JAStewart Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I can't really remember too well, but I think when I was semi-young I wanted to be (and still do) a diplomat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I can't really remember too well, but I think when I was semi-young I wanted to be (and still do) a diplomat Sorry old chap, you come over as a bit too honest when you speak about things to be a diplomat. Anyway, did you go to the right school?.....Eaton, Harrow and a few others. And the right uni?......Oxford as there are too many spies from Cambridge. I really did want to be a train driver.......but not on a steam locomotive. Wanted to drive an electric train. Did get as far as an interview with British Railways......for a job as a porter or something but while they messed about I found a job with more pay.

Ghostrider Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I never had the first clue what I wanted to be, and still don't.... So, I live in hope that these immortal words have a grain of truth in them somewhere.... "Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't."

david Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I wanted to be captain of the St Clair. Maths/angles/anything remotely complexing isn't my strong point, so it was never going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouth Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I went to a posh school where children "succeeded". I decided that I fancied being a barrister. Then realised that I was too thick so thought about being a solicitor. Then realised that I was too thick and as I liked doughnuts so much wanted to join the police. The local force wouldn't touch me but I was told that the Met(ropolitan Police) would be interested, "after all they will take anyone", the chubby officer told me. Instead I got offered a job in a slaughter house "just moving the offal from bin to bin" said the Youth Careers Officer. I joined the Army and except for the odd severed foot, my boss wandering down the road with a petrol bomb in his hand after the other dozen had blown up an UlsterBus depot, and a flying Ford Cortina almost removing my head in separate bombing incidents, I had a quiet time of it. I now have the crappest admin job ever and I loathe it with every atom of my soul. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to tell them where to shove it (but they are a nice bunch to work with). Sadly I need the money so I have to suffer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
