Interview with Gary Pennick, design and technology teacher Age 28. Comes from Whitby, North Yorkshire.

Did you originally set out to be a teacher?
You were happier studying on a more general course?
Yes much. The National Diploma meant I could try all different forms of art like graphics, ceramics as well as painting. It led me on to a degree in Museum and Exhibition Design at the University of Humberside in Hull where I could really develop my interests in graphics and 3D design.
Why did you decide on teaching?
How did you get into it?
Then a teaching qualification followed?
And now you're doing it for real?
Would you say teaching was a good career to go into?
What about the bad bits?
And the financial rewards?
Have you any advice
And do you look forward to work everyday?
