To be honest proth, I have no idea! I don’t really ever recall talking to one

I lacked imagination so just wanted to do something that would earn some money so I could have a nice car - that was what interested me as a teenager!

If I could go back in time, I’d focus more on working out what I really enjoyed doing so I could have tried to find a job based around that. Even now I’ve no idea what that would be though!

On balance, I enjoy my job but I couldn’t say I’m doing something I’m really passionate about.

Put it this way, I wouldn’t encourage my kids to follow in my shoes. I’d much rather they pursued interests they were passionate about and figured out how they can make a career out of it later.

Thing is though, I’m sure everyone craves what they haven’t got; I’ve got stability in spades so crave a bit of excitement. I’m sure there are plenty of people that envy a bit of stability!

Someone must be actually living their dream though, mustn’t they?!
