I hope he remembers and offers free legal advice to chimney sweeps. But we had one of those reports. Spat out 3 choices and the two of mine I remember were Army and Landscape Gardener. But I had no desire to join the cloud punchers.

But worst advice was probably to drop down a weight from light heavweight to middleweight. Much starving, grumbling and occasional drooling for food ensued.

(Oh, and respect for those encouraging women to do STEM!)

I feel your pain.
swap skiiing for rock climbing and you have the worst advice i was ever given. (Half way through the climb the anecdote about the person who had a heart attack at this point last week and fell to their death in the chasm below really added to the enjoyment of it)
