Childhood career dreams

1:17

and I thought that would be really fun.

1:17

Yeah. What about you?

1:19

Well, I'm kind of similar.

1:22

I think, actually, when I was... when I was a child,

1:26

I thought that being a professional sportsman would be fantastic –

1:32

either a footballer or a cricketer.

1:34

What went wrong?

1:35

I'm not good enough!

1:38

I learned that lesson.

1:40

But also, I wanted, when I got a little bit older, sort of teenage,

1:45

and started playing guitar,

1:47

I thought, yeah, maybe a rock star would be the thing for me.

1:52

So, Neil, obviously you are not a rock star,

1:55

but how or when did you decide to become an English teacher instead?

2:00

Well, when I finished university, I wanted to travel

2:03

more than anything else.

2:05

And I wanted to live in foreign countries, not just go on holiday.

2:10

And I thought a good way to do that would be to become an English teacher.

2:14

Yeah, I have a similar story.

2:16

It was the same thing for me.

2:18

I just wanted to live abroad.

2:20

Georgie, what is important to you about your job now?

2:24

Well, many of us spend a lot of our lives working.

2:27

So, for me, it's really important to enjoy the day.

2:33

We work nine to five.
