1 I did not think I would be able to drive, which is fairly key for that job, but I have been able to over come that.

2 It is fairly physical job and me and my parents thought it was probably not the most suitable job for me.

if my mam and dad ever said to me that they didnt think my job was suitable i'd tell em both to take a flying jump!!!!

what sort of parents are they to discourage ambition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was not like that, we talked about it and both me and them thought it might not be right suitable.

good grief get over yourself!!

you will never get anywhere in this life with an attitude like that i'm afraid........ as, i believe, has been said before on numerous threads by numerous people.

Just over 18 months ago i walked into a citizens advice bureau to begin volunteer work thinking "oh i dont think i can do this"........... i am now employed as a debt and welfare rights advisor........ you see i thought i couldnt do it, but with a bit of hard work, good training and belief from my friends and family i have done it.

You can do anything you want to...... no such word as "can't"

I can see that, but I had to live in the real world and surveying might not be the job for you in you dont have good balance and stuff.

It is all in the past anyway as I waited my chance at that anyway.

not much else i can say, apart from good luck, you're going to need it.

Thanks, I know my parents are sort of right when they said jobs like Radiography, Surveying, OT were not for me.

So do something else!!!

There are loads of jobs other people arent suited for, sometimes for reasons that dont seem fair, but either fight for the right to do the job or forget about it!

Yes, I suppose I have always had stupid career hopes or I have been too influanced by my familynot to do things.
