Leaving Cert Subjects
David Fleming, Sub Lieutenant - Navy
What subjects did you take in school and how have these influenced your career path?
For my Leaving Certificate I took the subjects, French, Geography and Business. Prior to applying for my cadetship I found out that I required a Science subject which I took up in my Leaving Certificate.
A lot of my training and education through the Navy todate has been Maths and Science based particularly Physics. If I had a choice again I would have gone down this line in school to give me a better foundation. The subjects I chose just made everything slightly harder.
Keith Lynch, Private (Line)
What subjects did you take in school and how have these influenced your career path?
P.E. was always one of my favourite subjects in school and is probably the most obvious subject I have taken into my career. However I use Geography on a daily basis in map reading and orienteering. In my degree the subjects of Communications and Human Resources help me to work well in group duties and training excersises.
Jenny Zanotta, Tour Manager
What subjects did you take in school and how have these influenced your career path?
I am maybe not the best person to ask this, as I am a school dropout. My life experience has been the biggest thing to influence me to go in this direction, as before I was always a little bit lost, and now I have found my passion.
