I wanted to be an OT. Rehabilitate people with war injuries through the use of equines.

But I also wanted to do something with money.

I'm an accountant so at least one worked out.

I’ve wanted to be a couple of things. The first was a professional snooker player. The second was a cartoonist drawing my own character (like Garfield). The third and fourth things… I’m still working on.

Vet. I had the uni offer but unfortunately not feasible because I had my son as a newborn baby when I started A levels and it wouldn't have been possible to do all the work placements with a small child, hundreds of miles from any help (not that I had much of that). I did something different instead

All I ever did at school was yearn for the holidays. Mostly idling on the beach or in boats. In winter and bad weather I played around with radios and read a lot. going sick, in moderation, also passed some time.

This had such a profound effect on me that I realised the only way I would still get those holidays was by becoming a teacher. In fact, when a careers officer interviewed me I thought 'Do I really have to work?'.

Luckily I ended up with all the holiday benefits (even longer when I worked in a college, until some bright spark invented holiday time courses) without any of the usual teaching aggro the poor sods get nowadays and ended up with a generous early retirement package 25 years ago.

Since then I have hated the holidays, too many kids around.
