Law is a crowded profession – and frankly, society is becoming so litigious, so intent on preying on every little weakness that justice is being served less and less. Just look at some of the high profile cases where obviously guilty defendants are freed on technicalities. I don’t believe that is what the law was designed to do.

Journalist? That’s always interesting because every day is different and every story is different. But modern journalism is becoming less and less about skilled writing (with the exception of a few highly regarded analytic reporters) and more and more about intrusion into private moments. How many times have you seen a TV camera shoved in the face of someone who has just lost a loved one, and their tears and grief recorded while someone asks an inane question, such as ‘How do you feel about this?”

Chef? Well, people always like to eat and if you get to be a good enough chef, and reach high enough in the culinary hierarchy, someone else washes the pots and pans you use in creating those wonderful dishes, and using your artistry to make their presentation superb.

Hard choice – they are each demanding professions in their own way, but each has its own reward. It really depends on your temperament.
