Child - don't remember anything in particular
School - Not a Doctor (lots in family)
University - Engineer for one term then switched to Physical Sciences
What life has currently thrown at me - IT became a thing and I was good at it. Motherhood and the associated glass ceiling kept me from climbing the ladder so I went part time for a while instead.
What I'd prefer - I'd like to be doing some sort of advisory role/mentoring around life skills but I can't afford to do it yet. Financial education / learning skills in school, adult financial education - basic stuff around budgeting, how bank accounts and credit cards work, how to avoid debt, planning for the future with pensions. Seems to be sadly lacking in knowledge in a significant proportion of the population. Will do something around this when I retire.
