Geo,

It will never get any easier. It will be just as tough to make the jump in
ten years as it will be in ten days. Dump the NHS, suffer for a while as
you get yourself well known for doing quality work, and then you never have
to look back. There is always room for high quality work, but doing low-end
fast work can be found anywhere.
