Changing careers - what did you used to do?
The past few months I have met two ex engineers, like myself, who have
gone into nursing and heard of another from a friend, so I was wondering - what did you used to do? kt. -- So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me "Can you give me a lift?" I said "Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.' |

I said "Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.' > I went the other way! I left nursing in 1989 and went on a training course for 1 year and at Exeter where I gained a diploma in Horology and became a clockmaker , after one years placement with a clock shop I got a government grant and I worked from home repairing antique clocks right up to a couple of years ago when I retired at the age of 71. It was the best thing I ever done . It was a satisfying job working on valuable clocks that were sometimes over 200 years old, there was no one to tell me what to do, I worked what hours I felt like , and the customers were very grateful and respected my skills ...cas |
