I thought about being a vet, but I didn't want to have to put the animals down. I thought about psychiatry, but I didn't want to do a job that would be difficult to just switch off from and would likely stick with me outside of my paid hours. I was a big overthinker from a very young age 😅

So I decided I didn't really care, as long as I felt productive and made enough to enjoy my life 💜

I wanted to be a church bell ringer. Can't remember if it was an ad or a comedy sketch but they had people pulling the bell rope and flying up into the church steeple, I thought that was how they really rang church bells and it looked like the best job in the world to me.

I always wanted to be computer programmer. And, after school, I was at technical college while working for Philips when my dream job working for Apple UK came along. It would have been ideal if my boss wasn't a dick so I left there and became a postman!

Only advert I can think of like that was the 2008 Mars bat bar one. Wjere they do it to house of pain, jump around.

I wanted to be a motorsport mechanic or a dj. I can't dj but ended up as a mechanic just not for motorsport
