Head of the Academy

"The Head of the Academy may work in an academic institute, but the position is more than a desk job. If this is where your aspirations lie, make sure you have a love of talking to people. Attending high-end events may not sound like work but it absolutely is."

"It seems so long ago since I got called into The Head's office, and yet I remember the fear as though it were yesterday. I'm lucky that he had a sense of humour, although I can't help but wonder whether he agreed with me that Dippy looked better without hair, even if Dippy's mum was being a spoilsport about it."
