Growing up - what did you want to be when you was older? Did you achieve it? Or if not, why?

I wanted to be a chef, but once i seen how a professional kitchen worked, wasnt for me

I ended up becoming a welder by accident and have spent the last ten years trying to get away from it! Can get a nice suntan though.

Didsbury

Hairdresser, I trained became fully qualified and then realised it wasn't for me. Had various jobs since as never knew what I wanted most I have enjoyed. For the past 3 years I have been an EA at a company I have worked at for over 13 years. I do enjoy the job and my boss is great but it does come with a lot of stresses sometimes.

Also trained as a burlesque and chair dance fitness instructor a couple of years ago but my knee operations stopped me taking the practical assessment

I actually never had a clue what I wanted to be. Knew I wanted to be rich and figured I was gonna win the lotto one day. Ended up leaving school at 16 to be a postman, stayed there for 17 years then left to work offshore. Been doing that for the last 6 years and I'm now looking into starting up my own wee business.
