Case load getting you down? Taking too much work home? Why not leave all the stress behind and opt for a simpler career - as an astronaut?
New Scientist has a handy guide to getting your foot on the galactic career ladder. I mean, how hard can it be?
Advantages: adulation in the media, probably less paperwork, you get to go into space.
Disadvantages: you'll lose your local authority pension, that whole weightlessness thing might get a bit annoying after a while and what about all those nice biscuits you eat at the morning meeting? I bet you're not allowed those in NASA.
