What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?
When I was a child and teenager, I aspired to be a world class athlete. That didn’t happen! 🤷♀️
I’ve had numerous jobs, my first job (8 yrs old) was assisting the local milk man delivering milk to peoples homes. The days when milk was in glass bottles and placed on your doorstep each morning. Getting up at 3am every morning wasn’t the best, but there was something quite liberating, being up, out and about, when most people were still asleep in their beds. I did that job for three years.
My next job, I was now 11yrs old, I worked in a turkey farm ‘plucking’ turkeys. Eeek…a very messy & smelly role!
I’ve worked in a shoe shop…smelly feet!
Airport catering (inflight meals)…yuk food!
Bar person…didn’t like being on that side of the bar 😠.
Office work…boring!
Supermarket ‘online shopper’…they paid me to get & keep fit 🤗. But my brain cells died!
College lecturer in Art & Design…I love teaching, interacting, facilitating, encouraging, supporting, communicating, debating, laughing, and more importantly, learning from the students/learners themselves. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Ok, I didn’t become a world class athlete…but we can’t have it all, can we? 🤷♀️😁

We can’t have it all. But I’m glad that you love your current job. In this world, if you don’t wake up with Monday blues over the fact that you have to go to work, that in itself is a huge achievement 💜

My friend, world-class athlete or not, you’ve definitely run the marathon of odd jobs! From milk delivery at dawn to turkey-plucking and smelly feet—now that’s a real endurance test.
But landing in teaching? You’ve finally crossed the finish line with a job that’s a perfect fit. No sneakers required!

To be honest . I was a milkman my self . I have also worked in farms . I think these jobs are better than office works . There is a sort of peace when you are away from world and between the animals. I find it peacefull . I will go back to farms again after getting alot of money here . That’s the end plan . 😘

Haha 🤣 I read my original comment back and I’m like “I hope she knows I don’t mean her posts aren’t interesting,” 🤦♀️ 😜 I mean that I find the different types of jobs people have held tell a lot about a person and then you confirmed that for me! 😆 I think it definitely tells a lot about our character and what kind of person we are too in ways 😊
That’s awesome!! 👏 go you!! Running is so hard for me.
As far as jobs? Man, I have a whole list 🤣 😆 I guess, if I had a choice on what I’d like to do it’d be photography or being a forest ranger (but neither really pays!) lol 😂 😂
