Following on from my post about approaching a big birthday, I have been reflecting more, particularly on my working life.
Got me thinking about why people do what they do. What made you do the job that you do? Have you always done the same thing? Do you wish you’d done something else?
For me, I have always been a social worker. I didn’t consciously choose this career until late teens but think I was always destined to follow this path due to my early life experiences. Most notably suffering some really difficult times in my early years and then being adopted at 5 years old.
Things improved massively for me then and I had a happy rest of my childhood, but I really believe it left me with an inherent need to try to help others if I could.
How about you?
