I'm still gobsmacked that I now have a job. Also, it's on the career path that I set out on nearly 7 years ago when I started my mechanical engineering degree at Nottingham, which I came so close to packing in during my 3rd year, "to run off with the circus."

That was really a crap time for me. I'm so glad I stuck with it even though I got shit grades. I may even be able to work back in the UK, eventually.
