I had decided even before, that once married, and if fortunate, I would become a mother and do my best to bring up my children to be good citizens. There were no instruction booklets, no degree, I had to learn as I went along. Whenever, I made mistakes, I had no tutor to turn to, however, I learn from my mistakes, and just carried on. Today, I am the proud mother of two successful sons, and I have just become a grandmother at 12 .30 this morning.
I've also decided to work as a voluntary worker, helping people worse off than myself to achieve their full potential.
I believe that I have had a very happy and fulfilling career. I have been fortunate in having a good husband to provide the bread on the table for myself and my family so I've never wanted for anything else. I believe that I made the correct decisions, and hope that I've made a difference.

I am now a cleaner in an office - I work 45 hours a week from 6am till 8am and then 9am till 4pm.
I made this choice after working in offices as an administrator for many years. I got totally fed up with the office politics and working with stupid people with narrow minded views of EVERYTHING! I was tired of working for idiots too. Nearly every boss I have had in an office environment seemed to not know how to do the job that they are there for!
I now have a great job that I enjoy very much, a wonderful boss and am very happy!

I'm a business consultant - advising businesses on development, finance etc. I 'fell' into this job in my early twenties when I had no real goal or career in mind. I was unemployed for a short time and was sent on a course by the then DHSS (Benefits Agency) the management had a position as an enterprise adviser for start up businesses vacant, I applied and got the job.
Never looked back since.

Customer Service Manager for a telecommunications company. I started out as a customer service rep, became the team leader, then my boss quit and I got her job by default. Not sure why I'm doing this job... I hate it, not what I want to be doing with my life at all... but it pays the bills.

I'm an accountant. No I certainly didn't aspire to it, but got bored (is that ironic?) of everything else that I tried and decided to retrain in my thirties. I now have some very interesting clients, some with exciting businesses, which I'm involved with regularly, as their book-keeper etc. I also went self-employed, which means I can work when and where I want to, so I moved to the coast!

Hi. I'm a Florist. I decided long ago that working in a factory, office or restaurant just wasn't for me. I have been working in the business for over 20 years and 4 years ago I bought my own shop. i love it. A new challenge every day. No two days are the same.

School Bursar
I didn't decide it's what I wanted to do - just sort of fell into it and haven't managed to climb out yet. I used to think I would get a career of some sort but suddenly seem to have got too old.
