🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Michael Jecks
There are millions of examples of the influence of the parents’ occupations on the way that their child will eventually choose to step on and continue. Especially in the United Kingdom of the late twentieth century, it seemed to be prestigious to follow the dynasty of workers in some concrete sphere. However, the treasury of the British literature would have never be supplemented by the dozens of engaging medieval mystery stories if its citizen, native son of the southern England, had complied with the advice of his father and become an actuary. The same would have happened if he had chosen any of the previous jobs that he had – but, luckily, the winding and full of obstacles trail that he had experienced finally led to the literature field and never deviated from this point later.
