I was tested for minister, astronaut and police...

@bijouxbroussard: Too tall for an astronaut... did the police trials...And here I am a person holding to faith lol
@MikefromEP: What was the height limit for an astronaut ? My brother was a policeman. He just retired after 21 years on the job.

@bijouxbroussard: It used to be 5'10 when I was a kid. So much for the dream

An Engineer or a Scientist - not sure which, nor which discipline in either, but it's the thought that counts.

Unfortunately both professions are intensely mathematical, and Mathematics rolls up and hides its secret signs and symbols when it sees me approaching.

Ended up in semi-skilled trades work, although still in mixed scientific and engineering.
I've always wanted to be a lawyer but it all changed after realizing how contradicting that profession can be

@icecoldzt:

Yes, but it has one advantage: ever heard of a poor lawyer?
@ArishMell: an advantage for you maybe.. not for me though.. it is not enough for me
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@icecoldzt:

No, me neither. No advantage for me at all. I am not a lawyer, not even a solicitor's clerk! I was always a semi-skilled factory worker.

My favourite loco by the way is number (4)3924 on the Keighley & Worth valley railway. An ex Midland (not LMS but original Midland) 4F

@Normanwestie:

A reason for that particular choice?

I lived right by a main railway when very young, and well after we'd moved, for the last couple of years of steam operation we could just about see the comings and goings in the sheds from my senior-school playground. My uncle worked in BR's labs.

Yet though I support the railways I've never wanted to work on them, for some reason.

Nor did I become a railway enthusiast in the sense of learning to identify classes, origins etc of locomotives, apart from the most distinctive and well-known; but became more interested in their technical aspect.

I think now, had I known more certainly in my teens what I wanted to do for a living, and had the aptitude, I would have gone into one of the natural-sciences, probably geology or astronomy.
