From IT to Youth Work

Finally my start date arrived, after 20 years in IT, I have moved in to paid Youth Work. I say paid, because I have been doing Youth Work, or better still "working with young people" since 1980.

Some people think I gone mad! but in my middle 40s, I lelt that It was now or never.

So had I got feed up with Unix or Oracle? well the answer is no! my main problem came when I asked who benefit from my work in five years time, I was not sure who would.

Well so far my brain has turned to mush ! The People I have met have been brillant, both young and not so young.
