No.

Left school a thicko and a criminal. 25 years later not much has changed.

Left school at 16 and did a 3 year apprenticeship in reprographics. Been in various parts of the trade ever since. Now in digital print. It's taken me around Europe and allowed me to live like a king in Australia for a few years. Now back in Blighty doing the same thing riddled with dept and waiting to win the F***ing lottery!

Yes. Did B.Ed, to train as a teacher and still doing that. Now Doing my M.Ed - talking of which I really should get off this bloody forum and do some of my dissertation. The org sucks you in and doesn't let you out for hours. You plan to have a wee quick five minute look, and this is what happens.

I think you all know what I do

Wifey did a BA in History at UCL, followed by a PhD at Exeter. She finished full time education at the age of 28

She taught Early Modern Britain to undergraduates for a while, then wrote three books, then was a full time mum, and now she's my Practice Manager. And she's very good at it too

I trained and qualified as a gynecologist. I've changed career but I still like to keep my hand in.

In a way, yes, I'm still involved in the profession that I subsequently trained in and still enjoy.

Started out by studying for a degree in Zoology Physiology and Psychology, then went travelling to Southern Africa where I enrolled in course in Laboratory Medicine at university when the country wasn't known as Zimbabwe.

Came back to the UK and worked as a Biomedical Scientist at teaching hospitals in Central London, picking up qualifications on the way, as well as a year seconded in Australia, before becoming involved in an NHS project that required us to move to Sheffield

That programme has grown somewhat to become recognised in other countries that use or want to use our services, and needs people to go and speak at meetings in places like Miami and Sao Paulo; oh, if I have to...

As Beaniebike mentioned, I'm also meant to be working on a dissertation and checking on postings in the Org Forum gets addictive and stops you working!
