I didn't follow to start with, I was an apprentice mechanic but got bored of that and went doing delivery driving for my dad, then he binned that off and we've set up a vending business between my mum, dad, brother and me so not so much following, just all taking the same change of direction

My dad spent his working life as a builder/jack of all trades. My mum has done various office based roles. I think I was intentionally kept away from the "building game" probably because my dad's back is fucked and he has no pension.
