Sunday lunch at my family's. Eight people, five jobs. Mum's a teacher. Dad's a bus driver. My sister is an engineer. My uncle is a builder, and my brother is a chef.

So who cooks lunch? Nobody. The chef says he's tired. We order a pizza. Again.

"Hi, I'm Kemal. What do you do?"

"I work as a photographer. I'm self-employed." "Oh, nice. Freelance?" "Yes."

I'm a student. My brother is unemployed, and he's looking for work. My dad is retired, so he gives my brother advice every morning.

"Get up early, Kaan. Send ten CVs a day. Be positive!"

Kaan says, "Dad, it's ten o'clock and you're still in your pyjamas." Dad says, "I'm retired. I give advice. I don't take it."

Mum, my flatmates are great! Lucy is a hairdresser, and Dan is an electrician. When a light breaks, Dan fixes it. When my hair breaks, Lucy fixes it.

It's careers day at my daughter's school. Parents tell the class about their jobs. First, a mechanic. He shows the children an engine. Then a vet arrives with a very sleepy dog.

Next, a firefighter walks in with a real helmet. The children go crazy.
