When I left school I had no idea what I wanted to do with myself. Through a friend of a friend I got a job as a trainee draughtsman in an architects office. He was 64 years old when he took me on and he retired a couple of years after I joined which left me in limbo. Inspired, I studied architecture the following years and, hey presto! a career was born.
My only minor gripe (and it's very minor) is the niche I seem to have found myself in. Most of my work comes from hospitals which isn't the most interesting or expressive form of building although it can be rewarding at times.
One thing I learnt as a trainee is how to draw by hand (with a drawing board and pens, remember them?) which I still enjoy far more than drawing freehand or on a computer, purely for personal enjoyment.
Remind me, what was I talking about?
Oh yeah. My job, love it.
