Started training to be an airline pilot while still at school but my eyes were failing and, even though ok corrected, I didn't meet the requirements.
Spent 5 years in IT as a Project Manager for the local water board, then left to start my own computer game design studio which went great for 2 years until the tax man decided I hadn't been paying enough tax given that most of the work was overseas, so once I'd paid all my bills the company couldn't afford to work anymore and so that got folded.
Trained as a Truck Driver (Class C) in January this year, which is what I really, really want to do, but haven't been able to find a single driving job in my area (U-33, you know of anything in the Eastbourne area?!!)
While I'm waiting for a driver position to come up I have been made Import Director of a large international clothes firm, doing lots of boring managerial type stuff, money is nice, as is the lifestyle, but its not really what I want to do.
Not a bad CV for 23 years of age eh?
