I was a #RussellGroup #fixedterm #Researcher and I loved it. It made best use of my #skills but there's no guarantee of the next #contract. Even if likely you'll get another you can'tbe sure. Approaching 60 I realised that the risk was high as a different #job would be hard to get. #Ageism is rife in #employment. So, I took a permanent lower #pay role for #financial #security. I miss #research every day.
