I think most people tend to fall into the careers that they are in, but there is anything that people have got the itch to do before?
I always thought it would be quite interesting to work in an airport at some sort of capacity. |  |

Same. What do you do if you don't mind me asking?
I would love to be a writer. I'd also like to work for a decent charity. I have worked in a charity finance department before and was happy but it was a temporary job. |
Do you actually do any writing and submit it for publication? Might sound patronising/obvious, but if you really want to write you should, err, write! |  |

I have the best job in the world. I earn loads of money and fly all over the world getting drunk with hot women. [Post edited 28 Mar 2017 16:55]

I work as a Database Developer for a large Insurance company.
If i didn't need money I'd train guide dogs or go into academia doing research. |  | | |

Always really enjoyed DIY, all 3 houses I've had have been projects, have picked up various skills in that time and if I could change now I'd move into carpentry. Something so rewarding about starting the day with a pile of wood and then seeing what you've created.
Last week or so I've done partition walls, French doors, under stairs cloakroom toilet... been busy as fck but loved it.
Almost depressing knowing I'm back to the day job in a few days |  |

I studied Creative Writing at uni, although did too much partying to graduate, it put me off a career in writing if anything.
We used to have writers come in and give talks and they were all doom and gloom. I still write for my own pleasure, and haven't had the enjoyment drained out of me by having to produce a load of drivel on a deadline. |

No. I meant write books to be honest. There's nothing better than a great book and i'd love to write a trilogy inspired by Hunger Games, Maze Runner etc. I have some ideas. I suppose there's nothing stopping me other than the thought it's not worth the effort as it won't be a success; the sort of attitude which doesn't deserve success in the first place. |  |

My point was that if you really love writing you'd be doing it already.
You shouldn't be thinking "will it be a success?" JK Rowling wasn't thinking that when she was on benefits writing stories for her kids in a cafe.
Do it because you want to...if it's a success that's a bonus.
Spend 1 hour less on TWTD per day and dedicate that time to writing. I hate to quote a corporate brand, but "just do it".
You have one life J2. Get your arse in gear! You have literally nothing to lose!
P.s. Work hard, make lots of mistakes, learn from them, edit, report back on here. GO! | |

Careers teacher: lawyer
Me: genuinely can't remember what I wanted at 16. I knew I would be successful though...
Reality: everyone's heard it all before |
Careers teacher: doctor
Me: I wanted to be a photographer, but someone convinced me out of it somehow
EDIT:
Reality: Bearded trucker [Post edited 30 Mar 2017 0:35]

Thanks, although I could've done with giving it a more thorough proof read. A few simple mistakes that I missed when skimming through! | |

No but I have a DVD of one. I get the feeling I would be underwhelmed tbh.
When you listen to them you imagine their actions and expressions but when you see them it takes the mystery away. It also looks very staged. Having said that I would almost definitely go.
Have you seen the live facebook clips of the quiz? Not as good as the audio clips. |
I have seen a few clips of them and you're right when you have the visual it seems far more staged. I wish I had gone and seen them when they were doing the small shows at Hen & Chickens as it would have more than likely just ended up on a night on the beers with them. I'm sure they have loads of stories that they can't get away with saying on the radio..
Going back to the original question, a radio presenter seems to be a good gig. Couple of hours a day talking waffle with your mate. Easy Money. |  | | |
