If I could turn back time

[Gibbon]

Don't really have many regrets apart from not having a threesome which I was close to twice. First time I was young and naive and didn't the see the oportunity second time the second girls boyfriend came home just as her knickers were coming off

Good job you're a contractor with loads a money then ...

I studied biological sciences up to and including post grad.

I too graduated into the 90's recession and no-one wanted to employ me. So I went for an MSc in computing.

I might have stuck to my guns and remained in science.

However, a cautionary tale. One of my old uni friends got in touch years after graduation. He had persued the dream and was working as a researcher for the forestry commission. I was so jealous.

He burst the bubble. He felt his job was horrible, very little money, no prospects of progression and he was bitten by midgies all summer and rained on for the other 360 days.

So maybe the grass isn't always greener

One chap I studied with is now working as a geologist for the US government in Yellowstone national park. He reports no such dissatisfaction with his lot.

Bastard.

Fell into it myself due to lack of direction and would never do the same again given the choice, even though it has been good to me overall. I do think it's true that many people have an interest in something but find out the reality of an associated job is less than impressive, e.g. lots of research work is woefully dull and poorly paid.
I would tell my younger self to at least try to get a business going, while you have so little to lose. When a 6th form disco was cancelled due to a fight at the previous one, myself and a mate booked the venue, had tickets printed, got in trouble with the college, made a few bob and had a great time but we never pushed on from there. Inherent laziness would probably preclude this as an option though, I can see I had a fairly easy middle class upbringing which probably does dull the hunger.

Thats true

But middle aged now, grey, balding, little bit of a paunch.

I did do an hat trick once on a rugby tour i.e. different girl three nights in a row.

Aargh!!! Luke - Please stop being a middle class lazy git and break up your posts up into easier to read paragraphs (see example above).

BTW, are you me? Did the same when I was at school but that was a trip to Alton Towers.

Many moons ago, a chap in the next block to me at Uni had 3 different wimmin on the same day.

One in the morning.

One in the afternoon.

One in evening.

And they all made a fair amount of noise.

I reckon he had a large todger.

Yeah, I did, but it was worn down to a little stub after that day.

And you stayed in all day listening whilst plotting your invasion...................

My career was mapped out due to lack of work at my A levels.

ABB - Accountancy at Cardiff
DE - HND Computer Science at Brighton

Not that I was that fussed as I enjoy the coding and still do.

I would defo have got into contracting earlier, and probably persuaded my ex-wife to be a bit more adventurous about moving away from living near her parents.

Stuck in the South West for too long, lovely part of the country mind you. Just not career central, unless you are into farming, tourism and stacking shelves.

I would say not got married at 22, but love my kids too much for that.

Glad to be in the smoke now, with a woman with a bit more get up and go.

hmmm.......I probably would have studied a lot harder at school/college/uni and become a doctor.

Boring as it sounds, lets face it, youll never be out of work, it pays well, you're respected (as long as youre good at your job), you can diagnose/treat yourself/family/friends etc. and you can pretty much guarantee doctors will be in demand anywhere in the world till doomsday.

Im beginning to get tired of continuously 'chasing' that next gig.
