I have been asked to answer a series of questions for a weekend supplement for a national paper! I thought I would post the questions here so as to get my mind thinking about how I should respond. * Did you know what you wanted to do when you were young? * Did you need any qualifications to pursue your career choice? If so, where did you study/how did you make it happen? * Can you describe your early career? * How did you get into your current role? * Can you describe the region where you work? * Can you describe the work you do and the organisation you work for? * What are the main benefits/rewards of working in Antarctic? * What are the main challenges of working in such a location? * Do you have any loneliness issues? * Has it proved easy to interact with local people or colleagues? * Have you ever been in any danger? * What's the most unusual thing to have happened? * What was the major culture clash moment that made you think, “woah”? * Have you found yourself in any amusing situations? * Do you ever wish you had chosen a more conventional working life? * Do you think of home a lot? * Has working in the Antarctic changed you? In what ways? * What does the future hold for you (ie, will you remain in similar work, would you like to work in a similarly challenging environment elsewhere?) * Do you have any advice for young people (or those looking to switch careers) who might want to follow a similar career path? (ie, would you recommend any particular qualifications/courses; and what mental/emotional qualities might you need?)
