Careers/professions you would have liked to have done early on in life

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

I'm an electrician. Have been since I left school. But if humans could live to a 1000 years, then I'd really like to retrain as a porcelain Potter or fine cabinet maker.

The average apprentice is 3 years. So let's say 4.

But an apprenticeship is intensive. So let's say 10 years. Pottery and cabinet making is much longer.

At uni I did Marine Biology. I never worked in the field, but would have been fun. Scuba diving and sailing is my only real connection with the sea nowadays.

I meant friends in the psychologist side not the criminal side … but that said I’ve led an interesting life so know quite a few criminals too (including a couple of people doing time for murder)

Yes I know. I always thought it was Mccloyd. Obviously my spelling was way off.

Joiner, I think. I've started messing around with wood, designed and made a bar for the garden and a planter for some herbs.

If you want to do something different then you should. Life is short and putting things off doesn’t make life last any longer.
