I had this idea following TheCatWoman's question about career v job. Older people might feel poignant about a past lost in the mists of Time. Regret is human but can be destructive. It can also lead to enlightening insights. I think of my working life as a string of pearls rather than a single diamond solitaire. It was not the job alone, but people I worked with, homes I had during each period and what I learned about myself as a result. What are your experiences?
Great sub question Marianne72 .
I was about to go off on a positive about how my previous jobs have helped me. What I realise is that all jobs, people I met, and connections built were masked - so was any of it truly authentic?
Study....I would liked to have done an MSc and or PhD in a science subject, but on the other hand philosophy always intrigued me which is the exact polar opposite!
Job.....I always wanted to work in quality control, editing or proof reading. I've just booked assessments for dyslexia and dyscalculia so the above is probably unattainable lol
Maybe working 20+yrs ago for Aardman Animations on something like Wallace & Gromit (id never get bored moving the figure 1mm at a time for years on end)
