1. Teresa Butler - Secondary School Teacher

My mum was a teacher, and when I was small, it was a little awkward having her teach in the same school I attended. But after I grew up and met some of her former students, I realised what a difference she had made in people's lives. I started out as a teacher's assistant, but one day I daringly stepped out of my place and tried out some innovative teaching techniques. The head teacher got to hear about it, and was so impressed that I moved on to teaching my own class. I really enjoy teaching at secondary level, because I find that teenagers are very engaging and we have some great discussions about modem issues in class.

2. Luisa Matthews - Office Administrator

All I wanted at seventeen was to keep from going to university like all my friends, so I took a management course and then went to work as an office manager in a small real estate company. In the beginning I was a little nervous about making decisions that would have an impact on the entire office, but my boss is a close friend and luckily had faith in me and my abilities. My friends who are still at university don't appreciate the fact that I have a lot of responsibility right now and that I supervise a large number of employees. They're always calling me to go out - to parties or for pizza, but I usually tum down their invitations because I have to get up early the next day to go to the office.

3. Gerald Bryant - Diving Instructor

 I am very interested in the field of marine biology and I devoted my younger years to researching and writing a book on the subject. I then went on to get my diving certificate. I started working in England as an instructor, but when I realised there was no real future for me there, I moved to the Caribbean. I started with a diving company in the British Virgin Islands, which was great, but I noticed that the equipment was somewhat outdated. When I pointed it out to my boss, he was so surprised that he immediately ordered new gear for all the instructors. I soon fell in love with the island lifestyle. I enjoy my job, as well as my time off, and now life is perfect.

4. Ashley Flores - Illustrator

After art school I really wanted to become a 'serious' artist, but I knew that I couldn't be sure of supporting myself financially if I did. Then Mum suggested I try book illustration. She's pretty wise and she soon convinced me. I started at a small publishing company that produces children's books. I love working there, but in the beginning I was hopelessly disorganised - I kept ordering the wrong types and amounts of supplies. I eventually got the hang of it, though. Recently I branched out into drawing a weekly cartoon for the local newspaper in my spare time, and I hope it will lead to more work of the same kind, perhaps with a national newspaper.

 5. Kenneth Steward - Jewellery Designer

I never imagined I would end up doing this kind of work, and I actually fell into it by accident. I wanted to buy my mother a brooch for her birthday, but I couldn't find one I liked, so I decided to design my own. Some of her friends saw it and liked it so much that I started to get requests on a regular basis for new designs. My mother likes to boast that her son is a designer, but I wonder what her friends would think if they knew that I haven't had any formal training. My brooch designs became so popular that local jewellery stores began calling me for advice on their own jewellery lines, which is how my new jewellery consulting company was born. That's growing rapidly, and I'm also planning to take on some people to help me so I can expand into mail-order jewellery.
