what jobs and/or qualifications have you had/got? what do you do now? how old are you? are you happy where you are now?
21 years of age
12-16 paper round
16-18 worked at a corporate team building place (go karts/quads/4x4/asault courses etc was the best job ever)
17-18 worked behind a bar in a hotel
17-18 worked at a farm shop
18-20 did an apprenticeship in boat building
got made redundant so now i am setting up my own business fitting out boats, works pretty slow though so i'm looking at getting a few hours working at sainsburys for some regular income.
a levels in geography, business and design tech. and now got my qualification from my apprenticeship.
happy-ish at the moment. sometimes wonder if i've done the right thing.
