That's right.

Yeah.

It's interesting.

I kind of went and talked to young people about this when they're coming up to leaving certain, they're not entirely sure what they want to do with their lives.

I oftentimes tell that story about when I was coming up to leaving school, I hadn't a clue what I wanted to do and I wouldn't have been overly academic.

And so the idea of going to college, it was a possibility.

It wasn't something I wanted to do.

And I can remember kind of talking down to that saying, oh, I don't want to.

be like college people.

I just want to get out and get a job.

But I was really bad with things like with my hands, you know, in terms of I would never have been good at a trade.

I was too short for the guards and I was too young for to be a fireman.

And so nursing kind of was one of those things.

Back then you got paid to do nursing.

So it was the apprenticeship model.

And so I applied to almost every hospital in Dublin and the surrounding areas and eventually got into St.

John of God's in Stillorgan and started my training there as a 17 year old.

Like when I think about it now, like heading into a space like that as a child, really.

Yeah, straight away, I kind of knew I was home.

Do you know what I mean?
