The tracker found a set of footprints in the dusty street, and said he thought they were the tracks of the thief.

Sometime after that, the aborigine was in another town, and his sharp eyes picked out the same footprints he had seen days before.

Career Spot By Tony Higgins

When young people at school think about their future jobs and how they should prepare for them they usually ask their parents and teachers for advice. Caitlin Moran, however, never needed career advice. Now aged 18, Caitlin is seen once a week introducing a popular television programmer and she writes regularly for the times newspaper.

The only certificate Caitlin got at school was one for swimming, but at 13 she won a competition organized by a large bookstore and became Young reader/writer of the year. Two ears later she became Young reporter of the year for a Sunday newspaper. She explains: I just thought to myself one day “I want to be a writer”. Although a teacher once said I wrote well, nobody ever suggested writing, or anything else, as a career. School stopped me being naturally curious about things and that meant I lost interest in studying. I quit school at the age of 11 and finished my education at home.
