Tails from the Bark Side

I liked bits of everything! I wanted to do ALL the careers. I loved drama and English but knew that if I pursued that I'd end up being a teacher, and that really wasn't for me. I'd already vetoed doctor/vet/other proper-sciencey stuff because my maths wasn't strong enough. I hated maths, which was probably why I wasn't amazing at it. I thought about being a midwife or nurse for ages, but wasn't sure I had the people skills at the time. I loved geography and wouldn't have minded doing something to do with the weather, or the sea, or geology... I started doing geography, biology, chemistry and psychology A levels at college, then ditched psychology for environmental science, then ditched it all for a GNVQ in IT because I was emo and hated the world and was sick of academia and just wanted to get a 'nice' steady office job (but with computery prospects). Which I did. I liked business studies a lot, and think that's the one school subject which has been most useful in my working life. I'm still sort of thinking about finishing that English degree I started last year, but it's not urgent.
