How old was you when your career started?

[Ian-man]

Started in a factory as an engineer. 2 years later was on the dole. Worked in security for 12 years and did night classes for 7 of those. Till I had an hnc in electrical engineering. Worked as a mobile service engineer for 15 yrs now.
Always liked fixing things so suited me.
However the jobs changing now with targets for sales taking more priority.
Starting to feel it's time for a change but alot of other mobile service jobs have similar issues nowadays.
