My ambition is kept in check by a healthy dose of realism. In ten years from now I hope I'll have given up my current line of work and have at least one book published. That said I find it very hard lately to have clear thinking time, head is full of day to day dross. I always had far too much imagination though so hope to find time and let it run wild ....

@Max-the-3rd I'll go further and insist on you showing us your work. If I can put my pathetic doodlings in my gallery, I'm sure you can put some decent sculptures up

Me? I'd like to be my own boss, ideally doing illustration and design. I definitely don't want to be in poxy Dagenham.

I used to have ambitions, never thought I'd be where I was 10 years ago, never thought I'd be where I was now.
Nothing ever goes to plan, life has a habit of surprising you in both good and bad ways.

My ambition is to leave the UK and start a B&B in somewhere like Romania in the mountains for adventuring types and people who enjoy the outdoors.

So I started life as a electrician, worked on building sites, hated it and one day I just didn't bother going any more (I was young then, no commitments).

Got a job at Gamestation and within six months was the assistant manager. Got sacked for abusing my staff discount to my mates .

Started work as a driver for a welding wholesalers. They had an engineering workshop where they repaired machines. I decided that's what I want to do. I went from driver > warehouse manager > sales > sales manager and after 10 years at the company became engineer then engineering manager.
A year and a half later the place closed down and I became redundant. I loved it there .
Now I work for a different company in the same trade but I hate it. Nice boss, nice group of people but mostly all I do is service and calibrate machines rather than repair them, very dull.

I want to move on to pastures new but really don't know what to do with my career now. Any job offers?


Kaz was a dish washer for a year and a restaurant waitress and barmaid for a long time. She gave up work to look after her children after her third.
She went to college to study business and social care and started work in a care home for the elderly. She ended up fulfilling her ambition and became a joint manager of that care home.
She had to give up that job when she was diagnosed with mental health problems (no tolerance given). Now she's a stay at home Mum who works for herself selling Ann Summers gear.
She hopes one day to be an Area Manager whilst I hope one day she learns to bloody drive so I can stop taxiing her to and from the parties .

I only last year achieved a childhood ambition to have all the Asterix books and once spent 8 years searching for a deck found playing cards so I play long term

Nice. You must be very proud of him .

My job is in a very niche market. Everybody knows everybodies name kinda thing. I would love to back to college and learn a new trade but I have a family to support now which makes it very difficult. One day maybe.

Well played, sir.
Thanks :grin:.

The ahem full truth to the story is a couple of mates used to work across the road at McDonald's. They used to pop over occasionally and bring me free food and I would run their purchases through the till with my staff discount :innocent:.

You'd have thought I was running a full on laundering and racketeering business the way the area manager carried on at me .

Ah to be young and dumb again. The things I'd do for a Big Mac

I don't know nobody named Focker .

If he was an engineer in the Welding industry I would probably know him. I know many welding machine repair engineers from your neck of the woods.
