Hello,

I thought you might be interested to hear how your advice worked out for me as a 52 year old Engineer Surveyor of 9 years following a 26 year career in the RAF as a Mechanical Engineer.

I came to you in January 1986 as my father was at his wits end with me about a career and my lack of enthusiasm for studying at school. I saw Melvin R Stockdale and he wrote his recommendations in the Career Advice Report dated 24 Jan 1986.

To be honest, reading this now is slightly unnerving, although how accurate it was as advice is ridiculous!

The line to take away for me is:

“The two main fields which I suggest you look at carefully in order to (a) find out what they involve and (b) to test your own feelings about them: Surveying and Electrical/Mechanical Engineering.”

Like I said that is EXACTLY what I have done and am still doing!

I hope you find this story of your business being absolutely on the money as interesting/funny as I do, I wish my Dad was still here to share this with him. I think I did him proud in the end and all his worry and frustration paid off in the end!
