Name: CJ

Profession: Sub-contractor for Centrica and Martial Arts Instructor

Attended York High School: 2016-2021

Post-16 attended: Askham Bryan College, but it wasn’t for me and I dropped out three times

University or college? N/A

Favourite subject at school: PE and Maths

What I thought I wanted to do: Become a police officer or a teacher.

 What I ended up doing: Subcontracting for Centrica and teaching kids and adults martial arts.

How I got here: After leaving York High, I worked in every field imaginable – farming, hospitality, retail – none of it worked. I was lucky to meet the right person at the right time,  earned their respect and trust and landed a job subcontracting for Centrica. I also teach martial arts.

Top tip! Never give up and know that it’s okay if plans change. Eventually you’ll find what you are meant to be doing.
