My names Sam Williams and I am marketing assistant at the Broadway Theatre. My job is to, basically, when we sell the theatre to either a dance school or a big agency coming on tour or a band for example. Ill basically have a budget and my budget will be used to sell the ticket as best as possible and as many tickets as possible.

My names Sam, I wanted to be fireman Sam, I suppose when I was younger and watched it on it TV. Now Ive grown its not so much to be that cartoon character but as to, actually its interesting that everyday is slightly different and obviously I like physical work as well and would like to be outdoors and that comes with being a firemen.

Well I left school when I was 17, I did my first, I did my AS levels and then I left, because I was doing sports science and had a knee injury, I was sort of in bed for 6 months, it was quite a big operation and obviously when I was so sport orientated. So that was one the major problems because it put hold too everything, Ive had and my education stopped, but its all happened for a reason and Im glad it did now because, I earned the money to go travelling to, as I said, to Australia and then Ive come back and managed to get a job where I enjoy and I can see a clear goal of what I want to do by when the time Im 30.

I could be quite laid back; I could be too laid back at times, if you ask my boss. I think in general if things happen that arent what you want them to do then just do them and do them to the best you can. Then when you come out youll have something to show for it and you can get something else, so many doors that open when one door closes, like when my knee happened I thought what can I do?, but then there are so many other options that are available to you.

In a couple of years time, if Im not at the theatre, obviously Id like to be a fireman, working my four days, fours days off. In those four days off I would like to go to college and learn a trade basically, so Ive got options off where to go if I wanted to go back to Australia.
