What did you want to be when you was younger and what did you end up doing?

Wanted to be a sports journo, then a graphic designer end up working as an account exec for a printer :(

I wanted to be a bookie, I was obsessed with odds/lucky 15s'/3 card brag and gambling and most of my Family loved the bookies, :D

Ended up in Construction for the last 16 years :shock: (not bad though). :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Polo that's freaky as I wanted to be a sports journo then a graphic designer.

My spelling and writing ability meant I couldn't be journo :lol:

I did graphic design at gcse level and then design and tech at a level but stopped then, wanted a job.

I've had mainly office jobs, admin type stuff, now working at Cardiff airport which is a really good laugh but not a career so still searching for a job in a facilities or HR type role :|
