To ask what job you should be doing?

[curiousbeak]

I should have been a high powered lawyer but was not clever enough so have been in supply chain for 15 years.

I'm very MarkBorrigan! I'm thinking they don't employ 50yos though...

I’m part time medical secretary at a GP surgery- really means just booking appointments and sending referrals off to hospitals. Should have been a vet nurse or a police officer.

Frustrated volcanologist here. Or civil engineer (transport mainly, love bridges and subways but I didn't even know these jobs existed until I was much older).

Unfortunately year 9 geography was purely human (Favelas of brazil anyone?) and my science education amounted to 2 hours a week copying from a textbook.

So instead I'm a teacher who runs STEM clubs.

Doctor. I really regret not trying hard enough / being bright enough. I think about this on a regular basis. I wish I could go back and shake my teenage self. If only I had not allowed myself to get distracted and tried harder at school. Ok I might not have achieved the grades but at least I would have known I'd given it my best shot. It's a regret I will always carry with me.
