Here is my post for Share Your World, hosted by Di.

What is/has been your favourite job/occupation?
Probably what I’m doing now – software engineering. Though the job I had at university was pretty fun, looking after halls of residence, looking after conference delegates in the summer and so on.

Is there a job you would never consider doing?
Quite a few I imagine. I had to do an aptitude test when I was at school in a careers lesson and it came out as “pig farmer”. I wouldn’t want to do that. I don’t think their test was properly calibrated…

Did your family own a business and expect you to join the ranks when you got older?
No.

Did/do you have a career requiring qualifications or did you learn on the job and work your way up?
Only the jobs in physics needed qualifications. You’d think my current job would, but they only wanted to see a potential for computer programming, which they determined via a testing process.
