  7. I'm actually going to be talking about my career in
  8. the context off personal social health, education.
  9. Ah, nde.
  10. What you probably already know from your experience of those
  11. classes is that they are very wide ranging.
  12. It seems as if there's no subject that can't come
  13. up under P S H e on that sort of
  14. is, ah, definition of what my life has been involved
  15. in some until a little bit about my background.
  16. Um, the the first thing to say is that I
  17. was educated in India as well as in England.
  18. On dhe.
  19. I have all my life had a passion for crickets,
  20. and this picture just shows you sort of dirt tracks
  21. that we played on in very, very hot environments where
  22. often there was no grass at all and there were
  23. no downloads of games or going on sort aimlessly.
  24. So it was great fun.

  31. That's where minding can.
  32. My family's link with the West Country began because when
  33. we came back from India as a family, they will
  34. came and lived to me in the West Country, which
  35. would be dispersed throughout parts off a country.
  36. No, I had a pretty traditional education on.

  38. going to go to university, I knew I was going
  39. to do that.
  40. And I have thought about all sorts of different things.
  41. But I ended up reading sociology, and the reason I
  42. did sort of relates to be the S H e.
  43. In the sense that my interests were so wide, I
  44. wasn't quite sure whether I wanted to do law or
  45. medicine or read history or whatever on when it came
  46. to it.
  47. I actually went for sociology on the basis that I
  48. didn't know.
  49. Well, unless it Waas.
  50. Maybe that's not the best reason for choosing subject.
  51. But it worked really well for me and I loved
  52. my degree on dhe.

  62. have this picture of an airplane wing and on engine
  63. on the first company.

  65. spent about six years there in a number of different
  66. jobs, from human resources to sales to marketing.
  67. And I also worked for the big boss.
  68. And again, I put some of the diversity of what
  69. happened in the early part of my career and indeed
  70. for the rest of my career, down to this sort
  71. of curiosities interest in lots of different things again, back
  72. toe, he s h e A lot of money career
