| 摘要： | Second-year engineering apprentice Gage Walsh nearly became an accountant. Just before starting at college, he spent three months doing accountancy work experience. He was all ready to start a course of further maths, economics and business studies. But at the last minute - a week before recruitment - he switched to a BTEC engineering course. Looking back on it, Walsh says he was attracted to accounting for the money rather than the work - and his parents pointed out how he was always working to make and fix things. He recalls: "I was always messing about in my grandad's garage. He would work on his own cars, and would always have little bits. It was the same with dad; he maintained everything in the house, and built his own garage and summerhouse. I built them with him. That's where I get my engineering mindset." Equally, it was a family decision for him to take a general engineering qualification rather than jumping into the truck trade - he would be qualified to work in another sector if his preferred career path of commercial vehicles (which attracted because they are "bigger, harder to work on and more to them") didn't work out as expected. |
