I Love My Job
I remember that feeling when I left university, wondering what I should do for a living. I wasn't drawn to anything in particular at that point (the inspiration came much later) and I wish someone had sat me down and said "take your time, it's a big decision, and don't let money be your only guide." In this podcast, we listen to people who have embarked on a career that means something to them. Not just a job, but a vocation. Some have known all along it was what they wanted to do, and others have changed direction mid-career. What is life like when your job feels like a part of who you are?

Chlöe - trainee paramedic
On the heels of my interview with Joe, meet Chlöe.
Chlöe and Joe met during their ambulance technician training a year ago.
I've asked both of them almost the same questions, because ultimately everyone's take on the same situation is going to be unique.
One thing that Chlöe and Joe have in common from my perspective is that they already show so much poise after only a year in a job that must come with so much pressure ... listening to how Chlöe describes her day so calmly and gently, it's easy to forget the real nature of the job she does every day. Her patients are clearly in very capable hands.
