Hi All,

Seeing as its Friday I thought I would delve into the psyche's of all you Cert Forum fans and ask:

"What career would you like to have, if you didn't work in IT?"

It can be any career regardless if you could do it in real life. I more want to know what kind of person you are than ask a serious question about a career change.

I'd love to be a doctor. I think its the most noble job in the world, helping people. I'd imagine they also get the ladies, ah yeah

I'd be a geneticist if it was to re-sequence Dinosaur DNA

 

I probably would have stayed in healthcare and moved up the ranks or would have gone into engineering, possibly electrical. I may have gotten my CEng by now instead of the CITP

Or I could have ended in up something that I never considered... But definately not sales, not a salesman, that's for sure

Have a mooch around the forums, and you'll see there is a career that I want more than IT, and that's to be a writer.

That being said, that's not something I can 'fall back on'. If I weren't in IT, I really don't know what I could feasibly fall back on. The best-paying one would be going back to being a forklift driver! But in all honesty, I'd probably take some time off to sharpen my language skills, and possibly look at becoming a translator (because that's an easy career to get in to too )

 

Don't. Get. Zeb. Started.

Only warning

 

I could see you as a full time martial arts instructor with your own Dojo

I can see you as a teacher mate, or a politician for some reason, don't know why

When I did my A'Levels it was a toss-up between BioChemistry or Marine Biology. Some how I ended up in IT but it was never the plan. I think we made the right choice

I'd love to be a part time writer and would like to write a childrens book, because basically I'm a big kid

I imagined you'd say DJ. Not sure why . . .

Does he like J.P. like me?

Hopefully you'd do a better job spotting an impending global financial meltdown than our current Economists!!!

 

Nah, I'm not sure whether it was a degree or a masters, but Zeb most certainly went to Uni and did Palaentology

As for the writing - just sit down and do it (will take my own advice one day lol)

You can peek at a taster of my writing here, if you feel so inclined

 

Use to have my own club, but since I only did it part-time, plus I didn't charge for classes, it didn't grow... It was fun though

My father-in-law (to be) is a 4th Dan in Jujitsu and something else. He's really into Kung-Fu too I think. He reckons a proper Dojo won't make loads of money and the ones that try to be all flash and make a fortune are no good . . . .
