Criminy Jim - you sound just like me, except I'm about 6 years older'n you at a guess.Originally Posted by Jim2
I've made a few 'career' changes along the way. Spent 6 years wasting my time at uni (Chem then EarthSciences), then worked as a farm labourer, then a research technician (vet. surgery, farmwork, computer stuff), then 6 years in a dairy lab, then 3 years as a Systems Manager, then a couple of years in software support, then a couple doing house-husbanding and contract programming, then (groan) the last 5 years doing software testing and tech writing.
I don't entirely agree with you there. People (esp. males?) are largely defined by what they do or choose to do with most of their weekdays.Originally Posted by Jim2
I dunno who I am. I'm married with kids, a motorcyclist (a large part of who I am), play guitar, and I'm a jack of all trades (tiling, painting, plastering, plumbing, electrical, stained glass, carpentry, cabinetry, etc etc.), but sadly master of none. And I despair not because of being pigeon-holed, but because I haven't really found a niche, despite many false starts....
