  That was a long time ago so I will try and remember….An astronaut. There were times I wanted to be a paleontologist, (like when Jurassic park came out), a volcanologist, or an archaeologist and study the ancient Egyptians. The consistent thing was I wanted to be some sort of scientist, even though it changed about a bit! What do you want to to be?

  When I was 7 I wanted to be a policewoman when I was 10 I got my first guitar and I wanted to be a rock star – I was singing as well. When I was about 16-17 I was a co-signer in a rock band and seeing how much work it takes to have a good band I decided it is not going to be my future.
  For a substantial amount of time, I didn’t really know who I wanted to be when I grow up. Only at the age of 29, after working in different sectors of GIS I decided this is what I want to do and I enrolled to UNIGIS UK.

  That is such a long time ago that I can’t remember, might have been a racing driver. I have two sons and my 18 old son still hasn’t decided what he is going to do so you probably have plenty of time to think this over. What I would say is that the better you do at school the more choices you will have later on. I didn’t really do that well at school myself so I had to do a lot of catching up when I was older which isn’t the best way to do it. What I told my sons was to think about what interested them and go with that. If you are interested in something you will do better in it because learning isn’t such hard work and later it becomes something you enjoy doing.

Hi Hollie Heard, I want to be a chemical engineer when I grow up. I used to want to be a vet but decided I would worry too much about the animals!
Hollie commented on 13 Mar 2018:

Chemical engineering is a really interesting topic and a great career! Maybe you can still volunteer at an animal shelter or something when you have the time so that you can still work with animals too!

Yeah, I’ve always been interested in science and do a stem club after school which is fun👍🏻
Hollie commented on 14 Mar 2018:

I’m glad you enjoy it! It’s important that you have fun with what you do and that will always help get you through the day when things get a bit stressful. If you stick with it I’m sure you’ll become whatever you want to be and will work in, (what I think is), one of the best careers you can have!
