"At the tender age of 13, my little hairless clockweights squirted their first dose of testosterone into my blood stream. The result was a mental alarm clock shouting, 'I NEED TO LOOK AT GIRL'S FANNIES.' I reasoned that if I became a Gynaecologist, I'd get to look at fannies all day.
"It was only when I reached the age of about 16 and learnt about STD's and yeast infections that I realised I'd only ever get to see diseased ones."
Tell us about your childhood career ambitions and the moment at which your aspirations crumbled into a pile of broken dreams.

Varied ambition...sadly lacking in any realityAt the time when Inspector Morse was on the telly- I wanted to be a Detective Inspector- I wasn't going to work my way up the police heirachy (currently known as theiving/bribe taking/and generally not working up the ladder- sorry-not a fan of the pigs) oh no I was going to go straight in AND have a beautiful car AND live in Oxford.
Then I wanted to be a Forensic Pathologist- until I realised I'd have to be a) good at science, and b) clever and even more inportantly c) a hard worker.
Then after uni- I wanted to go into Marketing- with no marketing degree/qualifications or experience.
I am now a software tester working for a company that seems desperate to cock up a £10 million contract by tomorrow.
So next week- who knows my ambition to be unemployed may come true..no.. wait...b*gger.
