What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?
From an early age I always wanted to be a chef. Don’t know why, I wasn’t influenced by anyone in particular and my mum, bless her wasn’t a gifted cook but she always kept us well fed. Maybe that was why then!
Anyway that never occurred, as when you get older your choices increase and your preferences change. I was always good with my hands and as an exceptional student in Art, Technical drawing and metalwork I was being edged towards a career in engineering. I took all my entrance exams and interviews to work at Rolls Royce aero engines at Leavesden, however my school were two days late in submitting my course work so that option became a non starter.
I ventured into photographic production, maintenance and lab work and remained there for about ten years ending up as a freelancer.
Then I ventured onto the railway where thirty two years later I’m still employed.
So it’s Been a greatly varied career, however the next move I make is intended to be my best career move yet….
Retirement !
Have a good day
