Ah, my love of stationary is all I need.
I visited a fabulous stationery village once, apparently you can train to be a stationery caddy there- I was quite tempted to do so!
With the overabundance of degrees, I’d say an apprenticeship in stationary would be an excellent opportunity!
I was quite the man after my carpentary apprenticeship, but I had to give it up after 15 years. I realised I had been mishearing the lyrics to the song “I wanna be a door” and the shame was too much.
