Didnt have a career of choice, but I worked in a hotel kitchen as a pot washer, then became waiter, so I decided at 16 I wanted to be a chef and do an BTEC in hotel and catering. I went to the open day but decided I didnt want to be a chef as I knew at the time I couldnt / family couldnt afford to buy the equipment I needed. So I did Business instead and ended up as a contractor.

Ideally I wanted to be a vet but was too thick and ended up as a contractor.
