and it's the best move I made I reckon.  I retired myself from working in racing on medical advice, didn't really know what to do (it was a toss-up between training as a paramedic or going down the bookmaking route) when I asked in a local bookies if they had any jobs going.  That was a Friday afternoon - had the interview Saturday, started Monday - all whilst I was still signed off on the sick!  I can't say I've ever been out of a job - I've either been offered jobs whilst still in employment or got a job within a day or two of looking (walked straight into jobs the twice I was looking for them).  Now I get paid to watch, and have an opinion about, the racing - who could want more?!
