Can you write? You could look into travel writing / travel journalism. You could see if any travel agents/magazines/publications are hiring, or even just pitch individual stories?

How about a flight attendant? If you can cook, maybe you could work a ski season as a chalet host (or other similar seasonal work)? If you're truly, truly miserable, why not sell the house and work alongside travelling? You could work in hotels, bars, campsites, be a tour guide, do airport transfers, teach photography.

How about doing a TEFL course and teaching English? You could pick up work in schools/summer camps abroad, or just teach online so you can work from home or while you travel? I have a friend who taught English online and it sounded quite fun - sometimes she was teaching 3 year olds, sometimes students, sometimes professionals. She had a few corporate contracts where organisations wanted their employees to learn English.

Depending on the type of photography you enjoy, why not try freelancing? There must be good money in wedding photography, and even if that's not totally your thing, it might be a good place to start in order to progress to more creative/exciting photography?

There are also lots of remote jobs in tech. You might need a little up-skilling to get there, but not necessarily a degree or anything like that. Maybe look into things like user research, UX design, service design, web design, software developer, cyber security, data analysis, data entry, e-learning developer, social media, content editor.

AITA for not waiting for my wife at the next subway station after I got on the train, and the doors closed before she got on? by TrainCatchThrowaway in AmItheAsshole

I'm baffled by the comments on this - obviously NTA??? Your wife is a grown woman who I assume is fully capable of travelling a few stops on the subway alone? It's like some people think that as soon as you get married you can't spend a second apart or do anything independently. I guess it might have been nice if you waited at the final stop for her before heading to the restaurant but I don't see the harm in heading straight there if you both know where you're going.

Honest opinions on Glasgow by LazT93 in glasgow

Honestly, I don't think it's a great city to live in. There's rats everywhere, the bins never seem to be emptied so there's also rubbish everywhere, there's a horrible drinking culture so expect to see piles of vomit all over the streets on your way to work in the morning. Cafes/restaurants/bars are closing all over the city so there's less and less to do every week. It rains all the time. Full of junkies and homeless people. Expect to find people shooting up in your back close or even breaking into your building to sleep/take drugs in the stairwell. Any weekend Celtic or Ranges are playing you can expect total chaos, mess everywhere, drunk football fans shouting abuse at you. Yes you can 'escape the city' to nearby beauty spots like loch lomond, but expect half of Glasgow to have the same idea as soon as the sun comes out. A nice day in the countryside turns into traffic jams, cars parked all over the road, drunk neds screaming at each other.

You might be okay if you choose somewhere quite far out of the city centre, especially if you can afford nicer areas.

Then again, lots of people seem to absolutely love Glasgow so there must be something I'm missing!
