Reading: A bank manager has given up his £30,000 a year job with Natwest to realize
his childhood ambition of becoming a bus driver.
Despite the £ 11,000 salary and anti-social hours, John Burgin, 48, has
never been happier.
“banking was a career but in the end it became just a job! He said.
“ Once I knew I was leaving, I used to go outside at lunchtime and watch
as the buses drove up and down. The time had come”.
His passion was awakened as a boy growing up in Sheffield, where he
collected bus maps and timetables. But Mr. Burgin, from Nailsea, near
Bristol, went on to spend nearly 30 years working his way up through
NatWest.
“The levels of stress are totally different”, he said.
“at the bank, things were very political. I worked hard all day long and
then took home work, and it never really finished. There is stress in
driving a bus around Bristol, but it’s a different kind of stress and I don’t
take it home”
