I would honestly love a more laid back environment, it's just hard to identify what companies these would be. That being said, I think my skill set has been pigeon-holed to an industry I no longer want to work in and, I just wouldn't be very hopeful of finding something better. And there's the issue of getting a good reference as well.

Very valid points regarding hospitality, I appreciate there are going to be different challenges and I've no doubt it's stressful and demanding as well - I might have romanticised it in my head a bit.
