Was it a conscious decision to go from classics to transport planning? He woke up with a heavy hangover one morning with a message on his answer machine, telling him he'd better not be late for his first day of work. He had no idea when he'd applied, when he should arrive or even where his next clean pair of socks were

Was it a conscious decision to go from classics to transport planning? not transport planning. but Town Planning in general, yes. I remember doing an archaeology paper and studying the origins of Greek colonies/ overseas settlements and thinking "actually the built environment really interests me" Again I say - where did it go wrong lol? I figure maybe in 2 or 3 jobs' time I might have the job I really want. Did I ever ask how you decided to work for the Police? Or was it just a case of "I could do that job..."

Well I did my masters in Web Journalism and whilst applying for jobs I took a job for the Department of Trade and Industry as a Communications Officer but I got made redundant so I ended up with a temp job for the Police. After 6 months of realising that journalism jobs were underpaid and few and far between, the Police offered me a permanent job working on personnel projects. I've been here ever since.

I see! Yeah I guessed you weren't in your dream job there, I presume in common with all the people on here who work... It's a shame really. I might set up a "dream job thread" so long as people are willing to be honest and not say "none"
