Me too Jazzi, sussed it out just before leaving school at the age of 15 that young girls who worked in office work always had every weekend off, so that wasn't hard to decide where I wanted to work, especially as shop workers didn't get weekends off! so did a two -year Business Studies/Commercial Course at the local technical college, and got my first job working at the local newspaper in the Accounts section. Joined the WRAF for 6 years in Communications, then secretarial/accounting thereafter.

Not much use to me now retired of course, except useful touch typing when posting on OFF. .
