When you left school

[maxitrol]

 did you follow the  your dream and do the job you always wanted to do or do you wish now you did some thing else!
My choices were to either go in the tranport division in the armed forces  or work with cars.When i had the accident with my eye (had a dart in in when i was 11 years old which hads left me blind in the right eye) it mend i couldn't join the army so choose to work with cars which i love doing just a shame the wages are crap [brick]

I done what i wanted to do, went to college for it, trained for it, moved abroad for it. I then discovered it was totally rubbish so i now do something completely different!

Dont know until you try i suppose.

Did you not consider becoming a pirate?

I left school wanting to join the police, wasn't confident enough (and was a bit of a fatty)
Instead did a hairdressing apprenticeship for 3 years, reallised  I was a crap hairdresser, then worked for customs.
Then became a PCSO, hated it, so joined the regulars instead, done it for 4 years now, love it.
Can't imagine doing anything else.

wanted to just get my head down and work, couldn't get a job, did agency when i turned 18 in a factory, absolutely hated it, then my grandad passed away due to cancer so thought i'd do something to make him feel proud, now attending college about to do my 2nd year in electrical installation (would like to do the domestic side), and also got a job at a takeaway and working there for 7 months but now start new job next week in a warehouse temporarily until i find an apprenticeship

Studied to be a banker. After my degree, became a banker. Did it for 3 years and hated it. Resigned. Took a year out to do teacher training and became a teacher. That was 12 years ago 

All through school I wanted to work with cars.

Came to school work experience. I chose two car garages then to make up the choices to four I then went for stacking shelves and last choice was an alarm company as didnt have a clue what it was they did.

Needless to say I got my last choice but enjoyed it and still doing it fifteen years later.

Left school in 1991, became a chef as it was my dream job. Travelled the world, had a blast.
Gave it all up few years ago, studied engineering and now I teach!

[The Doc]

This is going to gain me some stick.

In sixth form I'd secured a place at Theological College so as I could start taking my first steps towards training to become a vicar and took a year out.....
