Jan van Leyden
Adventurer
I work as test manager at a software development company, after travelling along a meandering life path.
I started studying engineering after school, when I wasn't mature enough to do so. I switched to physics later on - much easier! - continued to work in the field for some years after my master, unsuccessfully tried my hand at running a small RPG company, worked as call center agent after our daughter was burn, became a technical writer when our son was born and changed departments five years ago.
I'm quite happy with the job, but do have some problems with my boss, regarding the way our department is headed and how decisions are made. So I sporadically apply for other jobs, but my home town doesn't offer a lot in the technical field and my age doesn't make me a prime candidate for many companies.
