I had the choice when I left school join the bank or go to Art School.

The interview at the bank went well and they said that they felt they could offer me the 'overseas' job as they knew it would be left in capable hands. I think incapable hands was more like it as I only got CSE Grade 5 in Maths. No wonder the banks have finally crashed!

So, Art School it was and now I am Creative Director at CIB working with a great team. I still don't do the financial accounts though.
