On a business trip in Boston, had the following conversation about careers with a 20 year old uni student in Boston who is waiting tables at Legal Test Kitchen:Him: 'So, how did you end up working in the UK? Did you go there after you got your MBA?'
(I should have answered: "lots of training & hard work plus the help of some very generous people along the way". )
Instead I gave him the full overview of my crazy life story including dropping out university to follow a boy to Colorado, my 'starter' marriage and the globe trotting I've done since. All of which he has overtly romanticised. Am now afraid he's contemplating quitting uni & following my example.
Don't be daft kid!
