After a rather shaky attempt at being educated, including two years studying for a diploma in electrical engineering, his first job was as a commercial apprentice at the British Aircraft Corporation in Hertfordshire, England. The author then joined the sales team at British Visqueen, part of ICI Plastics Division, then traveled out to Australia in 1968 to join the sales team at ICI's Inorganic Chemicals Division in Sydney.

Back in England, the author was employed as a field salesman by IBM's Office Products division.
