My dad said I had to get an education, so I got my degree in engineering, bought an old VW split screen camper and left the country!
Picked grapes in France,Apples in Normandy,Worked at the Heineken brewery in Amsterdam,ran a coffee bar in Athens as well as working in the boatyards around the islands. Ditched the camper and got a job in an orange juice factory in Israel,deckhand on the Voice of Peace pirate radio station off the coast of Israel. Built my house in India and started my own biz exporting rugs from Nepal,India, Pakistan and Afganistan into the Uk. Just an excuse to wander about really, never made any real money but it funded some great trips,and a bicycle hire company in Rajasthan.Well it seemed a good idea at the time! Crewed oil tankers round the gulf for a few years. Moved on to S/E asia not much work done there! Volunteered to help organise the first elections in Cambodia after pol pot and taught English there too. Worked at a few refugee camps on the Burmese boarder and had a share in a guests house in Lao.
Kids slowed things down so I ran a sea food resturant on the south coast of england then became the general manager of a slot machine and video place for 12 years, it was only open 8 months of the year so a few trips could be squeezed in. Had to leave there before I started killing Teenagers. Build manager for a teak furniture company.Capacitor winder and a hundred bar and sweeping jobs in between. Now I'm doing maintenance work at a holiday park and getting ready to move to China in November. Occupation errr.....:icon_cheesygrin:
