again, london

when i land at heathrow, i know what i have to do.
i am totally broke. i need money. i need a better paid job.
i know a guy in the city with connections. i make a phone call. within a week of arriving i have interviews. then second rounds. IQ testing, which is helpful cause i know how to pass tests. 2.5 weeks after landing i have an offer. high pay. high stress. and i accept because i have no choice. bills are mounting and they need to get paid.
so the party is over. i have a phd but there are no academic jobs out there.
back to the City i go, it is time to make money.
