If I could turn back time I wouldn't have finished with a boy was going out with (I was 18).

Met him again when I was 64 and married him.

I had, in between that what turned out to be a very unhappy 20 year marriage, then I had the courage to leave.

Work wise - I was happy in my first job - typist. However, at 36 I got a degree and went into teaching. That became my love up till the day I retired.

I would do nothing differently.

My experiences through life has made me who I am. Sure, I made questionable decisions, but also some brilliant decisions and were it not for my chosen path through life I would not have my lovely Husband and Son and amazing Granddaughter.

I was too hasty in getting married and having children. I wish now I had taken my fathers advice and had a career. Not sure what I would have done though, some form of social work, I think.

I'm sure this has probably been done before but I find it fascinating.
In my career I worked mostly 'office based' in finance. I enjoyed it and was good at it but, given the choice now, would I follow the same path - no I don't think I would.

If I had my time again I would love to have been an architect or structural engineer. I developed a great love of construction and all the building processes when renovating our homes over the years.

I always ask friends this question and its really surprising what people would choose. It reveals a whole different side to them - in a good way!
