I have been very fortunate in my working life to have had 4 jobs that I have really enjoyed.
When I started work after leaving school I decided that I would like to work part time on 2 seperate jobs and have been in my job as a Library Assistant since 1974 firstly at the public library and for the past 31 years at the local college firstly in Rawtenstall until that closed and am now at Broad Oak.

My 2nd job was for the Lancashire Countryside Service based at Clough Head Information Centre on the Grane Road and I spent 12 years there and have to say that job was a real pleasure and only left due to the Centre closing and becomiing a cafe

On leaving Clough Head I went to work in a local museum in Rawtenstall and am still on the books even though I don't do regular shifts anymore.

And lastly for the past 10 years I have been teaching family history and running local history sessions to groups in the Haslingden/Rossendale areas and am enjoying every single minute of it

With all my jobs I have found one reason why I have enjoyed them so much and that is that when someone comes through the door for help you never know what you are going to be asked and no 2 days have ever been the same

As far as I am concerned I am lucky to have never been out of work or had to draw benefits and I really do feel for the people who are genuine and want to work but have no time for the ones who think it is their right not to work and live of the system.
