You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

although I did a vocational degree I still found it very hard to get a job in that area.
I then spent ten years in mind numbing retail jobs before re-training as a teacher.
I love my job and I'm glad I did it, but I have to say there is a lot to be said for leaving school at sixteen and training as a plumber.

This. I would fucking love to know how a pipe works instead of calling my local 18 year old plumber who charges me £96 fucking quid to tighten a bolt or a seal or whatever makes water come out of the fucking tap when I don't want it to. Curse my degree in Classics from Brasenose!
