My first job, still at school, was sh!t kicker at a glazing company. Learned to make screens, cut glass, glaze windows and what it's like to earn a living. After school, trained as a heavy diesel mechanic in an open cut mine. Then went to work in an outback garage working on everything from chainsaws to motorcycles to cars, 4wd, trucks and earthmoving stuff, panelbeating, painting and rescue and recovery trips into the simpson desert. I must have mended thousands of punctures there. Moved to the city, had a couple years as stock control/ delivery at a 4WD workshop then a couple more years as a lab technician in an experimental fish farm (after some training in my spare time). Last 10 years, I've been working with intellectually disabled people. It's great and I get paid to do stuff I love doing anyway and helping others achieve their goals. I also do occasional tandem paraglider piloting in the spare time. Now, am studying to be a librarian. cheers simon
