How did your experiences with education set you up for a career? What choices did you make? What advice can you give to people starting out at the beginning of their working life?

I trained for a 'fall-back' career. For several years I worked in this area arriving strictly at 9.30 and leaving at 5.30 on the dot. I didn't feel fulfilled but I found it helped to get through the day if I computed every quarter hour how much money I had earned. I worked out that if I could just get to 3 pm, 5.30 came quite quickly.
Then I retrained to something I loved. I arrived early and left late and worked (unpaid) at home on research. I would do this work for free if I was unable to be paid for it.
Follow your heart and your interest.
