i worked in retail for 11 years - starting off filling up fruit & veg for cash while i was a student, worked my way through various roles like ordering, supervisory, and was a line manager for the last 4 years.

 

i now work as a management information developer for a bank - I've always been a programmer since i was 5 :D , but my old career kind of kept me away from that.

i wouldnt mind doing that, working with druggies and plonky's is more or less what im doing now but with less pay lol

I trained as a chef and a publican after selling computers for a living. I'm now a Lance Corporal in the Army and been in for 7 years. My job is a helicopter weapons/camera/winch operator. Bit of a difference to my earlier life :rofl::rofl:

production engineer for 18 years,now a mobile service engineer for a soft drinks company.:headvswal

Looking for a change at the moment, Been in Finance for 5 years. Out of curiosity what are the qualification requirements for the role you are looking at. And does age play a factor.
