Quite a soulful post Andy. I'm sure many can relate. Just your eye catching title has me thinking...
So three diverse careers? What are the other two? I'm intrigued. My goal was a journalist instead I became a swimming teacher and then estate agent (hated it) and then artist (doesn't pay) and now........

Hey @buckaroobaby
Thanks for the message. You have done quite a variety of things. It's interesting how life has a tendency of evolving like this. It sounds like you enjoyed the swimming instruction the most - where were you based when you did that?
I studied for Nature Conservation and did that for about a decade, then I went into a totally different direction and was a project manager and regional sales manager for Adobe Software to university students, did some teaching and recruiting as well - I sum all of these up as administrative jobs. Then I broke away from the corporate world completely and started running my own e-commerce business which I then later developed into my current web design and development business.
When I was in school I wanted to be an aircraft technician lol. It's probably good that I didn't end up doing that because I practically flunked my electrical engineering exam in matric lol. Can you say planes falling out of the sky? Hahaha I think it worked out for the best.
Oh I can imagine those massive hunks of metal falling out of the sky! The Nature Conservation bit I knew about. But the others are rather different! As long as you enjoy what you do. I think the worst thing must be to hate your career but being stuck there simply because it is your source of bread and butter.
