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? 🤷♀️😁
