“I’ve been working in a bank for about five years, and actually I wasn’t
very ambitious or career-minded. Then a new manager came to my branch – he
persuaded me to take the job more seriously, so I started studying to become a
manager myself. I had to do evening classes for five years to get the
qualifications I needed … but it’s been worth it. I enjoy coming to work much
more now. Some people think working in a bank is boring, but for me every day
is different. It’s all about dealing with people … and that’s always a challenge.”
“I’ve been doing the job for about four years now, and I still really enjoy
the actual work. There is a lot of satisfaction, just being with the children and
watching them develop, and seeing things the way they see them – that’s still
great. Mind you, a lot of people no idea just how tiring and stressful a day with a
class of four-year-olds can be. Some people think it’s an easy job, because the
holidays are quite long, and everything. The thing I find depressing, though, is
that there’s no real career structure or chance of promotion in education. I could
easily still be doing exactly the same thins in twenty years’ time!”
“I wasn’t really that academic at school, but I was always a lot more
interested in science subjects than in languages or history or anything … so at
sixteen I applied for an a engineer with a lot of small companies. I was really
shocked to find out that a lot of them only accepted boys! Eventually I was
accepted for a course in electronic engineering. I was the only girl out of
seventeen students! I’m doing my basic training in the engineering centre here at
British Aerospace. The other people who work here are fine to me, it’s no
problem, but people I meet outside are sometimes very surprised when I tell
them what I do, especially older people.”
“About six months ago my wife started saying she couldn’t stand it at
home any more with the children, it was driving her mad, so I said: “Okay then
– if you find yourself a job that pays enough, I’ll change places with you!” I’m a
roofer by trade, mending and building roofs, but I’m self-employed, so I can
