      Maybe. It isn’t my plan right now, but new and interesting things pop up, so I wouldn’t say I’d never change.

    I didn’t intend to but a change of job is happening in the future anyway. A side-effect of the shift from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, there’s less demand for the catalysts I helped develop and manufacture and less need for new catalyst designs. When you’ve spent 20 years working to minimise the harm caused by vehicle emissions it’s bittersweet – the next logical step on the path but I’ll miss my friends and colleagues. I don’t plan at the moment to change professions, we’ll have to see what the futue brings.

    I’ve already made a big change of job – I started out working in finance (my first degree was in Banking & International Finance) and spent ten years trying to find the ‘right’ job for me before I realised that I needed to do something completely different to get job satisfaction. So I went back to school to do new A levels (I originally did Maths, French and German, so I added Biology and Chemistry) so that I could apply to do a veterinary degree. I love my current job so I don’t have any plans to make any more changes but who knows haha
